Meat dishes
Mixed meat platter
Different preparations, one shared plate
Photographed sharing guide
Several meat preparations, cheese and greens, with a yellow-seasoned dish, condiments and injera.
A guide to the photographed combination, rather than a separately priced menu item. Ask the team how to build a similar meal.
What’s on
this plate?
An exploration of Ethiopian meat dishes and their accompaniments. This plate brings a minced serving and larger pieces together, with cheese, greens and a yellow-seasoned dish alongside. Ask the team to identify each preparation when ordering.
A closer look at each part
- Minced meat
- Black dish towards the top centreThe finely chopped red serving has a different texture from the larger meat pieces on the right. It resembles a kitfo-style preparation; ask the team to identify it and confirm whether you want the meat fully cooked.
- Cooked greens
- Small green serving above the minceFinely chopped dark greens sit beside the white cheese. Try them on a little injera before adding some mince, so you can explore the vegetable and meat flavours separately.
- Crumbly white cheese
- White serving above and beside the minceThe white crumbles appear to be fresh cheese, often called ayib in Ethiopian meals. It provides a soft accompaniment to the meat and greens. Ask the team about the exact cheese if you need to check ingredients.
- Larger meat pieces with onion and chilli
- Black bowl on the rightThe red cubes and strips are mixed with onion and sliced green chilli. Ask which dish this is and how it will be cooked. Try the meat separately from the chilli until you know your preferred heat.
- Yellow-seasoned preparation
- Large white bowl on the leftThis bowl contains irregular strips and pieces with visible green chilli and pale vegetable pieces in a yellow seasoning. The photograph does not establish the main ingredient or dish name; ask the team to explain it before choosing this combination.
- Red condiment
- Small white bowl at the upper leftA textured red accompaniment is served separately from the main food. Ask what it is, then try a very small amount on injera to explore its seasoning before adding more.
- Dry spice accompaniment
- Small white dish partly below the large bowlThe reddish-brown powder is a seasoning to add in small amounts. Ask the team to identify the blend and its chilli level; it is there to complement a bite, rather than to eat as a separate portion.
- Injera
- Rolled portions around the bowls and the large base underneathThe soft brown flatbread is used to gather small bites of the food. Start with one preparation at a time, then add a little cheese, greens or condiment to see which combinations you enjoy.

Found a warm atmosphere and fresh, flavourful food, especially the vegetarian platter served on injera.
YOUR FIRST FEW BITES
Settle in.
Take your time.
THE FEEL
Flavour & texture
Fine mince and larger meat pieces offer different textures, with crumbly cheese, cooked greens and soft injera between bites.
THE FIRST BITE
Start here
Ask the team to identify the yellow-seasoned dish and confirm the cooking level of both meat servings before ordering. Begin with a preparation you recognise, then try a little cheese and greens alongside it. Add the separate condiments only after tasting them in small amounts.
THE HOW
Make it your own
Pick up a little of one serving with folded injera. Taste each preparation separately before combining flavours, and ask the team about any unfamiliar ingredients.
A note on preparationConfirm how each meat serving is cooked. If you want fully cooked meat, tell the team before ordering.
