About this spot
Ethiopian Diamond on Devon Avenue serves towering injera breads that are slightly sour and fermented, perfect for scooping up spicy doro wat chicken stew. The restaurant buzzes with the rhythmic sound of traditional kora music while locals gather to share communal meals from large platters.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a full round of injera first as it acts as both plate and utensil for the entire meal.
- Ask your server to bring multiple small portions of wat so you can sample different stews like shiro and misir wot before committing to a large platter.
- Bring cash only, as this neighborhood staple often does not accept credit cards or digital payments.
