The best Ethiopian food in New York, according to the experts: The New York Times, the James Beard Awards, and the Michelin Guide have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Hav & Mar comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
More Less
Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant and Ras Plant Based hold the next two places. The James Beard Awards show up on more of this list than any other guide, with the Michelin Guide next.

Rank 1. Hav & Mar
Ethiopian
The bread basket alone, a trio of lentil roti, oat porridge crisp, and teff biscuit, tells you exactly what Marcus Samuelsson and chef Fariyal Abdullahi are doing here. Hav & Mar is a minimalist seafood restaurant in Chelsea where Ethiopian and Swedish traditions fold into each other without apology or explanation. A James Beard Emerging Chef nominee in 2024, Abdullahi runs a room that feels personal rather than concept-driven.
