Halal Eritrean injera platters - communal eating by hand that Gulf families take to instantly.
City guideRoxbury
Overview & visitor information
Eritrean dining is built for families who eat together: a vast round of spongy injera bread arrives layered with spiced stews - berbere-red chicken, lamb, lentils, collards - and everyone tears, scoops, and shares by hand. Asmara serves this halal in Roxbury per Boston halal guides (an earlier Asmara also operated in Cambridge; confirm the current location before traveling). Flavors are warm rather than punishing, and children usually love the hands-on format. Vegetarian combinations are a strength for mixed groups. Order one combo platter per two to three people; it stretches further than it looks.
