"Ras Plant Based is one of the only spots in the city specializing in plant-based Ethiopian food like tender mushroom tibs and meat-free dulet. From the flaky sambusas and spicy lentil salad to the huge platters of Ethiopian classics like kitfo made with pea protein, all of the dishes at this Crown Heights restaurant are memorable. Bring a date, or stop by for a casual weeknight meal. The colorful murals will make you feel like you're in a multisensory art exhibit." - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore
