I'm finally getting around to checking out more of the Ethiopian restaurant corridor in San Jose, with this one being a restaurant on the other end of San Carlos Street at the intersection of Bascom Avenue (2208 Business Circle, 408-772-9113).
We went for this two person meat and veggie combo, featuring beef, chicken, and lamb done in a tibs wot style. If I understood it correctly, that means that the meat is pan-seared first before being put into the traditional stew-like sauce. It tasted a bit like an Indian curry, but thicker and deeper without as much breadth. I particularly liked how the chicken was seared, and suspect it would be even better had we opted to pay a few bucks more for the option to make it less saucy. I loved the presence of those collard greens, lentils, and cabbage, and could have used more of that injera flatbread to mop it all up (although my hand skills need more work).
Next time I want to try some of the dryer styles like the grilled and sauteed varieties. It looks like they also serve breakfast from 9 AM - 3 PM, and that breakfast menu includes ful. These guys even have some platters named after some famous tech executives who have visited.
