Ethiopian fare is a great excuse to get hands-on with your food – scoop up an array of flavorful wots with torn-off hunks of the slightly sour, delightfully spongy injera. The aromatic spices alone will be enough to tempt a reach across the table. (Good thing it’s family-style.) Definitely order the lentil sambusas and doro tibs.
