Check out Dallas' Ethiopian Restaurant Scene
Celebrate Ethiopian New Year with a new dining experience.
Sept. 11 is Ethiopian New Year! Fun fact: unlike the rest of the world, Ethiopia has a unique calendar that considers September the first of the year. The date also marks the approximate end of the rainy season and the start of sunny days ahead – which further explains (among other reasons) why Ethiopians believe the New Year should be celebrated in September.
We're celebrating Ethiopian New Year by highlighting Dallas' Ethiopian restaurant scene! Check out our list of suggestions for your next dining adventure in the city.
