Doro Wat exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Doro Wat made with real commitment to berbere spice blend and technique. The intensely spiced and complex result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Ethiopian communal eating with no utensils from a shared injera is a social and hygienic tradition. The a communal injera sharing meal was exactly right for this kind of eating. Ethiopian coffee ceremony was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
