Ethiopian cooking that happens to be entirely vegan — injera made in-house on Franklin Avenue
Ras Plant Based makes the point that Ethiopian food's vegetarian tradition is not a compromise — the fasting menu has been central to the cuisine for centuries. The combination platter arrives as a spread of stews on injera, and the injera here is fermented and cooked in-house, which is not universal and makes a real difference in both texture and sourness. The shiro is thick and properly spiced. The Franklin Avenue room is small and warm. It works equally well for people seeking out vegan food and for people who simply want good Ethiopian cooking and do not care about the framing.
