ASMARA RESTAURANT 739 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge
The first visit can be intimidating, and you need a guide. The waitress will bring you a platter of food so large you wonder how you are going to finish it, with saucy dishes poured over layers of injera. You tear off a piece of injera - a thick fluffy crepe with a sourdough flavor that soaks up sauces - loading it up with a layer of beef and a s...mattering of lentils with your hands before eating it.
If you cannot decide what to order, there’s a meat combination that offers a sample of chicken, lamb, beef, and two vegetable dishes; and a vegetable combination with five different dishes. For adventurous diners, there is kitfo a traditional specialty of slightly cooked ground beef that resembles steak tartare, best enjoyed by those who like raw meat. Or dine on stuffed green peppers which are so hot that everything else tastes bland by contrast.
