Finding the best Doro Wat in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Doro Wat I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled fenugreek with genuine knowledge and the intensely spiced and complex result was noticeably superior.

the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. The winning restaurant had the right a traditional coffee ceremony setting feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. tej was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Doro Wat is made properly it's a completely different experience.
