Ethiopian communal eating with no utensils from a shared injera is a social and hygienic tradition. The an Ethiopian diaspora restaurant abroad atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Ethiopian coffee ceremony as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Gored Gored is the place to start.
