Restaurant Review:
TZOM - Eritrean Restaurant (⭐4/5)
This restaurant offers Eritrean cuisine, similar to Ethiopian dishes featuring a pancake-like base with various stews meant to be eaten with your hands. The menu includes both meat and vegetarian options, and the staff is friendly. The ambiance leans more towards a cafe feel than a traditional restaurant, and the prices are reasonable.
The reason why I liked this newsletter was how diverse it was. Lots of free stuff, and events I had not come accross any other web page. Now its more similar to every web page out there
