    The Ethiopian coffee service, brought to the table with ceremony, is a good sign you're in a homestyle Ethiopian restaurant that takes its cues seriously. The family team runs a warm, unfussy room in Miami Gardens, turning out doro wat and shiro on a spread of sour injera. The New York Times put it on their Miami list, which feels right for a place that quietly fills a gap the size of Miami-Dade County.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Taste of Awash

      “Start with crispy meat or lentil sambusas and head right toward the Taste of Awash, a bright mandala of flavors that includes meat dishes like a rich chicken doro wat and a vegetarian shiro.”

      “a bright mandala of flavors that includes meat dishes like a rich chicken doro wat and a vegetarian shiro”

    • Chocolate cake

      “Pair it with — somewhat unexpectedly — the Matilda-rich chocolate cake, a decadent wedge of self-care, made daily.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
