Rahel Ethiopian Vegan Cuisine

Rahel's is Little Ethiopia's sole vegan restaurant. Owner Rahel Woldmedhin was the original founder of nearby Messob before opening her vegan eatery, which eschews imitation meat and instead focuses on vegetable-rich stews accompanied by injera. In addition to Yemisir Kik Wot (split lentil stew), Yeshiro Alicha (mild chick pea stew) and Yedinch Wot (potatoes stew), there's a nice selection of combination dishes that bring diners' favorites sides together. The best way to end the meal is with Rahel's vegan cheese cake—and perhaps a special Ethiopian juice, like telba (made from flax seed) or besso (made from barley).
