Nestled in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa, Ethiopia and Eritrean Restaurant is a celebration of the rich culinary traditions and warm hospitality of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Our kitchen is a tapestry of aromatic stews (wats), tender grilled meats (tibs), and naturally fermented injera, the iconic sourdough flatbread that anchors every meal. Whether savoring the fiery depths of berbere spice in Doro Wat (chicken stew) or the earthy simplicity of Shiro (spiced chickpea puree), each dish tells a story of heritage and home. We proudly cater to diverse palates, offering an array of vegan and gluten-friendly options, ensuring everyone gathers around the mesob (traditional woven basket) in joy.
