Our Cuisine embraces the traditions of Ethiopia. We grind and blend our own spices to make a distinct dining experience. Spices are berbere, hot red pepper and a combination of 15 spices, awaze, a spicy red pepper sauce and metmeta, a hot chili sauce. All food is served on housemade injera, a soft, slightly tangy, spongy flat bread made from teff flour. We serve organic Yirgacheffe coffee that is hand roasted daily and tea grown in the Ethiopian highland region.
Our menu includes appetizers, lunch/dinner, beer and wine. Dine in or take out!
