Introducing the Abol Ethiopian Restaurant in Durham, NC

After today's concert I felt in the mood for Ethiopian cuisine and guess what? A new Ethiopian restaurant has just opened in Durham. It's called the Abol Ethiopian Restaurant.

What can I say about this eatery other than -- it's absolutely fantastic. 

It has everything a good restaurant should have: high quality food (the kai wat was out of this world), attentive and professional service (with lots of smiles), a very comfortable and inviting ambiance, and an experience that leaves a lasting positive impression. 

Good food made with real Ethiopian ingredients. 

For example, their injera is made from 100 percent teff without any admixture of wheat. Bravo to them! The servers were very attentive and willing to chat, and the co-owner herself came out to greet her customers. 

Definitely 5 out of 5 stars. I will be back!
