Editorial Review for Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
In the Ethiopian tradition, diners eat with their hands off big communal platters lined with edible dough. The menu offers lamb, beef, chicken, shrimp and assa (orange roughy), as well as nine vegetarian options. Highly recommended dishes include anything cooked "watt" style, with a sweet-and-savory blend of chili, ginger, garlic and mystery spices. For dessert, head for the destaye, a hot pastry stuffed with pistachios, raisins and cardamom and drizzled with chocolate sauce.

Went here for lunch on a Friday, and it didn't disappoint. I ordered Doro Watt (chicken) and my girlfriend had a delicious spinach entree. The injera is delicious, as is their tea. I wanted to try their much-ballyhooed coffee too, but I had already my caffeine fix for the day. Ethiopian Diamond's staff is very personable, friendly, and helpful. The portions are a little small for the prices charged, but the quality of the food is very high. Recommended.
Pros: Food, service, general enjoyment
Cons: Portions are just a little small for the prices charged
