Tihlo () is a dish from the historical Agame province in Tigray, often served as a snack, that consists of barley dough balls covered with meat and berbere-based sauce. Tihlo is commonly consumed as a side dish or snack, especially in Tigrayan communities.

The dough is then broken into small balls and laid out around a bowl of spicy meat stew. A two-pronged wooden fork known as a () is used to spear the ball and dip it into the stew.
Tihlo is commonly served on cultural holidays.
