Tana Grocery

Another Havana Street sensation, this Ethiopian grocery stands out in a primarily Korean strip-​mall — but not just for obvious reasons!
The coolers by the door proudly display tall bottles of Ambo, the famed mineral water of Ethiopia, and tasty mango and guava nectars (once I even saw the Nicaraguan soda called Milca Roja in there — talk about cross-​pollination!).
Go further back and you’ll be bowled over by the sweet smell of incense in many, many varieties. You can also buy those breads that everyone is talking about — crusty Ambasha and tangy Injera.
Around the corner there are rows of neatly-​stacked spices — from the hot-​cha-​cha blend called Berbere to more singular quantities of Bessobela (sacred basil), Korerima (cardamom), and Telba (flax seed).
And so much more. So stop by, won’t you? Then, you can go next door, and have a filling, hearty Ethiopian meal at Addis Ababa Restaurant!
