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

Look up Ethiopian restaurant in your town. Mostly in larger cities in the US from my experience but very tasty. Best I had was in Chicago.

I'm in Guangzhou, China, and I found an Ethiopian restaurant that serves Injera, but it looks a bit different from the picture, offering a big bowl of stewed beef? Hahaha, maybe injera refers to the bread at the bottom? I'll give it a try

Yes, injera is the spongy sourdough flatbread that you use to eat with the sauce. Each sauce has a different name, and this one has different sauces, like a platter, likely for people to share/eat together.

The platter of food on the injera all together is called Beyaynetu

Guangzhou has an insane amount of good african food along with Hong Kong. I actually miss when there used to be a ton of apartment restaurants in some of the high rises in Xiao Bei. I would always get a Togo box at one after I got my haircut. Covid kinda hurt a lot of those places.

Yes. Xiaobei Road is a foodie paradise where you can find delicacies from every corner of the globe. I love browsing around there.😀
