Vegan Ethiopian Plates Beneath a Crown Heights Mural
A shared platter of vegan stews arrives on tangy flatbread inside a plant-draped Brooklyn dining room.
🌿 Injera Meant for Sharing
Ras Plant Based turns Ethiopian home cooking entirely vegan, and the room makes its case before the food arrives. A bright mural runs the length of one wall, pothos spills from rattan pendant lamps, and wishbone chairs catch the daylight off Franklin Avenue.
Each combo lands on one wide round of injera, the tangy fermented flatbread that works as plate, bread, and utensil at once, layered with spiced stews you scoop by hand. Expect smoky tomato and onion simmers, tender collard greens, and split peas that lean earthy and warm. Sambusa arrive golden and crisp with a green herb dip, and the kitchen also sends out a pretzel-bun burger and a mint-heavy cooler for anyone easing into the cuisine.
A 4.8 rating across nearly 1,400 diners has made this Crown Heights dining room a steady anchor for plant-based eating in Brooklyn. Arrive hungry, share widely, and let the platter set the pace.
