About Us
Dining in Ethiopia is characterized by the ritual breaking of injera and eating from the same plate, signifying the bonds of loyalty and friendship. These bonds are often demonstrated in the form of gurrsha – that is the placing of food in the mouth of another diner from one's own hand. Here at Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant, our injera is made from self-rising wheat flour and teff flour (Teff is a grain native to Ethiopia). Our mothers and grandmothers never used baking powder, baking soda or processed yeast in making injera. At Ethiopian Diamond we strictly follow this old tradition. At Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant all dishes are free from artificial coloring, artificial flavoring and artificial preservatives. We use vegetable oil in all vegetarian dishes, No butter, no eggs, no milk, no honey!
