Best New African
Addis Abeba
Other nominees: African Harambee, Demera, Masala Yangu, Yassa
“Pass the Purell, it’s dinner time.” Our readers love to get their hands dirty at Addis Abeba. This Ethiopian gem—which relocated to Evanston after 15 years in Wrigleyville—offers a delightfully intimate dining experience. Communal to the core, the restaurant serves entire parties off the same oversized platter, each stewlike entrée oozing into the next. Eschewing cutlery in favor of spongy injera bread for scooping up morsels preserves authenticity—as does the menu, which features dishes inherited from the owner’s mother. Wash down the pudgy, lentil-stuffed sambosas, yellow split peas sauteed with mushrooms and cardamom-seasoned tartar with delicate honey wine. 1322 Chicago Ave, Evanston, 847-328-5411.

Same comment as another article. 20 pages (or more) shows total disrespect for site visitors. I was about to recommend this site to some discussion groups I am on but it is not going to happen now. What are you folks thinking?
Naha is so expensive! I went there and could not believe how expensive both the food and wine were!
Gee, can you make it any more difficult to view your webpage? I won't be back.
