Did you know?

Injera

The traditional Eritrean and Ethiopian flatbread, made from teff, the smallest grain in the world, and naturally fermented over several days. The dishes are laid on top and you tear off pieces to scoop them up.

Gursha

“Mouthful”. Feeding a piece of injera by hand to the person next to you is a gesture of friendship at the heart of every meal. Give gursha a try!

Buna

“Coffee”. The beans are roasted in front of you, ground by hand, then slowly brewed in the jebena. Served in three rounds, each stronger than the last.
