Yesterday my family went to the Museum of the City of New York and then out to lunch for my dad's birthday. The restaurant is called Massawa, the food is from Ethiopia and Eritrea It is in New York City on Amsterdam Avenue between 120th Street and 121nd st. Just from the door way you can see about 7 paintings and the orange flowers on each table.(I can`t remember if they're real or not). There were two big baskets that looked like hats and they were filled with candy, and you can see there's one very busy waitress named Selam.
We ate some delish food. Eating at this restaurant is good practice for sharing because all the food comes on one plate.
One food is called Tebsi which is cubes of beef with tomatoes and berbere spice. Another food is alitcha- it is potatoes with collard greens and carrots. Also we ate tebsi hiwas. It has in it chicken with collard greens. Cablo is flavored white cabbage. The last food is tsebhi beghe. It is lamb in a thick berbere sauce. To pick up your food you use a spongy pancake made of sourdough. First you take the pancake and you tear off a piece. Then you tear off an even smaller piece and you use that to grab your food. Finally, comes my favorite part, you eat it.

For dessert we had mango mousse cake and coconut ice cream. The ice cream came in a real coconut shell.
So I hope you people will go there. It's a great place and its not that crowed. They serve great food here.
