Ras Dashen Ethiopian Restaurant

Spinach sambusas—hot, crispy dumplings—are a fine way to start your meal. When you get to the main courses, be brave and try the fiery zilzil tibs, beef strips sautéed with peppers in berbere sauce, an Ethiopian specialty made with red peppers and cumin. Or go for the doro alicha, a fragrant, tender, milder chicken dish. This stuff is likely to induce a food coma, so snag a table with big, cushy chairs.
