Massawa Restaurant

Vegetarian Combination Plate

A sampler of lentil, chickpea, and vegetable stews spooned onto injera — the best way to survey the kitchen's range in one order

Doro Wat

Slow-braised chicken in a deep berbere-spiced sauce with a hard-boiled egg — the canonical East African stew done right

Tibs

Sautéed beef or lamb with onions and spices, served alongside injera — well-seasoned and hearty

Misir (Red Lentil Stew)

Earthy split red lentils stewed with berbere and niter kibbeh — a staple that anchors any combo plate

Shiro

Slow-simmered chickpea flour stew with a smooth, deeply savory finish — simple but hard to stop eating
