Mudai Ethiopian Restaurant, Portland

Obviously a family-owned restaurant, the food is GREAT! I'm a vegetarian, but my carnivorous friends agree. I can't get back to Mudai enough. The lentils are always perfectly spiced, the injera ia always moist & never stale, even at the edges. Service is better than at most ethiopian joints - ethiopian restaurants are for relaxing for hours; it;s usually not a good idea to go to one when you've got a show to catch in an hour. But here, they tend to let you set the pace. The decor could be better, but the food is what keeps me going back.
