Honest verdict on Ayib — good but not exceptional

Ayib here was solidly made — intensely spiced and complex without anything to complain about. teff injera was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Ethiopian communal eating with no utensils from a shared injera is a social and hygienic tradition. The an Addis Ababa restaurant atmosphere was pleasant enough. fresh juice was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Ayib this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
