"The setting and ambience is bizarre. But the food is very much worth it. We have an excellent Ethiopian place to call home here in Chicago and of the dozen or so others i've tried, this one is the only one to rival it".

Something about Ethiopian Food and Culture
Ethiopian food is eaten with fingers because it is tasteful and intimate. Traditionally, in Ethiopia, one does not eat food alone or in a separate plate. Ethiopians say, "Food tastes better when it is eaten together." Therefore, food is generally eaten in a group setting, around a wide serving basket (mesob), feeding not only oneself but also hand-feeding one another, (giving "gursha"), especially guests, as an expression of love and hospitality.
