Restaurant Review Friday- Aster’s Ethiopian Restaurant

3rd September, 2010 - Posted by katherine - 1 Comment

Last week I was able to revisit Aster’s Ethiopian Restaurant, which is located right off of 35 (west side of highway) near Manor. They have a lot of really great vegetarian options, and the employees are always really friendly. If you’ve never eaten Ethiopian food before, it’s a fun experience you should check out – the food is served on a dish of spongy, slightly sour bread called injera, and you use the bread to scoop up all the food.

I had the fasolia wott, which the menu describes as “potato, green beans, carrots, onions, tomatoe sauce with cinnamon, garlic, and ginger sauce. It came with three side dishes so I picked the bedergan (“Eggplant spiced and prepared with tomatoes sauce, garlic, onions, and special Ethiopian seasoning”), alicha miser (“Split lentil cooked to perfection with ginger and garlic”), and gomen (“Ethiopian style collard greens cooked with onion, garlic, and spices”).

here's a picture of my food with my husband's

For $10.95, it was a good deal for how much food I was served – they also have a great all you can eat lunch buffet for $9.99 which is also really good, although you will be in a food coma for the rest of the afternoon at work if you check it out.
