Really good Ethiopian in Seattle! Lamb wot and lamb tibs are really good. If you're 3-4 people go with one of these and vegetarian combo.

Don't be fooled by the exterior, some of the best Ethiopian food you can find comes out of Cafe Selam's kitchen. Try the Dabo Firfir or Foul for breakfast, it's their specialty.

I always get the veg. combo. It's delicious and a great size for two people. The vibe here is really great.

Foul is available past noon on weekends. And Lindy West says it's probably the best in the city. She's right. Get it with injera and coffee.

Make sure to get here before noon to make sure you can order from the excellent breakfast menu.

First timer? Get the meat and veggie samplers (2 people), wash your hands then get dirty! Who doesn't love eating with their hands!?!

The best foul I've ever had, bar none. One of my favorite Seattle restaurants.

If you like heat, ask for their homemade jalapeño spread--it provides a mild kick

The foul (say "fool") for breakfast. Coffee roasted in-house.
