This weekend I went to Ras Dashen Ethiopian Restaurant in the north side Edgewater neighborhood. Ethiopian food is beginning to become some of my favorite African cuisine. This past summer, I checked out Demera Ethiopian Restaurant, also on the north side. I visited Ras Dashen in 2014, my first time trying Ethiopian food. My boyfriend and I decided to check it out again since we were in the mood for Ethiopian cuisine.
Ras Dashen is owned by chef Zenash Beyene, a Beta Israel (Ethiopian Hebrew) native of Belese, Ethiopia. It is co-owned by her husband Kevin Swier. The restaurant is named after the Ras Dashen mountains, close to Beyene's hometown and the highest mountains in Ethiopia. In March 2001, Beyene opened the restaurant with the motto "Comfort Food from the Mountains of Ras Dashen". Ever since then, the establishment has been one of the most popular of Ethiopian dining in the city of Chicago.
