Vegetarian Combination Platter

A mosaic of lentil wats, sautéed greens, and vegetable stews arranged on injera — generous, deeply spiced, and among the better veggie spreads in the East Bay

Doro Wat

Slow-cooked chicken drumstick in a rich, dark berbere sauce with a hard-boiled egg — the canonical Ethiopian stew, done with care

Misir Wat

Red lentils simmered in berbere and niter kibbeh until they meld into a dense, earthy stew — a reliable anchor on any combo plate

Gomen

Collard greens braised with garlic and spiced butter — a palate cleanser among richer stews, with a slight bitterness that balances the combo

Kitfo

Ethiopian beef tartare seasoned with mitmita and spiced butter — rich and slightly funky; ask for it medium if you're new to the dish

Shiro

Silky chickpea flour stew thickened to a smooth, velvety consistency with warming spices — understated but deeply satisfying
