Try Ethiopian food

I got a recommendation about a small Ethiopian restaurant downtown Denver and being all out for trying new food I went for it! It was so great learning how to eat from the communal plate and trying different teas. I love the bread! The serving looked small for two but we had a fair amount of leftovers! 2 years ago

Ethiopian food is completely delicious. Plus you can’t beat eating with your fingers! 3 years ago

Sorry but I’m not a fan of Ethiopian food. Maybe it’s because I actually ate it in Ethiopia. All I remember is being served a huge bowl of intestines, still coated in bile. Along with grey colored bread that smelled and tasted like vinegar. I struggled to get any of it down. I really enjoyed visiting the country of Ethiopia. The people and landscapes were amazing….but the food, no thanks. 3 years ago

One of the collectively hungriest countries in the world,
and in Perth, WA, Australia, There is aEthiopian “Cusine” restaurant called Mebos Cafe.

Who came up with that idea?

Are we going to feed off grubs and maize meal?

Still, curiosity has the better of me.
I’ll have to go one day! 3 years ago

The trick is to use the bread to pick up the food without getting overstuffed on the bread, and without having to suck on your fingers. It takes a few tries but yummm does it pay off!

The Berbere options have a little kick of slow heat spice to them, so beware! Great veggie options! 3 years ago

God. I’ve heard it’s terrible, but I want to be my own judge. 4 years ago

I’m a big fan of Ethiopian cuisine—I’ve even had Ethiopian food in Ethiopia! Go with someone who can guide you through the menu and explain injera to you… If you’re going for the first time, I suggest that you get a platter with a variety of small dishes. So delicious! If you haven’t done this, you should… 5 years ago

because there are lots of other types of foods i want to eat and not a lot of chance to eat ethiopian foods! 5 years ago

but i want to…and i have a coupon so that i can go and dine for 1/2 price at a place in the city…

gonna do this in october! 5 years ago

What an awesome cuisine. It’s also fun to introduce it to friends! 5 years ago

I love ethiopian food. an unexpected joy I developed from one of my ex girlfriends. 5 years ago

Always be willing to try something new, and never regret your initial decision. Even though it wasn’t what I’ve expected, I’m glad that I’ve given it a chance. 5 years ago

is this Ethiopian foodstall at the markets here, that does the best yellow lentils and pumpkin curry in the universe!

Ethipian spices taste so different to anything else I’ve had. Such a unique taste. 5 years ago

Ethiopian is probably my favorite ethnic cuisine at this point (along with Indian and Korean). 5 years ago

then this is the food for you! Man, is it tasty!! And, it is vegetarian friendly! Rayanne took me to an Ethiopian restaurant. 5 years ago

i may have incorrectly spelled that.

this place, located near my local best buy, was a delightful surprise of tastiness. i will definitely go back. 5 years ago

its pretty good… it has some middle easternness to it, but if i remember correctly, much of it was spicy. 5 years ago

I love Ethiopian food – the spongy bread, scooping up spicy sauces…

I need to find an Ethiopian restaurant here in Atlanta! :) 5 years ago

soooo good! 5 years ago

ethiopian food is wildly delicious!
you should probably go to a restaurant to have it first before trying to cook it yourself at home, so it’s authentic.
& the spongy bread is called injera. 5 years ago

We’ve been meaning to try it for a couple of years. It is a car ride away as there are no direct buses but shouldn’t be too much effort.

This will be very interesting. 5 years ago

so far my least favorite, but still worth trying it, at least once. 5 years ago

I love it! It’s fun to eat…if the opportunity presents itself – go for it! 6 years ago

I’ve tried Ethiopian food. At first, I thought the bread felt like human flesh, but that was because it was cold and refridgerated. I’ve had it since then, and I love it. There is a large Ethiopian population here in DC, and there are a handful of good restaurants. 6 years ago

The sour crepe takes a bit of getting used to, make sure to wash your hands before the meal is served as there is generally no cutlery to eat with! After the meal, be sure to order coffee. It is such a treat, they roast the beans right there in a special tin and it is served with sweetened popcorn. 6 years ago

I had my first Ethiopian food about a month ago at a restaurant on Fairfax, in Los Angeles, called Merkato. Had fish and vegetable dishes, and have been thinking about it ever since. Trying to organize a group from work to go there again soon. 6 years ago
