2 reviews for Shewit Eritrean Restaurant
We happened to go when there was a neighborhood power outage, on a very hot day. It was sort of dark and mostly empty except for a group of employees and friends chatting up a storm near the back wall. One person was sound asleep on a table near the front.
When we sat down, and they verified that we wanted to eat, they had one menu for us to review. The menu contained a small selection of mostly meat based dishes, plus one vegetarian plate. We ordered a spicy chicken plate and a vegetarian plate.
So far, you might think that we wouldn't review this place well - but in fact the food made up for the other weirdness, by far. My spicy chicken plate was full of flavor, hearty and delicious. The vegetarian plate had 5 different lentil, bean and greens based options that were all distinct and interesting. I'll definitely be returning.
Good food! Portions are large and relatively inexpensive. I had the veggie combo plate which contained two types of lentils--both yummy, greens, a small tossed salad, and cabbage and carrots. I loved the cabbage. The lentils were my second favorite. All of this is served on a large piece of injera (with extra injera as well). We also ordered a chicken dish that had a nice spicy sauce and was also served on injera. You get a much larger portion of chicken here than, say, at Enat (Ethiopian). The people who work at Shewit are also friendly. The place is located in a run-down strip mall and the atmosphere is bland and run-down. Eritrean videos sometimes place on the big screen TV. Accept the atmosphere and enjoy the food.
