Experience True East African Flavors
Savor traditional East African meals crafted with organic herbs and rich spices. Taste of Habesha brings the heart of East Africa to southern Virginia with every bite.

TENDER. FLAVORFUL. DELICIOUS.
Shekla Tibs arrives at the table still sizzling, releasing a smoky perfume of seared beef, caramelized onions, garlic, and slow-building Ethiopian spices that instantly pulls everyone’s attention toward it. Tender strips of meat glisten in a rich, fiery berbere-infused sauce, each bite balancing heat, earthiness, and buttery richness with almost addictive depth.
The onions melt into the dish like velvet, while green peppers add bursts of sweetness and char. Scooped up with soft, tangy injera, the tibs become even more indulgent — juicy, spicy, and deeply savory, with the kind of warmth that lingers pleasantly long after the last bite. It’s not just a meal; it’s the kind of dish that makes conversation pause for a moment after the first taste.

Welcome to East Africa
RICH. SAVORY. MELT-IN-YOUR MOUTH.
Awaze Tibs is pure Ethiopian fire and seduction on a plate — tender cubes of beef drenched in a bold awaze sauce that clings to every edge like molten velvet. The aroma hits first: smoky berbere, toasted garlic, ginger, and the deep, fermented richness of Ethiopian mustard and the perfect heartwarming blend of spices.
