Awash
947 Amsterdam Avenue
After wandering through the Arts of Africa gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Bernie and Heidi on this Friday night, it seemed appropriate to visit Awash, an Ethiopian restaurant on the UWS. A well-lit picture of Haile Selassie was positioned to have a watchful eye on the diners. This authentic neighborhood spot had all the trappings including servers in native garb. Spongy injera flatbread is used to scoop up a mouthful of the tasty food in this utensil-free environment. Colorful combination plates of meat and vegetables were served on a pizza tray blanketed with the flatbread. Extra injera on the side. A tasting and tactile explosion! The meal was fun, and the dining experience seemed adventuresome. Yet, all the dishes looked the same, and we left feeling as if we had experienced it all.
