“I would say Hav & Mar for sure. After organizing a group dinner there last February, multiple guests of ours have gone back independently because they loved it so much (one couple even returned for their anniversary). The bread basket, Addis York, Havatini, lamb meatballs -- all exquisite.”

“Hav & Mar is terrible outside of the drinks. For being a Swedish and Ethiopian spot, the spices are more on the Swedish end (i.e. nonexistent) outside of the doro wat.”
