Ethiopian - American soccer game.

Final score. America 8 - Ethiopia didn't.

What do they call Venetian blinds in Ethiopia? Bunk beds.

I ate at the Puerto Rican place. Good mofungo. Excellent, truly excellent, tostones. Expensive though.

Will probably hit most of the spots at least once.

Good dinner at Roots & Revelry last week.

We enjoyed the food hall. The Ethiopian place wasn't open yet. I had the Ono place which was a sushi spin. My wife had the taco place. Both were good. The barbacoa was top notch IMO.

I wouldn't say Pizitz is a destination place. It's more of a place you stop by when going to somewhere else. It's an up scaled mall food court. They will kill it once the Barons start playing again. I will go out of my way to try the Ethiopian food though.

There used to be an Ethiopian place on Highland a couple blocks north of the weinerschnitzle near LSU. It closed about 4 years ago.

I've heard mixed reviews about the food hall. I hear it's overcrowded, overpriced, and not as good as the many restaurants surrounding it.


I've been once. Had a poke bowl from Ono Poke. It was really good.

Plan on trying the Raman next, or the Caribbean joint.

As to the crowd, it was busy when I went at lunch, but it also just opened like 2 weeks ago, so it's still new and fresh and everyone's trying it.

May be a little over priced, as most things looked in the $11-15 range. But nowadays for something decent, that's about par for the course

This is what I had and that was my experience with it. $15 for dinner wasn't too pricey.

Kind of disheartening to see that most places are so expensive, but it is what it is. I want to try and make it there this weekend.

sorry for the bump. must say that this thread gave me a few chuckles.

reminds me of when we first went to an Ethiopian restaurant here in Atlanta. I made the comment that I don't think I've ever seen Ethiopian food (made in a conversation about what we would order) and my wife says "neither have they".


Anyways, seems like there were some questions that never got answered about what kind of food they have, so here's what I typically get:


Lamb Tibs (basically lamb chunks with some tomatoes, peppers, onions)


the stuff on the right is a spicy red lentil stew called Miser


if you want to make it spicy you can order Awaze on the side or have them cook it in with the dish. It's delicious but very spicy




I like to order this stuff with rice and regular pita instead of the spongy injeru.

They have an Ethiopian place on Magazine Street in New Orleans. I've never tried it but some friends said it was not bad.


Café Abyssinia and it is really quite good. I've been probably six times. There is a new one that opened on Broad street very recently and I've heard it is better.

Still haven't been to the Ethiopian place.....



There's another one on Greensprings now. Anyone tried that one? Red Star is the name I believe.

I really like Ethiopian food. You get injera which is a type of spongy bread and you break off pieces and use it to scoop the food, no silverware, although you can ask for it. The dishes are each small and are a big variety of stewed meets and veggies and side sauces with good spiciness and seasoning somewhat similar to Indian food. We usually get 10-15 small dishes and share.

I've been to the Pizitz Food Hall at least a handful of times now and still haven't eaten at any of the places there.
