 One of the mainstays of a distinctive restaurant row on a stretch of Fairfax dubbed Little Ethiopia, Nyala provides an excellent introduction to the aromatic, warmly-spiced home-style cooking of this East African nation. It's a hands-on cuisine centered around meat and vegetarian stews scooped up by pieces of injera, a spongy, crêpe-like bread that is central to the experience. Great for groups, this is a fun place to forgo the utensils and explore items such as doro wot (garlic- and ginger-scented chicken, marinated in lemon and sautéed in spiced butter with red pepper sauce), yebeg yebere wot (red wine-marinated lamb or beef in a fiery barbecue sauce), and yemiser wot (a pungent red lentil stew). Consider pairing it up with an Ethiopian wine. The dimly-lit room, bathed in the sounds of Ethiopian music, boasts African art and images of antelopes streaking across the walls.
