Luckily, pretty much the only Ethiopian dining option in Baltimore is also dependable, affordable, and delicious. Large parties or bottomless stomachs can order multiple full-sized portions of the entrées, from tibs (cubed lamb marinated in a piquant sauce) to vegetarian fare, but solitary diners and the normal appetite can savor the combination samplers, which can include a tibs item and a wot (stew), plus veggies. Carnivores should definitely check out the minchet abesh, ground beef sizzled in ginger and garlic.
