Kitfo exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Kitfo made with real commitment to niter kibbeh spiced clarified butter and technique. The tangy from fermented injera 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 traditional coffee ceremony setting was exactly right for this kind of eating. tej 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.
