There's a sign announcing an Ethiopian restaurant opening on Irvington Ave (across from the Getty station). I can think of a lot of cuisines SO lacks... is there enough demand in town to support two Ethiopian places?

I would like to try it. We do have a lot of eating places, true. But perhaps research was done and there was enough interest to support Ethopian cuisine.

I lived in South Orange for 8 years--now in PA. I'm an ethnic cuisine lover/junkie...and I adore Ethiopian. I often made trips to the city to a place called Meskerem to get my fix. I'm jealous.

Cool. That's near me.

I wish them luck, restaurants haven't been faring too well on that stretch of road of late.

Ethiopian food is spicy and awesome. If you like Thai or Vietnamese, you'll probably like Ethiopian as well. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

The other Ethiopian restaurant is Harrar, which recently opened on Village Plaze, across from Antonella's (where It's a Wrap was).

ril,

FYI... It's a Wrap is still there. Harrar is located where "Sweet Concessions" was located.

srg, I HAVE tried it, thank you very much and I don't care much for it, though I love most other ethnic cuisines. My point is, do we need TWO NEW Ethiopian places when we're missing some other good ethnic options???
