NYC: Ras – Plant Based Ethiopian Restaurant in West Village
Ras Plant Based is an Ethiopian restaurant in West Village, serving plant-based dishes rooted in traditional flavors with a modern twist.
We started with the Injera Nachos—crispy injera chips topped with berbere cheese sauce, black beans, protein crumble, guacamole, and pico de gallo. The injera chips were such a great idea, adding a crunch that worked perfectly with the creamy toppings. Injera is a traditional Ethiopian flatbread. It’s soft and spongy, made from fermented teff flour, which gives it a tangy flavor that I really like.
The Mercato Platter was a hearty mix: red lentil stew, caramelized string beans and carrots, spiced ground chickpeas, sautéed cabbage with bell peppers, and collard greens with onions. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, with just the right amount of spice. For the Mercato platter you could choose between rice or injera as a side. We choose rice and immediately regretted it, and ordered injera on the side. If you’re visiting Ras Plant Based, make sure you try the injera, it’s delicious and perfect for scooping up the different dishes.
We stumbled upon the restaurant completely by coincidence, when looking for a place to eat before watching the Halloween parade, but it turned out to be an excellent choice. Would go back for the injera, both the regular ones and the crunchy chips version in the plant-based nachos.
Ras Plant Based, 170 Bleecker St, New York, NY 10012
