Delish
5-Course Memories of Addis Ababa Tasting Event
This popular eatery, opened in 2019, has shown itself to be a scrappy survivor in today’s restaurant world. The secret? Superb dishes from a cuisine that demands discovery. Eater named Delish to its 2023 List of “38 Essential Restaurants in Seattle” while Infatuation placed it on its List of the city’s “11 Best Ethiopian Restaurants.” Delish is the brainchild of husband-wife team Delish and Amy Mulate, who serves as the head chef. Chef Amy, whose mom was among the best chefs in her Addis Ababa neighborhood, is drawing upon her family’s culinary traditions to turn out authentic and delicious dishes like miser wot (red lentils stewed with onion, garlic, and spicy herbs), kaye siir (beets and potatoes with minced onion and garlic), tibs (tender beef cubes sauteed with onions, garlic, jalapeno, and rosemary), and assa goulash (cubed tilapia with tomatoes, green pepper, and spices). Much of it is served on injera, a flatbread usually made from teff, a north African grain, that is often placed on the traditional mesob, a colorful round table woven from sweetgrass, which encourages communal dining. We’re excited to visit, to meet the Mulates, and to find out more about this important world cuisine!
