About Our Shiro

Shiro is one of Ethiopia's most beloved comfort foods, cherished for its creamy texture and rich, savory flavor. At Horeb Restaurant, we prepare this vegetarian staple using ground chickpeas (or fava beans) mixed with berbere spice and other traditional seasonings.

The dish is slow-cooked until it reaches a smooth, velvety consistency that's incredibly satisfying. Shiro is seasoned with berbere spice, garlic, and onions, creating a depth of flavor that makes it a favorite even among meat-lovers.

Served traditionally with fresh injera, Shiro is perfect as a standalone dish or as part of our Beyaynetu platter. It's an excellent choice for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking for a hearty, protein-rich meal.
