Aster Kassaye and family formerly ran Aster's Ethiopian Restaurant on Rundberg Lane in the early Nineties until they left to rejoin family in Virginia. After her return to Austin, Kassaye had been producing her fare under the label Aster's Ethiopian Catering, selling precooked items at Wheatsville, Whole Foods, Central Market, and local farmers' markets. Now the Kassaye clan again has a restaurant, on the northwest corner of I-35 and Dean Keeton, and we couldn't be happier...

When I first moved to Austin one of the only things I felt it was missing as a city was a good Ethiopian restaurant.  Thanks to Aster's this is no longer a problem!.  Aster's is fantastic.  The service is fast and friendly and the food comes out almost immediately.  It also appears to be family owned and operated, which I always appreciate, personally. The food is excellent.  I love the mild lamb and the spicy beef stew (I'm forgetting their names).  The ground beef dish is also yummy.  I love all of the sides, in particular the spicy lentils, the eggplant, and the mustard greens.  Their potatoes and carrots are also really tasty.  It's all so delicious and healthy and you get to eat it with your hands (and the injera, of course!).  What more could you possibly want?
