[food] Addis Abeba

3521 North Clark Street

Once you make the tasteless jokes about eating at an Ethiopian restaurant (i.e., "I didn't think they would serve food at an Ethiopian restaurant") and get down to the meal itself, this place is pretty damn good. It's definitely starting to grow on me. The entrees are served in this one big round plate, and in lieu of utensils, there is a spongy, almost tortilla-like bread that you use to pick up your food. Sharing entrees is pretty much a given, and if you order the combination plates, you can cover a lot of territory. Haven't tried the hot dishes just yet, but I probably will next time.
