L.A.'s only all-vegan Ethiopian restaurant
Located in the Fairfax corridor below Olympic Blvd. commonly known as Little Ethiopia, Rahel is the only vegan Ethiopian restaurant in town. Street parking quasi-available, but that corridor is THE bottleneck during rush hour, so bear that in mind.
Accepts reservations only for parties of 5 or more.
Directions:
Major cross street N. is Olympic. Short drive up from the 10 Fwy.

I've eaten vegan at the other Ethiopian restaurants in Little Ethiopia, but wading through the menus can be daunting. At Rahel's, it's only a matter of deciding what looks good. No worries about compromised food.
The picture I uploaded from their site is slightly flattering, but it's pleasant enough, clean, and cheerful.
Rahel's injera is delicious, just the right amount of tanginess, and all the stews make me glad I finally got around to trying Ethiopian food last year.
FYI, no alcohol, in case you're interested in drinking with your meal. But they have some delicious-looking smoothies. I've only tried one, and it was pretty good. I'm not sure I want to spend that kind of money to have a smoothie with a filling dinner, but it's a great way to get fruit with your veggies!
