Habesha

Nairobi


Habesha is a favourite among Ethiopian cuisine enthusiasts. Let the aromas of frankincense and Ethiopian coffee waft around you as you devour traditional dishes in a rustic setting. Favourites include shiro tegamino (made of dried legumes), shekla tibs (pan-fried goat meat with rosemary) and for the more adventurous, kitfo (raw minced meat with spiced butter).
