There's nothing like eating Ethiopian food. It really is an experience. You get injera bread spread out before you and you eat with your hands, no utensils whatsoever. I got the shro wat, which is a spicy chicka pea dish. I find that Meskerem is a good restaurant, and I'll always enjoy Ethiopian food no matter where I go, but I prefer going to Ghenet in Brooklyn. The food is a little better, and there are not as many options for sharing dishes at Meskerem. Sharing is what truly makes the experience fun.

- shro wat: good, but not the best ($9)
