Post #2 - March 13th, 2018, 12:04 pmI've really been enjoying the chilaquiles at Chavas on Grand. Not too far east of there is Uncle Mike's (Filipino), which is a board favorite.

I'm partial to the "eggs with meat". Very simple but flavorful. Basically scrambled eggs with tibs-like beef. The niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter) makes everything taste wonderful. Service is also very warm, and includes tea. I think I have a pic. Will see if I can figure how to post it.Eggs And Meat, Tesfa

Post #8 - March 17th, 2018, 11:04 amAlthough I just posted this on another thread http://lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=44265
it belongs on this as well. Behold the Komplet Lepina aka flatbread w/everything, like an eggs benedict on steroids, sub Serbian cream cheese for eggs, w/pork fat and trimmings involved, stuffed into flatbread and baked to supreme gooeyness @ Astoria Cafe and Bakery

This morning, a friend and I split a few items, the eggs with meat being one of them. REALLY tasty! Thanks for recommending.
Also tried starter of fatira - bread baked with spiced ground meat filling - these were so-so as the bread is not rich, crust not crusty/crisp and filling not abundant.
Fol (Smashed and flavored chickpeas cooked with onion and garlic in vegetable oil) were quite good and had nice heat. We also enjoyed this dish.
Side note, Tefsa doesn't open until 11am so this was actually a brunch for me, really can't call it breakfast when that late
I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be.

I dig Tesfa for breakfast, typically order Inqulal Be-Avocado (eggs w/avacado). This is a deceptively hearty dish, especially when eaten with included injera. If you like a little heat ask for berbere or mitmita (spicier than berbere).Inqulal Be-Avocado (eggs w/avacado)

Uncle Mike's is my all-around favorite breakfast in the city - can't recommend it highly enough! For a first timer, I'd recommend the combo longanisa + tocino breakfast plate. Although you can't go wrong w/ the skirt steak either.

Also worth noting that while their lunch menu is Caribbean influenced, their breakfast menu is decidedly "American." Pretty much just omelets, eggs, home fries, pancakes, and the like.
