Las Vegas has no shortage of Ethiopian restaurants that are vegan-friendly. But, somehow this one slipped under our radar for more than a year. Nu Ethiopian Kitchen, located off of S. Decatur, offers a vegan Ethiopian menu much to our delight.
We’re huge fans of Ethiopian food, so discovering another vegan-friendly Ethiopian restaurant in Las Vegas makes us giddy. Add to the fact that there’s an actual vegan section in their menu and they understand vegan dining, and we’re over the moon.
Start your meal off with a lentil-filled sambosa. Served two per order, these pastry-filled and lightly fried snacks are perfect to hold you over for the main course.
Our favorite thing to order at any Ethiopian restaurant is the veggie platter because it’s pretty difficult to choose. The platter makes it easy — at Nu Ethiopian they give you six different Ethiopian vegan specialties atop injera, with more injera to eat/use with the dish.
However, if you prefer to narrow it down, Nu Kitchen has many vegan options.
The Ater is a slit pea stewed with onions, garlic and ginger in a special sauce. They also offer Miser, a spicy split red lentil stew in berbere sauce with onion, garlic and ginger; fresh collard greens sautéed with onions, garlic and ginger (Gomen); Tikel Gomen which is the same as Gomen, but instead of collard greens, its fresh sautéed cabbage with carrots and turmeric added; ground and simmered chickpeas in a house sauce; Keysir (steamed beets) and the Tomato Fit Fit featuring finely diced tomatoes, onions, peppers and garlic tossed in dressing.
Go forth and experience another vegan-friendly Ethiopian restaurant in Las Vegas.
