Lalibela – Ethiopian
Lalibela invites diners into a world of vibrant communal dining where the warm, toasted aroma of berberé and spiced clarified butter fills the air. Crispy, golden-brown sambusas give way to savory fillings, while tangy tomato fitfit and earthy beet salads provide a refreshing counterpoint to the rich, slow-simmered heat of spicy red lentils. Every dish is a celebration of texture and tradition, from the fiery crunch of stuffed hot peppers to the comforting, buttery warmth of toasted kategna.
