Our local Ethiopian spot, which is also our favorite restaurant, Mesob in Monctlair, NJ has started doing takeout!
Amazing food and interactive eating experience! There are no utensils so you take a rip of injera (spongy, slightly sour pancake-like bread made from Teff Flour) and scoop-up little tastes of everything at your table. (Family-style.) The best part is the bottom injera, which soaks up all the flavor and sauces from the items sitting on it. (The little bowls of lentils, chickpeas, etc are all scooped right onto the injera at your table.)
Ethiopian restaurants do offer meat options however, the lentil and bean dishes are all prepared vegan (without animal products), which is awesome for us!
Great food and awesome restaurant! Definitely more posts to come on Ethiopian food! Perhaps even a Christmas Eve meal for us!
