About 70 people at the event.\n\nYou know you ain't eating at a normal place when the first thing they give you when you walk in is a few shots from a hand sanitizer container !\n\nThe meal is basically served on a platter - there are about 5 different \"stews\" made with different meats ( lamb, chicken, pork beef ) small salads, lentils and a basket of rolled up geez, i guess we'll call them pancake/ crepes that you use to scoop up the plattered stews.\n\nprior to the platter, they serve you an appetizer that after taking a bite i forgot how to breathe for about 3 seconds - it was a chili filled with lord knows what - one bite and my mouth and throat went numb from the heat !! a gallon water later - i survived !\n\ni even tried one of the stews that was actually raw lamb - called gored or goret - it was a little too chewy for me, but not bad and my stomach survived that experience.\n\nThe meal ended with a ceremony prior to serving a very, very, very strong coffee - a little sugar and it was ok by me.\n\nA nice change of pace. the owner and staff are very accommodating and very receptive to sharing the culture and food of Ethiopia."^^ . .
