You know an ethnic restaurant is good when its tables are filled with natives. When it comes to Ethiopian food, Awash in New York’s Upper West Side is something of a gold standard. This small and busy eatery near Columbia University offers affordable, large portions of classic dishes like kitfo (raw beef in a chili-based spice blend and seasoned, clarified butter) and doro wat (tender chicken gently simmered in berbere sauce.)
