Fasika

Fasika
I know that it’s been a long time since I’ve posted. Damn laziness…
Anyway, today’s post is about Fasika. I really like this place, but most comments that I read on chowhound give it not so good marks. I don’t get it… And, I find that many like Addis Red Sea for Ethiopian food. I find Addis Red Sea to be pretty bland (and quite a bit more expensive) when compared to Fasika.
Anyway, 3 of us went with a restaurant.com coupon. We ate a lot, drank a bit, left a very good tip, and spent about $16 each.
Our favorite dishes were the Ayeb Be-Gomen (homemade cottage cheese w/ collared greens, herbs, & spices), Kitfo (raw minced beef in spices), Ye-Beg Alicha (cubed lamb in a turmeric sauce), & Doro Wot (chicken in a berbere sauce). All the vegetable dishes were enjoyable, but, on that day, the lamb and chicken really stood out.
