Frequently asked questions

What should first-timers order at an Ethiopian or Eritrean restaurant in Toronto?

Start with a shared platter on injera: a vegetarian combo (beyaynetu) plus a meat dish such as tibs or doro wat, and finish with a traditional coffee ceremony where offered. Most menus mark vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Do Toronto Ethiopian restaurants offer vegan options?

Yes, many do. Fasting traditions in Ethiopian Orthodox culture mean most menus include a vegetarian combo of lentils, greens, chickpeas, and cabbage served on injera.
