Meskerem — Restaurant in Zurich

The owner/waiter was super nice and made what he called a special dish for me because I didn't eat spicy food. Sadly though the meat was super hard/chewy and the dish tasted like someone poured a whole container of salt into it. In their defense, I know nothing about Ethiopian food and maybe this is normal.

Thanks for the warm and friendly...
