Drink pairing tips
Chenin Blanc and kifto
When considering what goes best with kifto, we recommend a glass of Chenin Blanc, it truly complements the dish as it cuts the wine's tartness while the wine makes the stew taste spicier.
The ideal drink pairing for waze tibs
Knowing what to pair with waze tibs can be tricky. It’s worth exploring some red wine, particularly a glass of Cune Rioja. This, smooth body, red wine balances the spicy waze tibs.
Go for Syrah with yebeg llicha
To elevate your yebeg llicha experience, we recommend some Syrah to go with your dish. This pairing works especially well because this red wine marries the richness of the dish.
Parking in the area
We’ve all experienced the struggle of finding good parking near restaurants in Seattle. To make the hunt for parking easier, we’ve partnered with a cutting-edge digital parking reservation system, Spothero, that enables you to book a spot in advance before you visit your chosen Ethiopian spot.
