World Marathon Ethiopian Restaurant is a combination of pungent and warm spices from all over Ethiopia which are delicately blended to create the dishes we present to you. Each dish has its own distinctive flavor and aroma thanks to the fresh spices that are prepared every day for each individual dish. The blending and preparation of fresh spices is a centuries-old, rigorous craft indispensable to Ethiopian culture.
Our presentations, as we prefer to call our dishes, are rooted in the soil of Ethiopia and are authentically prepared in our restaurant, exactly as in our homes. We hope you will find this a truly different and exciting dining experience. In Ethiopian culture breaking the same bread and eating from the same plate has a crucial social significance. It strengthens the bonds of friendship and personal loyalty. In our culture, it is said that people who eat from the same plate will never betray one another. The cuisine of Ethiopia is based on an exotic blend of spices both full-bodied and tantalizing. To help you make a choice, we offer these descriptions. Apart of every entrée is the traditional bread of Ethiopia, Injera. This large flat, slightly tangy pancake is both the serving platter and your utensil when eating Ethiopian style. Break a small piece of Injera and place it on the stew of your choice while simultaneously pinching it with your fingers to pick up the amount you desire. The bread can also be used to soak up the savory sauce that is essential to every dish.
