Kereje Ethiopian Restaurant

The restaurant is an intimate space with Western-style booths made private (and romantic) with the bead strings along the perimeter of the dining room. In the center, traditional woven basket tables and stools are replaced with more Western seating. Fortunately, one thing retains authenticity. Utensils are eschewed. Diners eat by picking up food with spongy injera bread. The menu is short, emphasizing classic Ethiopian dishes like kifto, raw (or lightly sautéed) beef. Kereje is an oft-overlooked family-owned restaurant among the handful of Ethiopian eateries in Dallas. It might not help that it?s located in a dilapidated shopping center and below street level. Perhaps that is why a certain local celebrity chef stated Dallas doesn't have any Ethiopian restaurants.
