It begins with the roasting of green ethiopian coffee beans in the kitchen. The smoking pan of aromatic beans is then brought to your table to thrill your senses. The coffee is served from a jebena (clay pot) and poured into sinis (small traditional coffee cups), while we burn frankincense at your table. This is served with ambasha, a pan-cooked Ethiopian bread
