Discover the Bold Flavors of Ethiopia – Right Here in Brooklyn

At Bati, our menu is deeply rooted in tradition, using time-honored cooking methods and bold East African spices to bring every dish to life. Some of our most beloved meat dishes include:
Doro Wat (Doro Wett) – Often called the national dish of Ethiopia, this spicy chicken stew is slow-cooked in berbere, onions, garlic, and niter kibbeh (Ethiopian spiced clarified butter). Served with a hard-boiled egg and injera, it’s as comforting as it is fiery.

Kitfo – A flavorful minced beef dish traditionally served raw (or lightly cooked upon request), Kitfo is seasoned with mitmita and enriched with spiced butter. A must-try for meat lovers and Ethiopian food enthusiasts.

Tibs  – Sizzling cubes of marinated beef or lamb, pan-seared with garlic, onions, and peppers. A guest favorite — especially on Tibs Tuesdays, when we celebrate this iconic dish with special offerings and house-made sauces.

These dishes and more showcase the diversity of Ethiopian meat-based cuisine, pairing well with both traditional drinks and modern twists.
