Rice & kitfo platter
Rice, minced beef & egg-topped bites
Photographed sharing guide
A varied spread of yellow rice, meat, kitfo, egg-topped bites, salad 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?
Kitfo is seasoned minced beef. Our Kitfo Special pairs it with cooked greens and fresh cheese. This photograph also includes rice, browned meat, egg and salad; ask the team about those extra sides rather than assuming they all come with Kitfo Special.
A closer look at each part
- Kitfo
- Red minced serving at the centreKitfo is finely minced, seasoned beef. Its fine texture is different from the larger browned meat pieces around it. The cooking level is a choice to discuss before ordering; colour in a photograph is not a reliable guide.
- White cheese with greens
- Rounded topping on the kitfoThe white-and-green mound appears to combine crumbly cheese with finely chopped cooked greens. Try a small amount alongside the kitfo, or taste it separately first to understand the contrast.
- Yellow rice
- Two portions, on the left and rightIndividual grains of bright yellow rice form a base for the browned meat. A little rice with one cooked meat piece is a familiar starting point. Ask the team about the rice seasoning rather than judging it by colour.
- Browned meat pieces
- On top of the riceThe larger cooked-looking pieces give a firmer bite than the minced centre. Small red vegetable pieces are mixed in. Ask which meat and preparation will come with your order.
- Scrambled egg and golden bites
- At the top right and bottomSoft yellow egg sits over irregular golden pieces, with chopped onion and green pieces scattered through. The golden pieces may be seasoned flatbread; ask the team to identify them and confirm the preparation.
- Chopped salad
- Between the rice and egg servingsLettuce, cucumber and tomato bring a fresh, crunchy contrast to the egg, rice and meat. You can try a small salad bite on its own before returning to the more richly seasoned parts.
- Injera
- Folded portions around the rim and the base underneathThis soft, spongy flatbread can be torn into small pieces to gather kitfo, cheese or sides. A spoon or fork is also useful for the rice. There is no need to combine every component at once.

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
Soft minced meat, separate grains of rice, firmer cooked meat, fluffy egg and crisp salad.
THE FIRST BITE
Start here
Start with a little rice and fully cooked meat, then try the egg and salad separately. For the kitfo, discuss your preferred cooking level before ordering. When it is served as agreed, try a small bite with injera, then add some of the topping.
THE HOW
Make it your own
Use small pieces of injera to scoop the kitfo and sides, or use cutlery for the rice. Try a little of each at your own pace.
A note on preparationKitfo may be offered raw or cooked. If you prefer fully cooked beef, say so when ordering and confirm that preparation is available.
