Teshomech Kitfo House
ተሾመች ክትፎ ቤት
Hidden down an unpaved lane in Wollo Sefer, Teshomech is the definition of a well-kept local secret: a no-frills house where regulars swear the buttery, mitmita-laced kitfo — served with ayib cheese and gomen — beats every famous name in town. Zero tourist polish, maximum flavor.
☀️ Local tip
Order kitfo 'leb leb' (lightly warmed) unless you're ready for fully raw; go at lunch and ask a local or ride-hailing driver to help find the lane.
