Asmara

Asmara serves Eritrean food on Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square, with homemade honey wine and a menu that accommodates different appetites for heat. Beef tibsy comes with onions, peppers, garlic and chilies, while lamb and chicken are also offered in milder sauces. The vegetable combination brings together cabbage, split peas, spinach, chickpeas, lentils and tomato salad, making a meat-free dinner easy to assemble. If you want a broader sample, the meat combination includes chicken, lamb and beef alongside vegetables. Injera appears in fitfit dishes, where pieces of the bread soak up the sauce. Takeout and delivery are available, though sharing several dishes gives you a reason to sit down together.
