1025 S Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90019, USA Website ↗ Ethiopian

Light streams in through the windows of this tranquil family affair in Little Ethiopia where a congenial team oversees a simply adorned setting that feels like a humble abode. They are content to let the food do the talking and offer a colorful selection of Ethiopian classics with vegetables and meat alike arriving on oversized silver platters lined with injera. Best shared with a group, the "veggie utopia" offers immediate insight into their talents, spotlighting lentils seasoned with berbere and turmeric. Finely chopped kitfo is something of a house specialty and the spicy Somali variation, made with lean prime beef flecked with onions and jalapeños, is especially enjoyable.
