About

Semhar serves Eritrean-Ethiopian dishes, with a vegetarian platter that reviewers say can be made vegan by asking the staff to leave out the cheese. Meals are shared over injera, and diners praise its fluffy texture, warm interior, and attentive host; one review notes the injera is made with a blend of flours rather than 100% teff.
