The "market" is just a bookshelf, stocked with spaghetti and spices, bag of ingredients most interesting. If I were a better cook...okay a competent cook at least, I'd want to buy and try.
Instead, we let them cook for us, this lovely, kind, welcoming family, and it is the kind of food a friend would serve you if they wanted to treat you, to warm your soul after a difficult week.
Kitfo is barely-cooked beef, though we opt for medium rare. The butter and the herbs bring out the gamey, beef savor, with dots of cottage cheese adding those rich, milky notes.
Jalapenos give Nech Ribeye Tibs some spice. Onion is aromatic and garlic gets some attitude. The bits of beef are tender, and the sauce soaks deep into the injera.
Great food at a super-casual quick-lunch cafe. It's a hole in the wall for sure, and it happens to be next door to the South Bay's best cheesecake. Come one and come all for a most satisfying sequence of food and sweets.
