While you may feel like a grown-up by taking your date out for a round of cocktails and sambusas (fried dumplings, $7) after a performance at the neighboring Boston Ballet, it's pretty hard to ignore that sexy Addis also appeals to the kid in each of us. The straw tables and low, stool-like chairs hark back to the days of childhood tea parties, and the simple fact that you can eat with your hands can turn even the most mature college student into a grinning gradeschooler. The delicious dishes—a large variety of meat, fish, and vegetarian entrees—are served with generous amounts of fluffy, white injera, a spongy crepe-like bread that doubles as your utensil. The combination plates (starting at $15) are the perfect way to try different entrees, but most options are already a steal at $7-11. After the sweet honey wine ($5/glass, $20/bottle), sober up with a cup of after-dinner coffee—you won't find a better caffe mocha anywhere else. Reservations accepted for 5 or more, otherwise expect a wait on weekends.
Established in 1988.
