Exquisite dining experience from the cradle of mankind.

Unlike the food of almost any other country, Ethiopian cuisine has grown in a vacuum, undiluted by outside forces. Its mountainous geography kept it largely isolated from its neighbors, and unlike other African countries, Ethiopia escaped European domination, except for a five-year Italian occupation/war with Italy. Only its position as a stop on ancient trade routes brought Ethiopia the cardamom, cloves and cinnamon, fenugreek, turmeric and other spices that are used so creatively.

Ethiopian food is served on centerpiece platters over injera, accompanied by plates of more injera, rolled up like so many dish towels. To eat, you simply tear off pieces of injera and scoop up bites of food. Our traditional menu incorporates beef, lamb and chicken. And due to the Orthodox Church's fasting seasons vegetrian dishes come in abundance and variety of flavors. The delicious and crisply fried fish will not fail to impress any hardcore dining enthusiast either.

The flavorings are usually cooked slowly in kibe, a clarified butter with Ethiopia-grown chili peppers combining with ginger, garlic, onions, spices, basil and a host of less familiar flavorings like bishop's weed, which resembles thyme.

The traditional way of eating is with fingers.  Since silverware is not served, (unless you ask for it), you will be tearing up the injera and scooping up the stews with it.

It probably won't taste like anything you've had before but it will be fantastic. And Its all Yummy!!!!
