Cafe, Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Ethiopian, Vegetarian
Edgewater’s ethnically diverse community is highlighted within the brightly colored walls of Ras Dashen Ethiopian Restaurant. Named after the tallest mountain in Ethiopia, Ras Dashen offers traditional Ethiopian food cooked with bold flavors and spiced to perfection. A typical meal includes the slightly tangy and spongy injera bread, which soaks up the fiery sauces that accompany a variety of meats. There are also plenty of delicious vegetarian options from which to choose. Pair the meal with a bottle of their homemade honey wine, which is addictively sweet and floral, and end the night with a cup of strong Ethiopian coffee.
