Don't sleep on Ethiopian food, the veggie dishes are delicious. The injera bread is my favorite part

    I don't think Ethiopian food gets the respect it deserves. There's a place I've been going to for years, pretty much always get lebleb tibs and that injera bread is so good. It's spongy and has a slight sour taste to it that's so good with the rest of the food.

    Its insane how many cultures are just not appreciated at all, I personally love Dominican food (I may be biased since I live in NYC) but also Albanian and Bosnian food. Hell most Americans dont even know what those countries are and almost certainly cant point them out on a map.

    Since you live in NYC and can get any food there, may I suggest to look for a good Indonesian place and go there? Especially if it's padang food I'd definitely give it a try. Outside of Indonesia and surroundings and the Netherlands it's quite unknown but also really delicious.

    Tbh I get most of my Ethiopian food from restaurants lol but I did some digging and found a few sources of teff. One is a specialty Ethiopian grocery store that also has fresh baked injera along with teff, there's some at a few co-ops, there's a couple imported goods grocery stores, and some of the fancy/expensive grocery stores list it on their website
