Go to any Ethiopian restaurant across the country and ask for a beyayenetu aka fasting platter... so many flavours in one meal 😋

I learnt that for almost 200 days of the year, people across Ethiopia fast - which basically means they eat no animal products. Vegans

Nifas Silk-Lafto

Travelers like the art galleries in Nifas Silk-Lafto, and Zoma Museum is a top attraction you might want to visit.
