Tips
Here are some tips for enjoying the Horn of Africa cuisine:
1. **Try Injera:** This spongy sourdough flatbread is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine. Use it to scoop up various dishes instead of utensils.
2. **Sample the Tibs:** These sautéed meat dishes, often seasoned with berbere spice, can vary from beef to lamb and are a must-try.
3. **Explore Vegetarian Options:** The menu typically includes numerous vegetarian plates, such as Misir Wat (spicy lentils) and Shiro (chickpea stew), showcasing the rich flavors of Ethiopian spices.
4. **Don’t Skip the Desserts:** Finish your meal with traditional Ethiopian sweets, often featuring honey or sesame seeds, for a perfect finale.
5. **Share with Friends:** Ethiopian meals are traditionally communal, so gather a group to enjoy a variety of dishes together.
6. **Ask for Recommendations:** If you're unfamiliar with the cuisine, don’t hesitate to ask staff for their favorites or popular dishes.
