What to expect at an Eritrean restaurant

- Combination platter on injera – the best introduction to Ethiopian food
- Doro wot – a deeply spiced chicken stew
- Jollof rice – the West African favorite
- Suya – grilled skewers with a peanut spice rub
Good to know
- Ethiopian food is traditionally eaten with the right hand – utensils are available if you prefer.
