1. 01

   Read the dumpling filling

   Communion’s Dumplings combine spicy Laotian sausage and shrimp. Compare them with Shrimp Toast, whose listed focus is shrimp on fried focaccia with cilantro aioli.

2. 02

   Compare chicken with the mushroom route

   Grilled Chicken lists berbere sauce and lemon-herbed lentils. Mushroom Tibs instead pairs its sauce with black-eyed pea hummus: choose the accompaniment you prefer, not just the shared spice name.

3. 03

   Ask before assuming substitutions

   The official food page says dishes are served as-is and that onion and garlic allergies cannot be accommodated. Confirm restrictions before ordering rather than assuming an ingredient can be removed.

Names worth reading twice

Tibs

For this dish, the source specifies mushrooms braised in a berbere-based sauce; do not substitute a meat version from another menu.

Berbere

The menu uses this sauce or seasoning direction in both Mushroom Tibs and Grilled Chicken. It does not give a precise heat level for either.

Stuffed Trout

Here the filling includes shrimp, catfish and oysters; the trout name does not describe every seafood ingredient.
