Ethiopian cuisine’s magic lies in its spices — complex, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. At Cottage House Ethiopian Cuisine, our chefs carefully blend these spices to create dishes that awaken your senses and transport you to Ethiopia’s heartland.
Berbere: The Soul of Ethiopian Flavor
No spice defines Ethiopia like berbere — a mix of chili peppers, garlic, ginger, fenugreek, and other seasonings. It gives dishes like Doro Wot and Miser Wot their deep red color and bold taste.
Niter Kibbeh: Ethiopia’s Golden Secret
We prepare our own niter kibbeh — a clarified butter infused with herbs and spices — to add richness to stews, meats, and lentil dishes.
Fresh Ingredients, Authentic Taste
Our spices are imported directly from Ethiopia, while our produce and meats are sourced locally for freshness and sustainability.
