You step through a low-lit doorway and the first thing that reaches you is sound: the steady pulse of djembe drums, a welcome that presses against the hush of the street outside. Warm spices ride the air—cinnamon, turmeric, berbere—each scent a geographic pointer across the continent. Tables are set for sharing; the service moves like a practiced drum rhythm, bringing course after course meant to be sampled together.
