Awash Among Three Brooklyn Dinner Formats
A guide to Awash Ethiopian Restaurant, Clover Club, and Traif for comparing stews, cocktails, and a tasting menu.
Three Brooklyn Dinner Stops
Ethiopian Dinner on Court
Awash presents a range of Ethiopian stews across its menu. Vegan choices broaden the selection, while gluten free injera supports diners who avoid gluten. At its core, Ethiopian stews meet injera in the dining experience. Honey wine provides a separate Ethiopian drink option. These choices add flexibility across the menu. Service is suited to smaller groups. Monday through Friday hours run from 4 PM to 9 PM. Weekend hours run from 1 PM to 9 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
Weekend Music at Clover Club
Classic and contemporary cocktails anchor the menu at Clover Club, framed by a vintage interior. Frites, dips, and deviled eggs add a savory bar food selection beside the drinks. Cocktail service unfolds amid loud conversation in the room. Entry is free. Hours run from 4 PM to midnight Monday through Thursday, from 4 PM to 1 AM Friday, from noon to 1 AM Saturday, and from noon to midnight Sunday. The schedule includes daytime opening on both weekend days.
Course by Course Dining
Traif identifies Jason Marcus as chef and co owner, alongside co owner Heather. Its tasting menu centers on pork and shellfish, with ribs meeting scallop risotto among the listed dishes. Two desserts and wine pairings are also part of the experience. The registered price is 69 dollars for the tasting menu. Dinner service runs from 5 PM to 10 PM every day. The format presents savory plates, sweets, and paired pours through a single tasting menu.
