This was our second experience with Ethiopian Food, and it was even better than the first (at Queen of Sheba). Beginning with ambiance, Ras Dashen's walls are decorated with interesting Ethiopian paintings, and pleasant Ethiopian folk music plays in the background. There are 4 or 5 'special' tables made of a large wicker basket which has a large metal round top to hold the serving platter. Around the table you lounge in cushioned wicker seats. We ordered the Dinner for 2 for $29.95 which included 3 sides and 3 entrees from which we picked: Dora Wat - chicken and egg cooked in spicy berbere sauce - tasty; Yebeg tibs -- Lamb in a spicy sauce of onions, garlic and rosemary -- Excellent; and, Sega Wat - beef in fiery berbere sauce - really delicious. Our sides were a yellow pea mixture, a kale collard and mustard green mix, and green beans with zuchini potatoes and carrots. All of the above were served on the traditional bed of injera - a spongy bread used in place of eating utensils to pick up and eat with all of the food. Additional Injera is also served separately. We absolutely loved each and every entree and side -- our only minor criticism of the food being the chicken was on the bone so there was less chicken to eat than we would have liked. Service was also delightful. Our only other criticism is that it is not really Inexpensive as one would imagine, in part due to it not being BYOB. (Meal with wine cost about $65). Otherwise highly recommended.

A newish restaurant on what is becoming an Ethiopian restaurant row, Ras Dashen is my choice. Being surrounded by the Chgo Ethio community says its an authentic experience; the tasting itself tells the rest. Personal favorites are dereq tibs then messer and other "salata" (a rosemary lamb dish, then lentils and other very fresh tastes). Range of palates is from hot and spicy and meat-laden, to mild and veg'n, range of prices from unbelievable to inexpensive. No complaints, except they might do with a bigger place. (Call ahead if you have a big group; in fairness, they do have a pvt room.)
