Patrick Menard: The steak tip dinner... that's all you need. And if you like plaintains, ask to substitute the salad with plaintains (green or sweet)! Also you gotta get a Jamaican beef pattie! It's got a kick to it.
Emmie Ramsden: I love the black beans and yellow rice, fried shrimp, fried plantains, cassava with garlic, chicken and cheese patties, fried pork. The stewed beef and steak tips are tender and delicious.
Elias Tapley: The goat: succulent, falling off the bone, with salty plantains (instead of salad) on the side.

BU Today: Asmara was Boston's first Ethiopian restaurant. For a unique experience, try the zihla: cubes of raw tenderloin beef tips lightly fermented in pepper paste and served with spiced butter. Read more.
