Meskel – Ethiopian
The air at Meskel is thick with the intoxicating scent of toasted spices and clarified butter, drawing guests into a warm space where communal dining is elevated to an art form. Vibrant mounds of slow-simmered lentils and velvety shero rest atop tangles of sourdough injera, while sizzling pans of tender tibbs and spiced kitfo bring a bold, savory depth to the shared table. It is a sensory journey that celebrates the ritual of the meal, inviting diners to tear, scoop, and savor every layer of these deeply traditional flavors.
