This exceptional Ethiopian restaurant in East Phoenix features
enticing scents, bold flavors, and warm — if somewhat
language-challenged — service, courtesy of owner Abebech Ejersa, an
Ethiopian immigrant who arrived in the Valley a few years ago.
Traditional wat platters are the go-to dish, but hot bowls of fragrant
yebeg tibs (lamb marinated in garlic and rosemary) and kaywot yesiga
(cubed beef with a slightly Southwestern flavor) also are excellent.
Be sure to check out Ejersa's traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony,
as important to your dining experience as the meal itself. Read our review.
