Majit Restaurant serves authentic traditional Ethiopian food, and the vegan fasting platter with over 17 dishes was incredibly flavorful and healthy.
Dishes mentioned
Shiro
This shiro starts with a base of sautéed onions and garlic, then they add a chickpea powder that's already premixed with all the spices including the berbere. It's really popular here in Ethiopia and it's one of the 17 dishes we're having today.
Injara
The injara is surprisingly delicious just by itself. It's very sour from the fermentation process, and it's like a little blanket. It's gluten-free and really high in nutrients, iron, and protein. I love it.
Chickpea Fish (Shukra Asa)
This chickpea fish is a little bit sweet and so flavorful. They shape it like a fish to replace fish during fasting days, and it's served in a tomato sauce. I really like it.
Stuffed Pepper
This stuffed pepper is delicious but seriously hot. It's stuffed with tomato sauce and it made me cry. I can barely talk after eating it, but it's really good.
Gusha
This gusha is a medley mix of all the different dishes, served in a basket. It's a custom here in Ethiopia where the owner feeds you to make sure you're full. It's a way of showing love and affection.
