What People Are Saying About Demerg

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – This corner restaurant is a love letter to all things Ethiopian, from an elaborate stained glass ceiling fixture to the artwork adorning the walls. A modestly sized bamboo bar is set alongside small, intimate tables and ample window views framed with delicate curtains. Extensive lists of vegetarian, lamb and beef meals top the menu, but the messob dishes allow diners to create individual sample platters of their choosing.

Editor's Tips

Fun Fact:
The "Demera" is a bundle of tree branches that is lit for a traditional Ethiopian festival called Meskal.
The Extras:
Most dishes come in the form of a mixture or stew that is eaten with "Injera" (large pieces of sourdough flatbread).

charged more than menu states

by charming120 at Citysearch

Check your bill if you dine here. We ordered house wine listed at $6/glass. Bill came and we were charged $7/glass. Attempted to show waitress on the menu and explain verbally but language barrier or lack of concern resulted in waitress flailing her hands stating she did not understand. It was easier to pay the extra dollars than deal with this lack of respect for the customer.
