Because eating a new cuisine can be intimidating, Mudai Restaurant has created a comprehensive guide to explain to tentative diners what to expect while dining at this Ethiopian restaurant. This way, patrons know they'll get injera flatbread whether they order a kitfo (raw or rare beef marinated in a spicy chili powder and clarified butter) or lamb tibs (sautéed pieces of meat, often with vegetables). They'll also know that if they order the vegetarian-friendly gomen—chopped collard greens simmered in a mild sauce—they'll be eating something often prepared to celebrate a popular religious holiday known as Meskel.

Those who know all of that but still can't decide what to get might opt for a platter. Platters feature a choice of two meat and two vegetable dishes, and can feed four to five people or one giant looking for a quick snack.
