Dahlak

Ethiopian$-$$

This longstanding Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant is every bit a fixture of West Philly as punk, porches and Clark Park. That’s partly because of Dahlak’s menu full of hearty stews served on a continent of springy injera bread. But the cozy vibes continue on the patio out back, ideal for fair weather sips, and the busy bar and performance space upstairs.
