Ethiopian Cuisine recommendations plz

[Retrograde]

15. If you're daring, try kitfo

spiced raw beef or lamb. My favorites are shiro, a chickpea flour dish, and misr wat, a red lentil stew.

I second the recommendation to get sampler plates for a first outing. This will give you an idea of the varieties of Ethiopian food. Meals are usually served communally, a single platter per table, and people share. Utensils aren't used: pieces of injera, a spongy bread, are used to scoop up the food. The cuisine uses a lot of spices that aren't common elsewhere: nothing particularly spice (at least my taste) but they may be unfamiliar to you.

My biggest complaint about Ethiopian restaurants is that there aren't any nearby!
