      Ethiopian food is mainly supported by Ethiopian diaspora because Ethiopians find it hard to eat mcdonald's or like everyday..They don't leave their people high and dry. You might be surprised but Ethiopian restaurants are more than just a restaurants, they open Ethiopian restaurants to let the new comers, and old diaspora to socialize and help one another and meet other Ethiopians. Mostly, these restaurants serve more than food, that's the thing I love about Ethiopians.
      The difference between Asians, Europeans is Africans are selfless the rest are selfish and greedy. They do all for the money. Ethiopians and Arabs mostly do it for socializing.That's their common ground characters Ethiopians share with Arabs..

    Ethiopian Food is so so delicious! In Geneva Switzerland there were 2 restaurants 10 years ago, I made it a point to go for Zigni plated on injeera with little mounds of lentils spinach and meat in sauce about once a month for a while there. Seriously yummy, the people friendly and utterly delicious coffee. For my vegetarian friends there was always a good selection also. Highly recommend this cuisine.

Still, kudos for the place and the market. I hope you continue to have success and you both get better.

    Damn this looks so good. I have a friend from Eritrea and he told me about Injera and I wanna try it so badly! I feel it would be similar to Dosa right?

    Guys where ever you are do not miss a chance to have Ethiopian food! The Tef (wheat that makes the Injera) is a superfood and they also have a great variety of vegetarian dishes. Spiciness is something you have to inquire ahead as it can get from comfortable mild to razor sharp hot! The tanginess from the Injera with the full flavoured aromatic sauces are a bombastic combination and the whole Goursha story can get pretty messy and funny!! 👍
