beit é selam

The 20 Best Restaurants in Nairobi, Kenya | Eater

"The brainchild of Ethiopian entrepreneur and musician Zelalem Teklewold, this converted home transports customers to the Kenyan coast with its high arches, white-washed exteriors, and courtyard of climbing plants. Inside, Beit é Selam (which means “house of peace” in Amharic) draws diners in with gorgeous nooks to lounge in, decorated with books, paintings, and antiques from all over Africa. The dishes are largely Ethiopian fusion, ranging from kitfo tartare to berbere wings. The kitchen isn’t shy with spices, and dishes like the corn ribs can make a self-confessed carnivore seriously consider veganism." - Wendy Watta
