How nice would it be to have places like this in the States! Maybe one day!
What are you talking about? You're in San Diego now! There's a huge Ethiopian community down there, as there is here in San Jose. I live within 2 miles of seven Ethiopian restaurants. Check it out on Yelp.
Warning: don't expect grass fed meats, and don't expect a mostly-raw meal. Everything is served on
injera, a pancake made of a fermented ("sourdough") grain called
tef (no gluten) but mixed with wheat in many places. Ask about a tef-only injera if you go. Most of the dishes are cooked, but in more of a healthy way than American cuisine, more like pre-industrial farmhouse fare.
You can make something like
kitfo at home with ground beef and some major spices. You can find Ethiopian spices in Ethiopian grocery stores, which abound in US Ethiopian communities.
