Share a Vegetarian Injera Platter on the Upper West Side
Tear spongy injera into slow-cooked lentils, greens, and tibs under hanging lanterns and string lights.
🍽️ Everything on One Sheet
Awash keeps the Upper West Side in injera, and the room leans warm and low key, with white cloth tables, wishbone chairs, and paper lanterns strung with fairy lights. Order the vegetarian sampler and a wide sheet of spongy injera arrives crowded with mounds, misir wot in deep red, golden split peas, garlicky collard greens, beets, and a fresh chopped salad.
Meat eaters build a plate around tibs, cubes of beef or chicken sautéed with onion and jalapeño, piled straight onto the bread. There are no forks here, you scoop everything by hand, tearing off injera and pinching up stew until the platter underneath is the last thing you finish. Portions run generous and prices stay reasonable, and regulars tend to linger. Bring a friend, take your time, and let the kitchen send out one shared plate after another.
