ETHIOPIAN COTTAGE RESTAURANT

1824 N. Farwell Ave., 414-224-5226. Ethiopian The emphasis on eating without utensils draws attention to the textures and flavors of the meat and vegetarian stews served directly on a thin, spongy pancake. Pop for the chicken doro wat – a spicy chicken stew with hard-boiled egg. Group of four or more diners? Even better. Bond over beef tibs. $$
