AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
“This is the infamous tere siga, raw beef. It's sliced into cubes and served as is. The first big bite was intense — holy smoke. Some pieces are tender, some are really chewy. It tastes a little irony, but it's so delicious. I'm told the lean meat is safer to eat. I dip it in the sauce with berbere spices, which makes it more tasty after a while. Not spicy.”
