Addey Ababa is a family-run Ethiopian restaurant just off 181st Street where a long list of lentil, chickpea, and vegetable stews makes vegetarian eating feel central rather than secondary. Shared platters built around injera and meatless wots make it one of the most satisfying sit-down options for vegetarians in the zip code.
Must-Try Dishes: Vegetarian Combination Platter, Misir Wot (Spicy Red Lentils), Vegetable Sambusa

Insider tip: Order the vegetarian combo for the table and add an extra side of injera so everyone can sample each stew properly.
