Description

Established in 1994 to introduce traditional cooking techniques to the city, this restaurant has spent over three decades serving classics like kitfo and a popular vegetarian sampler platter. The kitchen's output is meant to be enjoyed slowly, making it a poor fit if you are in a rush. To start, the menu offers distinctive pairings like the tella, a cocktail of honey wine, coffee, and jalapeño.
