Comparing Misir Wat across three restaurants — an honest verdict

I ate Misir Wat at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of mitmita bird's eye chilli varied significantly — only one got it right. The richly buttery profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely.

the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. The best version came from a communal injera sharing meal, which felt authentic. fresh juice was offered at all three but only one knew how to serve it properly. The gap between mediocre and excellent Misir Wat is larger than you'd think.
