Lalibela

Today I went to Little Ethiopia with my boyfriend. It is actually a street with many restaurants, bars, and specialty shops. It was my first time to try Ethiopian food. E took me to eat at Lalibela. It was very dark and quiet. There were still many tables before closing time, and there was only one waiter, but his attitude was very good and he greeted us quickly. First, I tried their Ethiopian spiced tea. I ordered one cold and one hot. The cold drink reminded me of the popular Kangfu tea in the past. It has a strong taste and a sweet aftertaste, much like licorice. The cold one has a lighter flavor. ,not so obvious. As an appetizer, I ordered the first Sambusa crispy pie on the menu, $4.5 each, lentils flavor, I am not familiar with lentils, its taste is very neutral, the texture is like mung beans, not too sandy, and the crust is crispy , coupled with their green sauce, seasoned with jalapeno and cilantro, it is fragrant and spicy, highly recommended. The main dish is Veggie combo, which is available on almost every table. Injera is topped with various beans and vegetables, and is eaten by pinching the bread with your hands. The Injera is sponge-like and is said to be gluten-free. Yes, after fermentation, it tastes a bit like sourdough bread. The various beans had interesting flavors, each seasoned differently, the kale was on the sour side and the curry potatoes had a mild curry flavor. We also ordered Kitfo with raw beef. It is usually eaten raw, but they can also cook it a little. They use spicy powder, various spices and cheese. I recommend everyone to try it. The overall experience is very good. There are many restaurants in the entire area to try. This is my first time trying Sobian cuisine. I really like their injera pancakes. I would like to try them again next time.

Huge selection of dishes with both meat and vegan options! The injera is amazingly fluffy, tangy, warm, and gluten free! And best of all, this place is BYOB!
