Finding the best Shiro in the city — a personal search

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

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