Tana Ethiopian Restaurant and Market

We enjoyed our lunch here, I had the large Veggie Platter special (the larger of the two combos) since I wanted to try everything and couldn't decide. It was delicious but unfortunately I do prefer the Ethiopian places in LA. The injera (sourdough crepe) was cold like it had been in a fridge, so it didn't seem fresh, whereas the LA restaurants have them made on the premises.
Flavorwise, not as deep as the LA ones either. Tasty, but mild in spice and flavor. They day we went they seemed short staffed as well and not ready for us so we may have gotten there too early? We were the second table of customers and it took them a while to come by, etc. When we left, there were more people coming in, so that's a good sign, and I hope they did better later. While this place was good, and we were in the mood for Ethiopian food, we'd come again only if in the area.

Really enjoyed the place. Very tasty food, good service/portion, great value, with very simple decor. If this place was transported to Laguna Beach and the decor spruced up to make it more exotic, they can easily triple the price. Authentic because of the many Ethiopians we saw there. Because Ethiopian good is eaten by hand, the wife was shocked that the server also only used her hands when putting the neighboring customers'leftovers in the box. Will consider asking them to not put the food on the injera/bread because it does get a bit oily and soggy. We don't want to waste any food by not eating the bread.

The Vegetarian special dish is a feast and is all vegan. Tasty food and friendly staff. Nice not to have to drive to LA for good Ethiopian food.

So I've never had Ethiopian food until I came here but I was not disappointed. There are veg options and the food comes in big portions. The restaurant has a groovy, cozy atmosphere and it's a great place for getting together with family. And my adopted cousin who is from Ethiopia went here too and he loves it, so I think it's pretty authentic.
