Dear Highland Park neighbors, Jean and I had dinner last Sunday at Tana, the new Ethiopian restaurant in East Liberty, and recommend it highly. With its special herbal sauces, we found it cuts above similar restaurants. It is located just around the corner from the East Liberty Library. I asked the proprietor, Seifu Haileyesus, for a description. He wrote: Tana Ethiopian Cuisine, located at 5929 Baum Blvd., is a family owned restaurant that offers authentic Ethiopian cuisine. The hours of operation are Tuesday - Sunday. Lunch 11:00a.m.-2:30p.m.Dinner 5:00p.m.-11:00p.m. On Saturday during lunch, there is a complementary Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony. Happy hour is Tuesday -Friday 5:00p.m.-7:00p.m. with $4.00 Martini specials. Tana has a full bar and also offers Tej (Ethiopian Honey Wine), the only place in town that offers it. This coming Sunday Tana will have a Mother's Day special menu complete with the coffee ceremony. This and other restaurants--Red Room, Abaye, Royal Caribbean--are an essential part of the amazing renaissance of East Liberty, something we in Highland Park should support to keep them flourishing.
