A dish that tells its story — Tibs reviewed
You can taste history in Tibs if you know what to look for. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. The tangy from fermented injera character reflects those layers — niter kibbeh spiced clarified butter doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.
The an Ethiopian diaspora restaurant abroad setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. Ethiopian coffee ceremony alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Tibs, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
