Vegan-friendly Ethiopian food
This is a pretty standard Ethiopian place: you order several appetizers and several entrees for a group, and then these are served on top of injera, a sourdough flatbread. Choose between normal tables and more traditional Ethiopian tables.
Most Ethiopian restaurants are pretty vegan-friendly, but this one goes out of its way to mark items as vegan or non-vegan on the menu.
Also serves Ethiopian coffee.

This place has really good food, and you don't have to think about what is and isn't vegan.




This place has the best Ethiopian food in Chicago, by far. The staff is very friendly and they're even careful to separate vegan and non-vegan food if you ask them (normally Ethiopian food is all served on one large piece of injera bread, so there is an unfortunate tendency for meat and vegetable dishes to run together).
