Located in the heart of the trendy Bole district, this spot offers a more accessible but equally authentic experience. It is famous for its high turnover, ensuring the meat is always exceptionally fresh and tender.
Tikus is the go-to for the iconic pairing of raw meat and Shiro (chickpea stew). While many places specialize in one, Tikus masters both, offering a balanced meal that is easier on the stomach for those new to raw meat.

Sardis is renowned for its strict hygiene standards and premium meat selection. It offers a slightly more 'sanitized' and comfortable environment compared to the traditional butcher-shop style of Yilma, making it a favorite for families.
