Tigi's Ethopian - Ellicott City

My first experience with Ethiopian cuisine couldn't have been better. I loved the variety of fillings available for the injera; they were all delightful. The sambusa was also delicious, especially paired with the green sauce.

The food was quite good, but it took a long time to arrive, and when it finally did, it was only tepid. I'm not sure why it took so long to prepare.

I ordered the sampler from the vegan menu and it was delightful. It was quite a lot of food; I ended up with two meals. The food was prepared very quickly. What a great restaurant! As for the takeout experience, I received my order in a plastic bag, which was handed over without any issues. The meal came in a plastic container, but it didn’t have any recycling number to indicate the type of plastic used—just a standard labeled food container.

Excited to have this solid Ethiopian restaurant nearby. Our party had a mix of vegan and meat dishes. Everything was tasty. Cardamom tea and mango drink were nice dinner accompaniments. Tigi was welcoming. We'll be back!

It's nice that this restaurant caters to vegans. I ate here for an organized group meal. I was a bit disappointed as I found most things to be too spicy. Also the salads were not made with fully ripe ingredients (the tomatoes were a sort of pale reddish), the food had a piece of plastic stuck in it, and the ambiance left a lot to be desired. They did offer a big variety of things on this special menu, however.
