Frequently asked questions

A large part of Ethiopian cuisine is naturally vegan – especially during the fasting periods. At Lalibela we offer many vegan and vegetarian dishes as well as gluten-free injera on request – just ask us.

Injera is an airy, slightly sour sourdough flatbread made from teff flour. It serves as plate and cutlery in one – dishes are served on top of it and eaten by hand.

Teff is naturally gluten-free. We bake injera in two versions: from pure teff and with wheat flour. If you want or need to eat gluten-free, please speak to our staff – we will then serve you the gluten-free injera.
