Ethiopian food from Cafe Lalibela in Tempe, Arizona has been popular enough that for more than 10 years the cuisine of this African nation has found a home here in Arizona. Unfortunately for us the 3 Ethiopian restaurants I know of in Arizona are all located in the south valley. We have tried Blue Nile Cafe east of Lalibela on University Avenue and love their cooking too, but have yet to try Tina’s Ethiopian Cafe in Chandler. Caroline and I first became acquainted with the cuisine of Ethiopia at a restaurant in Frankfurt about 15 years ago, and we have continued enjoying this finger food ever since. This was my mother-in-law’s first taste of an African cooking style and hopefully not her last as she seemed to enjoy it as much as Caroline and I.
