Friends call eating on Buford Highway "adventure dining" with the variety of unusual ethnic eateries. There's a little adventure dining in a worn shopping center on College Park's Virginia Avenue.
Bole restaurant serves Ethiopian fare at modest prices in a well kept dining room. Yellow walls brighten the eating area with tables covered in red-white checkered table clothes. Pictures depicting Ethiopian scenes hang on the walls. Here's one.
We ordered two dishes: the vegetable combination at the suggestion of the friendly host and chicken and rice.

Veggie combo ($7.99) comes with misir (lentils), gomen (collard green) and two other types of vegetarian dishes. It came arranged on a platter lined with injera, a spongy flat bread. A side dish included more injera used to scoop up the food. Not only was it tasty, but fun to eat with your fingers.
The rice dish ($6.99) was well received. The rice had a slight curry flavor mixed with onions and garlic.

Overall, Bole it's a place you'd return to if you like adventure dining off the beaten path.
