chicken stewed in special berbere sauce and seasoned butter; served with hardboiled eggs and homemade ethiopian cottage-cheese.

doro tibs

boneless chicken breast cooked with hot peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, ginger and spicy sauce.

ye beg tibs

teeming with chunks of lamb sautéed with onions, green peppers, tomato and a seasoned clarified butter called niter kibe. the inclusion of tomato, by the way, is more a trait of neighboring eritrea -specifically, a culinary vestige of its italian occupation. but tomato or no tomato, it's a rousing preparation, made all the more so with repeated glugs of tej, an intoxicatingly sweet honey mead.

doro wat

perhaps the most famous of ethiopian dishes, goes beyond the rousing: selam's version veers into the downright fiery the stew's thick crimson sauce is given its color by the addition of berbere, a potent powdered spice mix and staple of ethiopian cooking. here a chicken leg and a hard-boiled egg are the beneficiaries of this heady dressing, and, no, i couldn't tell you which came first. hell, i couldn't tell you which we ate first, but i can tell you it's an extraordinary dish nonetheless, and that tearing into the stained injera drenched in a soak of scarlet jus beneath it all is what food dreams are made of.

kitfo

heap of finely chopped raw beef mixed with niter kibe and collard greens. it's served with a soft crumbly white cheese, but it was the heavy essence of cardamom in the beef that put a slightly odd spin on the dish. it wasn't bad, but cardamom is the last spice you expect to taste when chomping on raw beef.

ye sega tibs firfir

but we couldn't get past the overly dry chunks in the ye sega tibs firfir ($13.90). the utterly gracious servers may have overheard our grousing and offered a berbere-based awaze hot sauce as a lubricant, but it didn't help much. that hot sauce, though whoa!

kik alitcha

a remarkably simple dish of cooked split yellow lentils mixed with onions, garlic, ginger and turmeric. sure, it's as perfect a pairing with injera as it is with an indian dosa, but i can't help but think it'd go just as well in (gasp) a taco.

gored gored

cubes of soft beef seasoned with awaze spices, mitmita chili peppers, and spiced butter. prepared rare or medium rare.

selam veggie special

a combinations of 8 vegan mushroom dulet, butecha (peas), collard green, miser wet spicy lentil, cabbage, or timatim-fito, shiro, and azifa.
