Empress Taytu Ethiopian Restaurant

6m 11s

We stop by a restaurant on the east side of Cleveland where dining is a cultural experience inspired by one of the oldest civilizations on Earth, and where patrons are encouraged to break bread together in a communal setting - eating from a common plate using their hands. The place is The Empress Taytu Restaurant, where ideastream's Lauren Wilson stopped by and was greeted with open arms.
