Yohannes Kitfo
A famous restaurant specializing in Gurage-style kitfo, available raw, medium-rare, or fully cooked, served with fresh cheese, greens, and kocho (false banana bread).
Focusing almost exclusively on kitfo, this is one of the most frequently mentioned kitfo specialty shops in the city, featuring authentic Gurage flavors. The minced beef can be ordered raw, medium-rare (lebleb), or fully cooked, accompanied by ayib (fresh cheese), gomen (stewed greens), and kocho bread made from false banana. One portion is often enough for two to three people to share, and a non-spicy version can also be made. This entry is for the Haya Hulet (22) branch; there is another branch in Bole Brass, so confirm the address before going. Guests who do not eat raw meat can order it fully cooked.
