LeYou Ethiopian:Ethiopian cuisine in San Jose

📍 LeYou Ethiopian, San Jose 🌍For the main dish, you first choose the sauce flavor, which mainly falls into four categories: two types of slow-cooked dishes with different spices, one stir-fried category, and one with minced beef. Then you select the meat and vegetables to accompany it. The Ethiopian staple, Injera, is a fermented, sponge-like thin pancake that has a sour taste on its own. You tear off a piece of the pancake with your hands, wrap it around the meat and vegetables, and eat it. The spices in the sauce neutralize the sourness of the pancake. Ethiopian cuisine can be compared to Indian cuisine, but it's not as greasy, and it doesn't mix as many spices as Indian cuisine. Instead, it uses a smaller and more refined selection of spices, making the flavors more pronounced. 👉K‘ey Wot with Beef $16.95 Spicy, slow-cooked beef based on onions. It comes with a side of Atakilt, which has a good variety of ingredients and tastes like a stir-fry of tomatoes and cabbage, but the portion is a bit small. 👉Tibs with White Fish $14.95 The fish is stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, Jalapeño, and Awaze, and it's served with a refreshing Lemon Vinaigrette-dressed beetroot. ✨If you want to taste different stewed meats and vegetables, order the Combo. 1100 N 1st St Ste C San Jose, CA 95112 #San Jose#LeYou Ethiopian#Ethiopian cuisine#food diary
