Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant & Bar

Run by legendary Chef Almaz Yigizaw, this brightly decorated Edgewater venue delivers an exceptional, interactive Ethiopian feast. Diners share massive communal platters lined with spongy injera bread and savory heaps of doro wat (spiced chicken stew). The attached bar section features live music, traditional coffee ceremonies, and great weekend evening drinks — widely celebrated as one of the most culturally engaging, welcoming date-night spots on the far North Side.
