The artwork, the ambiance – it’s the feeling of dining in a family’s member’s home! That’s what Aunt Yvette’s Kitchen is all about.
The restaurant is bringing the flavors of Ethiopia to Eagle Rock. It’s a passion project for owners Yvette and Russell Platoff, who met more than two decades ago.
“I knew that she was my wife immediately… I knew that if I could just cook her a meal that was going to be it,” Russell said.
Since getting married, the couple has been cooking thousands of Ethiopian dishes together.
It’s a cuisine very important them.
“The moment I ate it I just felt like, a purpose. Something happened there. You’ll try food and something talks to you, just speaks to you. It’s in your spirit,” said Yvette.
Stew is a staple in the East African country, and their beef awaze is one of their best sellers and is simply a must-try. It includes tender brisket, jalapeño and onion.
Other hot items on the menu include the whole crispy trout. The Kitfo is an Ethiopian beef tartare served with ricotta cheese. A vibrant vegetable combo makes for a great shareable appetizer. Last, but not least, is the lamb stew, which is a delight.
