Private jet menu for Semera

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Semera departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenEthiopia

To start
Doro Wot Canapés
Slow-braised spiced chicken in a berbere-and-niter-kibbeh reduction, served on small rounds of teff injera with a hard-boiled quail egg. A composed introduction to the Afar table.
Cold main
Highland Lentil and Vegetable Platter
Misir wot of red lentils cooked with onion, garlic and berbere, alongside gomen of wilted collard greens, presented cold with a side of rolled injera for service at cabin temperature.
Hot main
Lamb Tibs with Spiced Rice
Tender cubes of highland lamb sautéed with rosemary, jalapeño and onion, finished with a clean pan jus, served alongside fragrant long-grain rice seasoned with turmeric and cardamom.
Morning
Ethiopian Coffee and Honey Breakfast Board
A morning selection built around the region's own coffee culture: freshly brewed Harar-style coffee, injera with wild honey, a soft-boiled egg, sliced fruit and a small pot of spiced yoghurt.
Pâtisserie
Teff and Date Financiers
Small brown-butter cakes made with teff flour and pressed Deglet Nour dates, lightly sweetened and baked to a moist crumb. A quiet nod to the landscape without overstatement.
To finish
Spiced Poached Pear with Cardamom Cream
Firm pear halves poached in a syrup of Ethiopian honey, clove and black cardamom, served chilled with a quenelle of lightly whipped cream. Clean, composed, and well-suited to altitude.

Private aviation catering at SZE

Semera sits in the Afar Region of northeastern Ethiopia, a landscape of volcanic lowlands and the great Rift Valley escarpment. It is a frontier posting in every sense — logistically demanding, climatically uncompromising, and precisely the kind of environment where disciplined catering preparation makes the difference between a functional departure and a forgettable one. Our sourcing network reaches into the Ethiopian highlands, drawing on the country's deep agricultural tradition: teff-based preparations, spiced lentil dishes, injera where appropriate, and the rich coffee culture that Ethiopia gave the world. Given the distances involved, orders are consolidated and dispatched on a carefully planned schedule to ensure nothing arrives anything less than fresh and galley-ready.

Regional Catering Menu · Semera

Semera inflight catering

Ethiopian cuisine offers a genuinely distinctive direction for cabin menus — slow-cooked wots rich with berbere and niter kibbeh, tibs of tender lamb or beef, and the clean brightness of gomen, all plated and portioned to perform at altitude without losing their character. We treat these not as novelties but as serious culinary anchors for passengers who appreciate the region they are departing from. For those who prefer a more continental profile, our kitchen produces cold platters, charcuterie boards, and hot mains calibrated to long-haul comfort — light enough for a pressurised cabin, substantial enough for a flight that covers serious distance. Kosher catering is available with a minimum twenty-four-hour lead time. All orders travel in temperature-controlled packaging and are handed directly to your handling agent on the apron.
