]]> You may be visiting Ethiopia for the fascinating history or beautiful landscapes, but you should definitely also be going for the food. Ethiopian cuisine is full of bold flavors and as interesting as her people. Here are 4 dishes you you should make a point to try. 

Injera

Every country has a staple food and in Ethiopia that is injera. The thin, spongy bread is made from teff flour and water, and used as a utensil to scoop up other dishes.

Doro Wat

What is doro wat? This spicy chicken stew is often considered the national dish of Ethiopia. It’s made with chicken, onions, garlic, ginger, and a variety of spices. And eaten with injera, of course.

Shiro

Although meat is a big part of Ethiopian cuisine, there is something for the vegetarians too. Shiro is a chickpea or lentil stew that is made using a blend of spices, including berbere and is thickened with flour.

Coffee

You cannot visit the home of coffee and not have a cup. As coffee is such a part of Ethiopian culture, it is often served in a traditional ceremony that involves roasting the beans, grinding them, and brewing them in a clay pot.

]]> Ethiopian food is one of the biggest draws to booking a trip to this east African country. Although it is starting to gain popularity all over the world, there is no place to try some of the country’s special dishes like inside of its own borders. Foodies, if you book a trip to Ethiopia, don’t leave until you have sampled these three dishes!

Tibs

Do you like stir-fries? If so, you will undoubtedly love tibs, which is like an Ethiopian version of this classic Asian dish. Beef or venison are typically used as the base for this dish, which also contains chopped vegetables that are combined with fragrant spices and red wine.

Injera

The staple of Ethiopian food is injera, a spongy type of bread made from the flour of a native plant. This bread is used as the method for picking up food, as the country’s many stews and lentil dishes soak into the injera as you pick it up. Yum!

Azifa

It can get pretty hot in Ethiopia, which might leave you looking for something cool and refreshing to eat. Azifa is a great option! This cold lentil salad contains green peppers, tomatoes, lemon, and olive oil and is great for sweltering weather.

A good trick for feeling like you’re traveling is to taste and try cooking food from all over the world. Today, why not sample the delights of Ethiopian cuisine?

Injera

Injera is the base food of Ethiopian cuisine. It is a thin rubbery bread that you use to scoop up the other dishes. It is slightly bitter and sour to the taste if eaten on its own, but complements the fiery curries and sauces beautifully.

Vegetable Curries

Ethiopian cuisine is full of vibrant and colorful vegetable curries. Made from a large variety of vegetables, herbs, and chilis, they will have your taste buds dancing the eskista.

Berbere

Berbere is a spice mix that is made of up to 16 spices such as ginger, fenugreek, chili powder, garlic, cinnamon, and cardamom. It is one of the common dish accompaniments you will find in Ethiopia.

Tef

Tef is the world’s smallest grain and is a staple of the Ethiopian diet. Known as a superfood in the West, it is high in protein, calcium and is gluten-free. Tef is the main ingredient in injera.

Because of a delay in Frankfurt I had a late arrival in Addis Abeba. On the airport in Addis the passportcontroll took real long time. A late sleep and a late wakeup made that my first sightseeing of Addis was not early morning. For my first day I had chosen some places to visit. For me the most Impressive was the "Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum". A place dedicated to estimated half a million murdered by the Derg. With the help of an Ethiopian guy I also managed ti find a place were I could buy a busticket to Bahir Dar for next Tuesday. After that I went for a luinch with the man and I had my first Ethiopian mail. Shiroo it was. Tasteful and spicy with Italian influences. The afternoon I visited some other places. Nu first impression of Addis was good. Friendly people and most of them warning me dit pickpockets. The man who helped me will be my guide tomorrow gisting some other places and see more of Addis Abeba! – – #addisabeba #ethiopia #ethiopie #ethiopiantravel #ethiopiatravel #travelethiopia #visitethiopia #getawaytravel #backpackerslife #lonelyplanetmags #backpacking #backpackerpics #backpackerstory #worldnomads #reisverslaafd #wegdromer #travelphotography #natgeoyourshot #yourshotphotographer #travelphotographer #solotravelingisfun #eindevandewereld #underafricanskies

One of the highlights of any trip to Addis Ababa is the National Museum of Ethiopia. As mentioned before, Ethiopia’s fascinating history is one of the most attractive regions to visit. Here, visitors can discover fossils of ancient humans, including “Lucy,” as well as art that dates back to antiquity.

Visitors that are interested in beautiful views of the city can travel to various lookout points, including the Ethiopian Space Observatory in the Entoto Hills outside of the city. It’s a great place to watch the sunset and to see a panoramic view of the city.

Also, visitors to Addis Ababa must check out some of the city’s cuisine. Ethiopian coffee is some of the best in the world, and visitors to the city will find lots of places to sample the local product.

Ethiopian food is also a delicious treat, and you’ll find plenty of restaurants serving up injeera bread and other delicacies throughout Addis Ababa.

Addis Ababa is a great destination for those looking for an interesting experience off of the beaten path.

Buka

Buka is a Brooklyn-based authentic Nigerian restaurant and bar. Colorful pictures, decorations, and flags, all brought from this African country gives an authentic vibe to the whole place. However, the true star of this restaurant is a “danfo”, a Nigerian yellow bus parked in the middle of Buka.

Ponty Bistro

Owned by two cousins from Africa, this West African and Senegalese restaurant fused with the modern Mediterranean and French cuisine is a real refreshment for foodies. Ponty Bistro, located in the Harlem neighborhood, is popular among guests for its great atmosphere, live music and the delicious combination of African spices used in European dishes, and vice versa.
