• Signature Stews & Vegan Options – Highlights include misir or shuro wot, chicken tibs cooked with green chillies and herbs, and hearty vegan combinations praised for bold, layered flavours.
• Bread & Snacks – Kategna (grilled injera rubbed with chilli sauce) is a flavourful starter with a smoky bite.
• Coffee Ceremony Experience – Traditional Ethiopian coffee is prepared tableside, roasted fresh in front of diners and served with popcorn—a sensory ritual that ends the meal beautifully.
