The heady scent of incense slaps diners about the face as they enter the red glow of this space. Knives and forks are scarce; as per Ethiopian custom, food is scooped up with ripped bits of injera (a large, flat pancake). The menu ranges from spicy chicken stew and curried vegetables to lamb kebabs. An elaborately traditional post-meal coffee ceremony enhances the experience.

Dukem Restaurant
Authentic Ethiopian Cuisine

Dukem (pronounced DOOK-em) named after a small city found south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital.

The name "Dukem" brings memories of the best 'Tire Siga' (fresh raw meat) – a delicacy; it also brings up memories of holiday weekend travel as most families, friends stop by Dukem on the way back to Addis Ababa when they travel to the resort areas of Nazareth, Sodere, Langano and Awasa. It is with this tradition of Dukem city as a rest stop that Dukem Restaurant has been founded in Toronto.
