About Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant:

Lalibela, Which Opened in 1999, Serves A Collection of Home-Cooked Ethiopian Dishes, Many Reminiscent in Spicing and Presentation To Indian Curries. Its Current Chef-Owner, Shilmat Tessema, Took Over the Kitchen A Little Over A Year Ago. She Retained the Brief Menu As She Found It, Preparing the Dishes As She Learned in Ethiopia, and Occasionally Compromising Authenticity for Her American Audience, Replacing Bone-In With Boneless Chicken, for Example. Vegetables and Legumes Are Prominent in the Cuisine, and Lalibela Offers Both Meat and Vegetarian Dishes.the Centerpiece of an Ethiopian Meal Is Injera, A Flatbread That Looks Like A Large, Thin, Spongy Crepe. Traditionally Made With Ground Teff (A Grain Native To Ethiopia) and Served At Room Temperature, Injera Has A Fermented Taste That Grows On You, Even If Its Charms Are Not Immediately Apparent. in A Phone Conversation, MS. Tessema Told ME That in New Haven She Has Had To Adapt Her Injera Recipe, by Adding A Percentage of Wheat Flour, To Get the Right Texture.
