Tibs

I grew up eating Tibs and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the tangy from fermented injera was right, teff injera was handled the way it should be. Ethiopian communal eating with no utensils from a shared injera is a social and h…

I first ate Tibs on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the tangy from fermented injera quality I remembered. berbere spice blend was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. the Ethiopian…

Tibs at this place was fine. The intensely spiced and complex flavour was there but not distinguished. berbere spice blend was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a …

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Tibs. I ordered it with tej honey wine and the tangy from fermented injera elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. fenugreek in particular became more prominent in a good way. Ethiopian communal eating with no utensils f…

Tibs rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The richly buttery complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using niter kibbeh spiced clarified butter correctly takes real skill. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. I encounte…

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Tibs well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The tangy from fermented injera base was authentic and the use of niter kibbeh spiced clarified butter showed real knowledge. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual tha…

Having eaten Tibs at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The deep and earthy quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. teff injera is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper a communal injera sharing mea…

I underestimated Tibs. The deep and earthy description didn't prepare me for the reality. niter kibbeh spiced clarified butter brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. Ethiopian communal eating with no ut…

Tibs here was solidly made — richly buttery without anything to complain about. mitmita bird's eye chilli was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. Ethiopian communal eating with no utensils from a shared injera is a social and hygienic…

The best Tibs I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The intensely spiced and complex intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. berbere spice blend was used without hesitation, the way it should be. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual th…
