Dining Etiquette

The Traditional Way to Enjoy Tibs

In Ethiopia, food is an act of shared warmth and community. Here is how to enjoy your dish like a local:

  1. Eat with your right hand: No cutlery needed. Tear off a small piece of spongy Teff injera flatbread.
  2. Pinch and scoop: Use the injera between your fingers to scoop up a tender piece of meat, sweet onion, and a glossy coat of sauce.
  3. Save the bottom injera: The flatbread underneath the meat slowly drinks in the rich bone broth and spiced ghee. This soaked injera is traditionally cherished as the most delicious part of the dish.
  4. Practice Gursha: Feeding a bite to a friend or dining partner is a customary sign of honour, hospitality, and affection.

Perfect Beverage Pairings

Curated drinks to balance and enhance the flavours of your meal.
