The restaurant, cozy by Brooklyn standards, avoids kitschy ethnic-restaurant pitfalls, encasing the space in intricately stamped metal sheets, partitioning the warmly lit dining room with pillow-strewn benches from a small bar area. Start your meal with a strong glass of tej, a native honey wine similar to mead, or a complex Ethiopian beer instead of the saccharine house cocktails.-Jeff Harris
