Underwhelming Ayib — expected more

I was looking forward to Ayib here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The richly buttery character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with teff injera or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Ethiopian communal eating with no utensils from a shared injera is a social and hygienic tradition. The a communal injera sharing meal setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. tej honey wine was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
