    Ethiopian eats on Governor's Island! Cute cafe with outdoor seating on a grassy field under lots of shade. The kids played some connect four while we waited for our food. Really loved their beef tips wrap! Extremely flavorful tender beef pieces with a creamy spicy sauce, the lettuce added a balancing cool texture. We also shared the beef tibs and chicken rice bowls.

    Great customer service. Can't go wrong with a wrap sandwich. Ambiance is great because you can seat down and the view of Statue of Liberty.

    Can I just take a minute and saw how amazing the mitmita fries are? They were perfectly seasoned and I am thinking about taking the ferry over again to eat them. That said, the wraps I heard were good & filling, and the two bowls we had with rice. I had the beef tibs and my husband the chicken -- if they can get injera made with just teff and not gluten, I'll switch to injera next time. And there will definitely be a next time! (It would also be cool if they sold other traditional dishes as I am a huge fan of food!)

    Half chicken and half beef bowl.
