Flavors from Afar is a unique dining experience that features a rotating menu of international cuisine, with dishes from different countries showcased each month. The restaurant partners with immigrant chefs to highlight their cultural dishes, providing both opportunity and exposure for the chefs and customers. The menu includes options such as Fijian food, Haitian food, Somalian, Egyptian, and Kenyan dishes.
The restaurant is located in Little Ethiopia and has a simple and chill atmosphere. The service is excellent, with knowledgeable staff who describe the dishes and their preparation. The pita chips with Baba ghanoush are a must-try, with their unique combination of crunchy and chewy textures. The lamb stew is also a standout, served with rice and a flavorful, well-spiced sauce.
In addition to the delicious food, the restaurant also allows for a la carte ordering of items like sambusas, unlike other restaurants that require them to be ordered in batches. The restaurant is also accommodating to large parties and offers the option to split checks. Overall, Flavors from Afar is a great place to try new and unique dishes while supporting chefs from around the world.
