Meals by Genet

In City of Gold, Genet Agonafer credits LA Times restaurant critic Jonathan Gold for saving her restaurant's post-9/11 slump. But the Goldster isn't the only thing keeping this Little Ethiopia restaurant afloat—it's Agonafer's outstanding cooking that make repeat customers out of first-timers. At the inviting restaurant on Fairfax, a plate of Doro Wot inspires diners to furiously scoop up spicy chicken in stewed red peppers, or tofu tibs sauteed in onions and green chiles. For those with a gluten allergy, gluten-free injera is availabel for $4 a piece. Order an Ethiopian beer or honey wine to wash it all down
