Enat Souk

Pretty crammed. Great place for spices and there was a lot of stuff I couldn't find at Whole Foods or PCC (teff flour anyone?). Lots of bulk items. Pretty crammed, but it's a great resource for anyone looking for African cooking staples.

Incredible injera. Amazing selection of hard to find Ethiopian staples like Niter Kibbeh and fenugreek and berbere. They even have green (unroasted) coffee beans!

We love Ethiopian food. A lot. When we are feeling creative and non-lazy (not very often), we will visit the Souk for some cooking supplies. The store is small and unassuming. You can drive by it easily. It has a small parking lot (5 spots) that fills and empties rapidly as people dash in for their injera. I have an aversion to entering a place where I cannot see into their windows (covered with music posters, cigarette ads), but our friends at Enat (Ethiopian place a block away) told us this was the place they buy their supplies from.When you're here, you buy their lentils (tiny split red ones, medium orange ones, large yellow ones that I can never get to freaking cook properly despite hours of soaking and crockpot, grrr), spices (chai blend, cinnamon, yellow curry-like, white crumbly thickener, spicy red stuff), and of course injera. A pack holds several large rounds and it's always fresh and warm. How? But they always have it and people are always coming in to buy it for the week. They sell other items like canned tomatoes, honey, cookies, drinks, etc. You will often find local people just chatting with the single cashier. It's really a neighborhood joint and we like that. Plus, they are happy to answer our questions about food. :) Everyone is so nice.Everything is so very cheap here. We've taken to using these spices in our regular cooking too!

I bought 25 lb teff which I was told as imported from Ethiopia. We used to have some brought to us directly from Ethiopia before and this was nothing like I know of the taste...totally different. I am hesitant to say Enat has the genuine teff, and that is why I gave this rating.

This store is THE place to find all things Ethiopian. They carry fresh injera- including gluten free, along with niter kibeh, and all the necessary spices for Ethiopian cooking. Visit the restaurant if you have no time to cook for yourself; Enat restaurant is the best place for vegan Ethiopian in all of Seattle.

Really like this little market. Great place to get Ethiopian supplies like injera and spices. Friendly staff. The building is a little worn down but it has a friendly staff. Great spice mixes. Lots of Lenten foods to try if you're Orthodox. Great place to stock up for the fast.

Best injera I've ever had. I had the 100% teff flour style and they were spongy, slightly sour and perfect . Thank you!

This is a great place! Great selection in a well organized market. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Love this place!

Yummy injera and great owners! They have Quanta for sale (Ethiopian beef jerky) and Halva (African dessert). It's very sweet and taste like crumbly brown sugar. Exotic drinks like guava and mango in the fridge. Super tiny.

Looks very shady from outside. Does not feel like a grocery store at all. It is a tiny hole in the wall kind of place. But boy oh boy..it has all the spices (Bessobella, Kosheret, Misir, Abish, Shiro, Berbere, Mitmita, Niter Kibbeh, ...) and goodies you need to make something Indian and or Ethiopian. I was mighty impressed! They even carry fresh warm Teff injeras. Items are moderately priced. If you are serious about Ethiopian cooking, you may want to make a trip here. I Highly recommend it. Just ignore the look and feel of the shop, rest all is great! By the way, this store is TOTALLY different from Enat Ethiopian Restaurant near Green Lake. They just happen to share the names. It is in fact walkable from Jebena Cafe.
