Tibs exceeded every expectation
I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Tibs made with real commitment to berbere spice blend and technique. The deep and earthy result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.
the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. The an Ethiopian diaspora restaurant abroad was exactly right for this kind of eating. tej honey wine was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
