Ethiopian in Mount Kisco

We headed to Mount Kisco for dinner on Friday night. We were planning to try the Ethiopian restaurant Lalibela which opened in early summer. After trying Ethiopian food at Queen Of Sheeba on the West side, we have been fans of this cuisine. It is relatively similar to the Asian roti s& curries we are used to. The experience is enhanced by the cultural elements of communal eating with no cutlery, a concept foreign to many Westerners. We ordered a vegetarian platter and a sauteed chicken dish to share among the three of us. The injera (the type of bread) was very fresh and soft. But the curries lacked the spice and flavor that I was expecting. The variety of curries was good but the lack of flavor was obvious esp in the chicken. The portions were sufficient and the service was great but the meal (~$50 for three people) was not satisfactory. Having garnered good reviews from NYT, the place seemed packed with typical the Friday night dinner crowd.Next time I'm in the mood for Ethiopian, I'll certainly head to the city.
