For a first visit to an Ethiopian restaurant, the best approach is to order a combination platter, which allows you to sample a variety of dishes at once. Look for a platter that includes Doro Wot (spicy chicken stew), Misir Wot (red lentils), Tibs (sautéed beef or lamb), and a selection of vegetarian options. All dishes are served on a large piece of injera flatbread. Tear off pieces of the injera and use them to scoop up the stews. Don’t be shy about eating with your hands — it’s the traditional and preferred way to enjoy the meal.
