Shalom Ethiopian & Eritrean Restaurant

Vegetarian Combination Platter

A spread of lentil stews, spiced greens, and chickpea dishes arranged on a large injera — the breadth and depth of the vegan options here is the real draw

Doro Wat

Slow-cooked chicken in a rich, deeply spiced berbere sauce with a whole hard-boiled egg — the benchmark Ethiopian stew done with care

Kitfo

Ethiopian-style minced beef seasoned with mitmita and spiced butter, served raw or lightly warmed — rich and intensely flavored

Lamb Tibs

Sautéed lamb cubes with onions, peppers, and rosemary — one of the cleaner, less sauce-heavy options on the menu

Misir Wat

Red lentils simmered low and long in berbere spice paste — earthy, complex, and the kind of dish that makes the vegetarian platter worth ordering on its own

Shiro

Smooth, spiced chickpea flour stew that coats the injera like a savory gravy — a comfort staple in both Ethiopian and Eritrean traditions

Gomen

Collard greens cooked with garlic and niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter) — a simple preparation that's often better than it sounds

Ethiopian Coffee

Traditionally brewed and served in a small clay pot with incense — the full coffee ceremony experience if you ask for it
