Serengeti

I’ve walked up and down this street many times before I realized there’s an Ethiopian/​African place hidden among the shops. The décor inside is great! It’s two stories with the upper floor offering a large private table maybe for a birthday etc. Downstairs, I saw musical instruments and the owner mentioned they have live music sometimes. We were there on a Sunday night, so there wasn’t music.
The menu is Ethiopian, but offers other African dishes like Foufou or Mozambique samosas! I was also told that they can make Mozambique specialties if you arrange it beforehand, sounds intriguing! We ordered a meat mix with the extra chicken, a vegeterian mix, and kitfo tartaar. I was surprised by the injera… I normally think it’s a bit too sour for me and the sauces balance it out, but this one was very tasty on its own! From the other dishes, I liked Zigni on the meat platter the most. The sauce was very flavorful! The other dishes were a bit bland for me, could use a little more punch :)
The service was very friendly, but at times a bit slow… for example, we asked for the spicy powder for the kitfo but had to wait quite a bit before we got it, so we ate a lot of it without it (you should definitely eat it WITH the powder!). We also were unlucky with the wine — it was not good at all. They were surprised when we told them and ended up just charging us for a half bottle. The honey wine on the other hand was very nice. The other issue we had was that we had a vegetarian with us and they mixed up the samosas so the one they told him is for him was actually chicken. He was not pleased at all! We asked them to replace it with a vegetarian one, but they charged us for the extra one.
I’ve had a lot of Ethiopian and for me it was good but not amazing… and I’d like to come back and try more of it, also when their main chef is working to see if he can blow my mind :) They told us about a spicy green sauce for next time? I think you should swing by and experience it! The owners/​staff are super nice and the atmosphere is also quite cozy and stands out in the neighborhood. I will write an update once I’ve experienced more of their menu.
