First Visit?

New to Ethiopian & Eritrean food?

Ethiopian and Eritrean meals are made for sharing. Here is what to expect at the table.

  1. Injera is your plate and spoon

    Injera is a soft, slightly sour flatbread traditionally made from teff. Dishes are served on top of it, with extra rolls on the side.

  2. Eat with your right hand

    Tear off a piece of injera and use it to scoop up the food. Cutlery is never wrong, though.

  3. Share from one platter

    Order a few dishes for the table. Offering a friend a bite by hand, called gursha, is a sign of warmth.

  4. Vegetarian dishes are a tradition

    Many Ethiopians and Eritreans eat meat-free on fasting days, so dishes like Shiro and Misir Wot are classics, not an afterthought.

The Ethiopian & Eritrean coffee ceremony

Ethiopia is widely known as the birthplace of coffee. In Ethiopian and Eritrean homes, coffee is a ritual of hospitality: beans are roasted, brewed and shared with family and friends, one slow round at a time.

  1. Roast

    Green coffee beans are washed and roasted over a small flame until dark and fragrant, then passed around so everyone can enjoy the aroma.

  2. Brew

    The beans are ground and boiled in a jebena, a clay coffee pot, often with incense burning nearby.

  3. Share

    Coffee is poured into small cups over three rounds: abol, tona and baraka, the last said to bring a blessing.
