In Ethiopia, food is always shared, so much so that you will often see Ethiopians feeding eachother with tenderness. It is known as a ‘gursha’ and it is a common sight. Our cuisine, therefore, reflects this mindset: a range of dishes to be shared from a common platter which combines dense and spicy dishes with fresh and mild ones.

Ethiopian tradition has it that citizens become vegans on certain days: every Wednesday and Friday, for instance, as well as longer periods of up to seven weeks. This has led to a rich tradition of vegan dishes which we are keen to share with you.

¿Isn’t all this a bit too spicy? Perhaps some dishes, but in reality there is a range of fresh and mild dishes that allow us to moderate it all to our taste. In any case, Ethiopian food is not meant to be spicy
for its own sake, it simply strives for a balance between dishes rich in spices along with fresh salads and mild dishes on the other hand.
