Altu`s Dinner Menu

Chicken
1. Spicy Chicken Stew (see photo at right)...$9.99
This is something of a "national dish" in Ethiopia, a spicy thick sauce with dark berbere spice and a touch of tomato.

2. Mild Chicken Stew...$9.99
Caramelized onions are the basis of this delicious sauce.

17. Breast Chicken Strips (Mild or Medium Spiced)...$11.50

Beef & Lamb
3. Spicy Sirloin Meat Stew...$10.25
A flavorful sauce spiced with berbere, richly spicy.

4. Mild Sirloin Meat Stew (photo at right)... $10.25
Mild but not boring, chunks of meat in savory sauce.

5. Spicy or Mild Sirloin Meat with Mixed Vegetables (see 3rd photo, top left item)...$11.00
Try this one on a bed of rice rather than bread if you are looking for something mild and familiar. Very satisfying.

6. Spicy or Mild Lamb Meat...$11.50
Our lamb is halal-processed, high quality meat with rich sauce, flavored your way.

7. Meat & Chicken Combo...$11.50

8. Beef or Chicken with any Vegetarian Specials...$11.50

19. Beef in Spicy Chickpea Sauce...$9.99

Vegetarian Specials
9. Spicy Lentils...$7.99
A favorite in Ethiopia, with a complex set of flavors... not just spice, real depth.

10. Mild Split Yellow Peas...$7.99
Another good choice for those wanting a familiar and mild dish. Satisfying and filling.

11. Whole White Peas & Potatoes...$7.99

12. Spicy Pinto Beans...$7.99
These are not like any other Pintos you have tried, richly layered with Altu`s rich flavorings and traditional berbere spice.

13. Mild Lima Beans (see photo at right)...$7.99
This one you will not find in Ethiopia, it`s Altu`s special recipe. Mild and creamy, not grainy like the limas of your past. Regular customers come back for these repeatedly, you must try them yourself.

14. Spicy Ground Peas...$7.99
This smooth-textured specialty starts with chickpeas ground into flour, spiced and flavorful.

15. Vegetarian Combo (see photo at right)...$8.99
(Any four items from #9 to #14)

16. Spicy Ground Peas Mixed with Greens...$8.99
Take #14 above and blend with Altu`s collard greens for a delightful change of pace.

18. Mild Garlic Lentils (formerly Saturday Special)...$7.99
These are so popular that we added them to the every-day menu. Delicious!
