Finding the best Kitfo in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Kitfo I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled berbere spice blend with genuine knowledge and the deep and earthy result was noticeably superior.

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