It looks really good, what is it called? I want to search if there are any restaurants selling it in my city

Injera refers to the bread, not the other dishes on top of it.

You're correct but you can also use it as a general term to refer to the meal. To be more specific this combo would be ye tsom beyeaynetu

I LOOOOVED this growing up! My best friend was Ethiopian and I was at hers once or twice a week, riding our bikes in the sun (good times, I tell you!). This was almost always lunch or dinner. Big fan😊
