"Franklin Avenue’s crowded restaurant scene received an exciting new addition earlier this year with Ras, where plants don’t just line all of the restaurant’s walls but also make up most of the menu. Vegan versions of popular Ethiopian dishes, like tibs and kitfo, are made here using marinated mushrooms, tofu, seitan, and crumbled peas to dazzling effect. The Crown Heights newcomer comes from the team behind the popular Awash Ethiopian Restaurant in Cobble Hill, which also has locations in the East Village and Manhattan Valley. Ras Plant Based is open for takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining from Monday through Saturday, 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Closed Sundays." - Eater Staff
