      Ethiopian restaurants here serve similar food. Since it's your first time, get the meat and veggie combo/sampler. Make sure it includes shiro and tibs of some kind.

        ugh...i know a few people who like ghenet but i think its a filthy excuse for ethiopian food...i saw my flies near my table, i had to complain.

        the only ethiopian i eat is in LA or DC so im not much help with a NYC alternative but ghenet is not great...try meskerem (sp?)...people like that one.

          Thing is I live a block from there and in 6 years have only gotten take out once. And I dont know anything about Ethiopians.

            Agree. The meal was yucky. Maybe I just don't like Ethiopian food.
