What to Order
- Meat combination: a mix of stews and sautéed meats on injera.
- Vegetarian combination: lentil, chickpea and vegetable dishes.
- Tibs: sautéed meat.
- Injera: the spongy flatbread used to scoop.
Dietary Needs
Ethiopian menus have many vegan dishes, since vegetable and lentil stews are traditional for fasting days. Injera is often made with teff, but some kitchens blend in wheat, so ask if you need gluten-free.
