The supplied photograph shows chicken and eggs in red sauce as part of a larger sharing spread. The menu price is for Doro Wat; ask which accompaniments are included rather than assuming every pictured side comes with it. ![Injera platter with chicken in dark red sauce, two eggs, white cheese, greens, meat, yellow vegetables and salad](https://testofethiopiarestaurant.com.au/assets/food/food-04-doro-sharing-overhead.webp) ### A closer look at each part **Doro Wat: chicken stew** Large dark red serving in the centre Doro Wat is Ethiopian chicken stew. A large chicken piece is coated in a thick, dark red sauce here. Separate meat from the bone and use a little injera to gather it with some sauce. **Eggs in the sauce** Two oval shapes near the centre Two eggs are coated in the same red stew. Break off a little egg to taste with the sauce; it offers a firmer, distinct bite alongside the chicken rather than another meat preparation. **Crumbly white cheese** White portions on either side of the stew The white crumbles appear to be the Ethiopian-style fresh cheese often called ayib. Try a small amount with the sauce for a softer contrast. Ask the team to confirm the cheese and ingredients. **Cooked greens with meat** Dark green servings around the top, left and right Chopped cooked leaves and stems are mixed with strips or pieces of meat in several parts of the plate. They offer a leafy texture alongside the central stew. Ask which greens and meat are used in this combination. **A separate meat preparation** Orange-brown pieces towards the lower left A smaller serving of cubed meat in a lighter-coloured sauce sits beside the chicken. Taste it separately so you can compare the two preparations, and confirm the meat and recipe with the team. **Yellow potatoes and cabbage** Yellow vegetable portions around the rim Soft-looking potato pieces and cabbage sit around the main dishes. These offer a familiar vegetable texture and work well in a small bite with the greens or a little of the chicken sauce. **Salad and green chilli** Upper right and lower left edges Pale leafy salad, carrot and green chilli slices sit alongside the cooked food. Try the salad between richer bites; leave the chilli slices aside until you know how much heat you enjoy. **Injera** Three rolled portions and the base under the food The soft bread is both your scoop and part of the dish. Tear a little from a roll, collect a small amount of one component, then explore combinations such as chicken sauce with egg or greens. **Excellent****4.5****90 reviews on Google** [Write a review](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gZUF2ft8vjPss8Kp9) Amy Bachrach 5 months ago [Read guest reviews on Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gZUF2ft8vjPss8Kp9) Enjoyed a delicious lunch and a vegetarian platter with greens, lentils, vegetables and a bright salad.

THE FIRST BITE ### Start here Taste a little chicken sauce on injera, then try it with a piece of egg. Next add a small amount of cheese, if you eat dairy, and compare that bite with one of the greens. Ask the team about the sauce’s chilli level. THE HOW ### Make it your own Separate the chicken from the bone, take a little egg and scoop with injera. Try the sides individually before combining them.
