Store the two injera on top for a base layer in a homemade sauté later that week. Uncover the final layer of injera to a heaping pile of flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth combinations of diced beef, lamb, lentils, cabbage, and more. Enjoy.

My partner got the Meat Option 2, which he liked but thought was a bit too spicy for him. I think if you are a meat eater but don't do spicy, your options might be a bit more limited. But otherwise I thought it was great and the right amount of spicy in my veggie combo. Service and Ambiance - N/A because take out but it was packaged well!

I usually get some of their dried sweets like orange peel, hibiscus, and ginger, and some cooling herbs in bulk.

The tomato chutney had a robust tomato-ginger flavor along with a blend of other spices that made it so tasty. And the sambar was seriously hearty -- loaded with opo squash, drumstick, and onions, way more substantial than the thin, watery sambar you sometimes get. It also had a nice bit of heat to it, which gave the whole thing a good kick. The coconut chutney and the red chutney were just okay, not really my favorites. Will be back for the dosa, sambar, and tomato chutney -- the sambar was so hearty that I'd honestly come back just to buy a container of it alone.

That pastéis de nata is an award-winning pastry. It was creamy inside and the crust outside gave more texture. It had a little hint of lemon/lime zest taste in there. Such a nice surprise for me. It's a take out place. A table with few chairs. Small and clean. The staff is efficient. If we ever get a chance to go back, I will definitely try other things.

Lands of Origin is a little more tucked away than a lot of the Pike Place stalls and is easy to miss if you're not looking closely. Since it's just a stall, there's no seating and you take your orders to-go. Perhaps I came too late in the day; it was around 3PM when I swung by the stall for a snack. The pastry dough was a little under-baked for my taste, and there was definitely not enough egg custard in the tart I tried -- not to mention the custard was totally caved in. I'd give it another go, maybe when they're a bit fresher.
