The Empress Taytu is the nearest Ethiopian restaurant to Akron and is located on Cleveland's near east side. The restaurant is designed to resemble a traditional Ethiopian village with thatched huts at low basket-style tables, called messobs. No silverware is set at the tables. Instead, guests "eat" with the homemade, spongy Injeri bread. The menu features North African beef, chicken, lamb, and vegetables cooked into stew-like casseroles. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians refrain from eating meat up to 200 days a year so there are alot of vegetable dishes.
