What’s injera?!

We’ve received lots of questions asking what that spongy bread thing at the bottom of our dishes is and we are here to give you all the answers ❤️

That spongy tangy roll you see is called injera and is a traditional Ethiopian flatbread with a slightly tangy flavor, made from fermented teff flour.

It’s typically used as both a plate and utensil, with various stews and dishes served on top.

Now, how do you eat with it?! Simply tear off pieces of injera to scoop up the food ❤️

Now, we’d love to know, have you tried injera before?!

Did you know plenty of Ethiopian dishes are naturally very vegan-friendly?

Our traditional dishes are all plant-forward, yet extremely unique in flavor that everyone will find something they love ❤️

It’s Thursday which basically means it’s Friday and you deserve a drink for that 🫶🏽

Try one of our hit cocktails, the FIG FIG BANG BANG: infused vodka, mezcal, black cherry juice, lemon, agave

You deserve it 😉

Something new is coming… 😉

Take your guesses, what kind of sandwich do we have going on here?!

ATTENTION TOFU LOVERS:

What exactly is Azifa?

Azifa is a tantalizing blend of pureed green lentils, vibrant jalapeño, ripe tomato, and aromatic onion, all elevated with a zesty kick of wasabi powder. This fusion creates a rich, creamy texture with a bold, spicy punch.

It is enjoyed best as a starter for the table 🌿 if you’ve never tried Azifa before, let us show you what it’s all about ❤️

Ras Special Tibs 🌿

Try this mouthwatering dish: tender sautéed seitan paired with juicy tomatoes and crisp onions, all smothered in a spicy, zesty berbere sauce with a kick of jalapeño. Each bite offers a vibrant blend of flavors and a perfect balance of heat and tanginess!

A traditionally non-vegan dish made vegan and we know you will absolutely love it—vegan or not!

🌿Our tried and true platters🌿

Ethiopian food is a vibrant fusion of bold, spicy flavors and unique textures, centered around the tangy, spongy injera (or rice) and complemented by rich stews and hearty dishes that reflect a deep cultural heritage.

Our platters reflect this in a plant forward manner and are a vibrant and flavorful tapestry of tastes and textures.

Each features a rich blend of spices creating dishes with complex and earthy notes. Each bite is an experience of communal warmth and culinary tradition. And each platter offers its own highlight of Ethiopian flavors and spice that everyone would find something they enjoy!

Come join us at our table 🌿
