Injera in Oslo

On Sunday I was in Oslo to attend a cultural event and meet somebody I had only corresponded with through email.
On my way to the event, I suddenly saw a sign with RED SEA, which made me jump.
Then I saw it was a restaurant with Eritrean and Ethiopian food. I made a mental note that it would be interesting to go there for a visit one day.

Later that evening, as we walked along the street to find a place to eat, my companion took the chance when I suggested Ethiopian food.

So we ate INJERA and different vegetarian stews (WOT).
The Injera was not as sour as it often can be, and the stew not so hot as it can be. The injera was partly made with TEF.
It was a very pleasant experience for me, bringing back good memories.
Here is their visit card.

They had opened up two months ago.

Here are some explanations if you did not know the words I used above

A typical Ethiopian stew is the chicken stew - DORO WOT.

Looking for information about vegetarian Ethiopian cuisine, I found there is a vegan Ethiopian restaurant in Los Angeles......
