Pairing Gored Gored correctly — a note on tej

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Gored Gored. I ordered it with tej and the intensely spiced and complex elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. fenugreek in particular became more prominent in a good way. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised r…

Restaurant review — Gored Gored that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Gored Gored well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The richly buttery base was authentic and the use of teff injera showed real knowledge. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. The atmospher…

Home cooking attempt — Gored Gored from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Gored Gored from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting mitmita bird's eye chilli right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The richly buttery result was rewarding once I got it right. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised r…

Underwhelming Gored Gored — expected more

I was looking forward to Gored Gored here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The deep and earthy character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with teff injera or from scaling up production at the expense of quality. Ethiopian communal eating with no …

Holiday memory — Gored Gored that transported me back

I first ate Gored Gored on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the deep and earthy quality I remembered. fenugreek was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. Ethiopian communal eating wi…

Street food Gored Gored — the authentic version

The best Gored Gored I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The deep and earthy intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. teff injera was used without hesitation, the way it should be. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take ho…

Finding the best Gored Gored in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Gored Gored I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled mitmita bird's eye chilli with genuine knowledge and the deep and earthy result was noticeably superior. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised r…

Honest verdict on Gored Gored — good but not exceptional

Gored Gored here was solidly made — richly buttery without anything to complain about. berbere spice blend was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. The an Ethiop…

Gored Gored for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Gored Gored for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The deep and earthy profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced fenugreek used that way before. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that…
