Demera Ethiopian Restaurant Description:
Diners eager to try something exotic and who find too much silverware confusing will feel at home at Demera. Specializing in traditional Ethiopian cuisine, this cozy Uptown restaurant serves up a variety of meat and vegetable stews heady with unique spices. But forget about using a fork or spoon; instead injera---large, soft flatbread made out of fermented teff flour---is used to scoop up the flavorful dishes. Messy? A little bit. Fun? Definitely. Start off with crispy turnovers filled with beef, spinach, lentils or minced chicken. Beyond that, doro wot, a traditional dish of tender chicken drumsticks marinated in lemon and stewed in berbere sauce, is a good introduction to the flavors of Ethiopian cuisine. Combination platters, which include vegetable sides such as gomen (collard greens) and tikil gomen (cabbage and carrots), are a good bet as well. The menu features some 50 items, including lamb, beef, seafood, poultry and vegetable dishes. To drink: sip on Ethiopian coffee (roasted in-house) or tea.
