In studenty Jimbōchō, Japanese curry cafes are everywhere and fiercely competitive. Ethiopia is a seasoned champ, offering jumbo serves and curries packed with meat and vegetables.

If downstairs is full, there's also upstairs with 24 more tables. A nice touch at lunch is the complimentary steamed potato with butter as a starter.
