- Ethiopian fare, including rich stews, injera bread & vegan options served in warm surroundings.
Founded by James Beard Award semi-finalist Milka and her husband Romeo, this bold reimagining of Ethiopian cuisine celebrates complex, authentic flavors elevated through unexpected plant-based twists, from injera nachos to vegan mac and cheese and soft injera bread that earns consistent praise. The intimate, warmly-lit space pairs impeccable spice balance and vibrant, fresh dishes with exceptional hospitality—attentive servers and a present owner who embody the restaurant's mission of radical kindness and meaningful connection over every meal.
Reviewers consistently praise RAS Plant Based for its authentic Ethiopian flavors and carefully seasoned dishes, with specific mentions of the soft injera, flavorful lentils, mercato platter, injera nachos, and plant-based options like the vegan mac and cheese and plant-based French toast. Multiple guests highlight the attentive and knowledgeable service from staff members including servers Ingrid and Crystal, combined with the restaurant's warm, intimate atmosphere with dim lighting and beautiful artwork. While universally positive, reviewers note the restaurant is frequently crowded, though the team handles the volume effectively.
