My first time eating Ethiopian food and it was awesome. When I asked for a spicy meat dish I was given a rich and very spicy beef platter with onions and jalapenos and a crepe like bread to sponge up the broth. I really liked it, but the heat level is not for the faint of heart. Definitely gonna be coming back.
