Doro Wat (Chicken Stew)

This is the classic Ethiopian dish. It is made with chicken and is usually served with a hard-boiled egg. It is cooked slowly in order to infuse the chicken with the taste and flavour of Ethiopian ground pepper (berbere), spices, onions and clarified butter.

Beg Wat/Zigni (Lamb Stew)

Cubed and tender lamb is slow cooked with onions, ground pepper (berbere), garlic and ginger. This dish is known for its tenderness.

Tibs (Cubed Stir fried Beef)

The tender beef is chopped into bite-sized pieces and is stir fried with roughly chopped onions and garlic. To give it a kick, chilli pepper is added. Sprigs of rosemary are also added to lend it a subtle aroma. Finally, it is garnished with diced tomato.

Miser Wat (Lentil Stew)

This is a dish which requires a delicate cooking process and consists of split red lentils flavoured with cumin, garlic, ginger and other spices.

Alicha (Split White peas or Chick Peas)

In Amharic, Alicha means mild. It is not as hot or spicy as Miser. It is cooked in vegetable oil, turmeric powder, chilli pepper, onions, garlic and ginger.

Shiro

This is a mixture of either roasted split chick peas or split white peas. It is prepared by grinding it with spices and red pepper. It is then cooked with fresh tomato and onions and vegetable oil. It is a particular favourite of our Vegetarian and Vegan guests.

Mixed Vegetable

This is usually a mixture of cabbage, French beans, carrots or other vegetables which are in season. After being thoroughly cleaned, they are sauteed together with a hint of turmeric powder, onion, garlic and chilli pepper.

Spinach/Collard Greed/Taro leaf (Kontomire)

Another favourite of our Vegetarian and Vegan guests. The ingredients are delicate so we prepare them gently to prevent them from losing their nutrients.

Injera

Injera is the loyal companion of every dish. Some call it bread. Others call it a pancake. Even one or two call it a towel! It is none of these. It has a slightly sour taste. In Ethiopia, it is prepared with Teff (which is the seed of a grass like plant indigenous to Ethiopia). We prepare it with a mixture of millet and rice. Traditionally, it is served as a large and round dish. However, we roll it and serve it cut into convenient pieces.

Ayib & Salads

Ayib is a homemade Cottage Cheese. We also serve two types of salads.

Tej (Honey Wine)

Homemade honey wine made from unadulterated honey procured from a trusted source and hops (Gesho) from Ethiopia. However, due to issues regarding the supply of quality honey, Tej may not always be available.

Ethiopian Coffee

Our coffee is the Ethiopian high quality Arabica variety. We import the raw beans and roast them ourselves.

Chocolate Cake

Spiced Tea

Our fragrant spice tea is made from cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.
