How to eat
the Habesha way

No forks needed. Ethiopian food is shared from one big plate, and the injera is your spoon.

  1. Order to share

    A platter is an easy start: the Habesha Platter or the seven-dish Vegetarian Platter.

  2. Tear the injera

    Rip off a piece of the soft, slightly tangy flatbread and use it to pinch up the food.

  3. Offer a gursha

    A gursha is a bite fed to someone you love. It is how Ethiopian tables say welcome.

Plenty for vegetarians

Seven dishes.
Zero meat.

The Vegetarian Platter brings seven different vegetarian dishes together on one injera.

  • Mesir WotLentils in a mildly spiced sauce
  • Kik WotYellow split peas, mild turmeric
  • Shuro WotSmooth seasoned chickpea sauce
  • Gomen WotCollard greens, onion, garlic
  • Atkilt WotCabbage, carrots and potatoes

Buna · coffee

Ethiopia gave the
world coffee.

In Ethiopian homes, coffee is a ceremony: beans roasted, ground and brewed in a clay jebena, then poured slowly in three rounds. It is the natural way to end a shared meal.
