The Menu

The Ethiopian table is shared. A large round of injera arrives at the center, and the cook spoons each dish — stews, lentils, sautéed meats, fresh greens — directly onto the bread. You eat with your right hand, tearing off pieces of injera to scoop up the food. There are no plates, no forks, and no individual portions; the meal is one beautiful collaborative thing.

This page is the overview. Each section below links to a fuller menu with descriptions and prices.

How the Menu Is Organized

• Combo platters — the easiest way to order, especially the first time. A generous sampler of multiple dishes on a single round of injera.
• Vegetarian & vegan — Ethiopian cuisine is one of the most vegetable-forward cuisines in the world. Many of our most popular dishes are vegan by default.
• Meat dishes — slow-simmered stews and quick-sautéed tibs, in beef, lamb, chicken, and fish.
• Breakfast — served on weekends, including fir-fir, ful, and chechebsa.
• Drinks — fresh-pressed juices, Ethiopian honey wine (tej), beer, and the coffee ceremony.

Combo Platters

The combos are the heart of the menu — and the simplest way to taste a wide variety in one visit. Built for two to four people. See the combo platters

Vegetarian & Vegan

Ethiopian Orthodox Christians observe more than 200 fasting days per year on a strict vegan diet, which has shaped a deep, sophisticated tradition of plant-based cooking. See the vegetarian menu

Meat Dishes

Slow-cooked wat, quickly-sautéed tibs, and grilled and fried fish. See the meat menu

Sambosa & Starters

Crisp fried turnovers stuffed with spiced lentils or beef, served with awaze dipping sauce. Several reviewers have called the sambosa the best starter in town.

Breakfast

Weekend mornings only. Fir-fir (injera torn and tossed in spicy wat), ful (slow-cooked fava beans), and chechebsa (pan-fried flatbread with niter kibbeh and berbere). See breakfast

Drinks & Coffee

Fresh-pressed juices and smoothies are made to order. We also pour Ethiopian honey wine (tej), local craft beer, and offer the traditional buna coffee ceremony on request. Juices & beer · Coffee ceremony

About the Spices

The defining flavor of Ethiopian cooking is berbere, a slow-toasted blend that anchors almost every red stew on the menu. We mix ours in-house. More about berbere
