Ethiopian Restaurant

For our friend Jaime’s birthday awhile back, we went with a bunch of people to an Ethiopian restaurant—it was fantastic! Basically we all just sat around these handcrafted basket like tables, and ate off of them… you eat with your hands, taking a piece of a rice tortilla-like bread, and picking up various foods—spinach, potatoes, lamb (spicy and non-spicey), cheese, chickpeas, cabbage, etc. All of the foods are spiced quite nicely. It’s one of our favorite meals as a family because we all LOVE it (surprisingly Asante included). Anyway, it was a really fun dinner- great food and great company.

Does anyone know of a good Ethiopian restaurant around Columbia or St. Louis?

You're talking about injera and shiro....YUM!! There is an Ethiopian restaurant in St. Louis, but I haven't been to it. I have a friend from Ethiopia that just moved to KC and he recently made some for me, so I am sure you could join me in going to see him.
