About this spot
In the heart of Devon Avenue's Little India, Tesfa serves massive plates of Braised Thin Bread with Kibbe that you'll want to share among your whole table. Don't skip the Sambusa Combo, which perfectly balances lentils, spinach, chicken, and beef in a single crispy pastry. The kitchen also excels at hearty stews like the Beef and Chickpea Flour Stew, offering a comforting flavor profile distinct from typical American fare.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order your injera bread fresh; it becomes tough and less absorbent if it sits out too long before you start dipping.
- Ask for extra Mitmitah spice on your Chopped Lean Beef if you want to experience the full heat of this traditional chili paste.
- Save room for dessert, as Ethiopian restaurants often serve sweet treats like honey-drizzled bread or fruit compote after the main meal.
