Leave the streets of Verona for an evening and immerse yourself in the scents and colours of the Horn of Africa. This experience, curated by Nomad in Ethiopia Tours at the Zigni Restaurant, turns a simple dinner into an authentic cultural journey.

With Abi, an expert and native Ethiopian guide, you'll discover that the cuisine of this land isn't just nourishment, but a powerful means of connection. You won't be just a customer at the table, but a guest who listens, tastes, and learns.

What's in store for you

The Bread that Unites (Injera): The heart of the dinner will be Injera, the spongy, fermented bread typical of Ethiopia that serves as both a plate and a utensil. You'll discover how it's used to collect the traditional dishes served in the centre, in a gesture of sharing that breaks down distances.

A Journey Through Flavours: You'll enjoy a selection of traditional stews and sauces, from spicy to more delicate flavours, perfect for accompanying Injera.

Travel Tales: While you dine, Abi will take you to the real Ethiopia with his words. You'll hear stories about the tribes of the Omo Valley, anecdotes about local life, and fun facts that only those born there can know. It's the perfect time to ask questions and dream about your next adventure.

The Origin of Coffee: Did you know that coffee was born in Ethiopia? The evening will culminate with the traditional coffee service poured from the Jebena, the typical clay carafe. Abi will tell you the legend of Kaldi and why, for Ethiopians, coffee (“Buna”) is much more than a drink: it's a symbol of peace and friendship.

This experience is ideal for those looking for something more than an ethnic dinner: it's a guided cultural immersion, perfect for couples, friends, and curious travellers.
