About Merkato's Yebeg Tibs

Yebeg (lamb) Tibs is a celebrated Ethiopian meat dish that showcases the bold, aromatic character of East African cooking. At Merkato, we use tender cuts of lamb that are marinated and then sautéed with a fragrant combination of green and red peppers, onions, fresh tomatoes, rosemary, and a blend of Ethiopian spices. The lamb is cooked to a perfect tenderness while retaining its natural richness.

Served on a bed of injera, Yebeg Tibs at Merkato Winnipeg is a flavourful, hearty dish that showcases why Merkato has been a Winnipeg staple for over two decades. The combination of tender lamb, aromatic spices, and the subtle tang of injera makes this one of our most memorable dishes. Highly recommended for special occasions and group meals.

"Merkato is my favourite restaurant in Winnipeg. Everything, from the decor and music, to the food, to the proprietress, perfectly emulates the style of a typical Ethiopian cafe. Never crowded, you won't be rushed as you select from an incredible variety of dishes. Serving sizes are large despite the inexpensive prices."

"We were served by the friendly owner of the restaurant, and he suggested the mixed platter, which had seven different dishes (three meat and four vegetable based). Eating Ethiopian style — no utensils, just hands aided by the spongy flatbread — was a fun and unique experience. The total bill was only $50 Cdn all in, so it certainly was good value."
