Best Comment Of The Day: Looking Forward To Trying 'Awash'

Reader Timothy has left the following comment on the post "Awash, Court Street's New Ethiopian Restaurant To Open On Tuesday":

Fantastic! South Brooklyn has very few Ethiopian restaurants - in fact, the only one I can think of is Ghenet on 4th Ave.We're were a bit saddened that Quercy couldn't make it since it had been around for nearly 10 years, however we weren't frequent visitors and found ourselves going to Watty and Meg when we wanted something nicer than the usual.We're definitely looking forward to trying Awash and hope it becomes a destination restaurant for us.

Has anyone tried Awash yet?

Get ready for AWASH at 242 Court Street.  According to a sign in the window, the new Ethiopian restaurant in Cobble Hill will be opening its doors this Tuesday, May 22nd at 5 PM.
Amidst all the Thai and Hamburger joints in the neighborhood, this will be a nice addition.

Here are some of the items on the menu:
*Yetimatim Fitfit: tomatoes, hot green peppers and onions mixed with injera and seasoned with lemon and olive oil.
*Gifilfil: beef strips sauteed in berbere (hot sauce) and mixed with injera.
*Yebeg Wat: succulent lamb stew seasoned in hearty berbere sauce.
*Doro Alicha: chicken cooked in kibbe ethiopian butter, onions and green peppers.
*Yatakilt Alicha: cabbage, carrots and potatoes delicately sauteed with peppers, onions and garlic.

The menu also features combination platters and vegetarian options.

The prices seem reasonable.  Appetizers range from $6 to $7.50,  main dishes range from $12 to $17
