East African, Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine.

SECRETS OF ERITREAN COOKING

The sauce 'wot' is the traditional dish, made of chicken or meat or peas and lentils with a spicy red pepper sauce. It is eaten with the national flat pancake bread called "Injera" which is made from t'eff flour. The meal is normally served on a mosob - a large plate on a colorful woven basket table - with a variety of 'wots' arranged around the "Injera." Any of the Eritrean & Ethiopian 'wots' may be prepared as keyi 'wot', which has a Berbere paste in it or as Alit'cha which does not. Eating with your family or group of friends at Asmara restaurant you'll experience the excitement of eating delicious food the Eritrean and Ethiopian way!

Asmara is handicap accessible.
