About this spot
Toukoul serves bold Ethiopian stews that cut through Brussels' heavy meat-centric scene, featuring the region's signature spicy berbere spice blend. You'll find generous portions of misir wat lentils and doro wat chicken that are traditionally eaten with injera bread to soak up every savory drop.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order your injera flatbread fresh from the kitchen so it remains soft enough to scoop up the spicy stews without tearing.
- Expect a communal dining style where multiple dishes are shared across one large table rather than individual plates.
- Ask for extra shiro wat chickpea stew if you want a lighter, nuttier option to balance the heavier meat dishes.
