The Friday PI had a short article in the 'cheap eats' section about Fasica Ethiopian Restarant, so we decided to head to Colubmia City to try it (it's at the intersection of Rainier Ave S and S. Edmunds street). Very casual, seat yourself, with most of the other customers speaking what I assume was Amharic. They have Soukous music on weekends, but it hadn't started yet when we were there. We tried the combination plate, a mixture of vegetable dishes and various meats (lamb, beef, chicken), similar to what we've had at other Ethiopian places. The chicken and lamb were excellent, the beef a little tougher than I like but still good. The vegetables were also good, I especially liked the red lentils. Fasica definitely gets my vote. The only other Ethiopian place in Seattle we've tried is Kokeb, and between the two I definitely prefer Fasica. The food was spicier and I enjoyed the flavor quite a bit more. In addition to great food, Fasica is also quite cheap. The combination plate (plenty of food for two people) and two non- alcoholic drinks came to $12.
Seattle, WA
Ethiopian Food - Fasica
I'm really pleased to see them getting publicity. I used to go there when my best friend lived in Hilman City (just south of Columbia City) and I always thought they were great, very friendly, and inexpensive. I've gone to Kokeb and don't like it anywhere near as well. There is one other Ethiopian that I think is still open - somewhere around MLK or 23rd and Cherry. Can;t remember the name but enjoyed it.

Assimba is the Restaurant at Cherry and MLK. Excellent food/prices. There is another place on 23rd at Cherry which I have not tried. >I'm really pleased to see them getting publicity.

Addis is at 23rd and Cherry -- I haven't been there since June, but then they had a new owner and had gotten an alcohol license, and best of all the food was still excellent.
