Thank you! Fri Apr 03 01:34:09 -0700 2009 192105 chau 1 4565643 Nothing in Tustin or Irvine that I know of... Tana Ethiopian Cuisine in Anaheim, on La Palma is very tasty; the alternative is the not-always-open-when-they-say-they-will-be Merhaba Eritrean Restaurant on Ball and Dale.

We had the smaller vegetarian combination (the typical veg combo that every Ethiopian place has). I think that the vegetarian food at Tana is better than any of the places on Fairfax that I've been (Rahel, Messob, Rosalind's). (While no expert in Ethiopian, I did live in DC for three years and have a bit of experience with good Ethiopian.) I was concerned with the location -- how is this place going to make it HERE? -- but there is apparently some kind of East African community in the area as a number of Africans came in while we were there to pick up take out orders. Plus there's a Kenyan restaurant in the same strip mall and what looks like an African clothing store in between. Das Ubergeek (or others): Any knowledge about the Kenyan place? Is it open yet?

I tried it and i would say it is good. I enjoyed the Obama meal which is fried fish on a bed of sauces and collard green or cabbage on the side. I also liked their bread called chapati.
