About

Gwada serves Ethiopian dishes in four- or six-item platters with injera; reviewers single out the missir wot, mushroom wot and fresh sambusas. It’s a small, family-run spot with an open kitchen and lively music, and the menu is vegetarian with many vegan mains but some non-vegan desserts, so specify vegan when ordering.
