Is Ethiopian and Eritrean food naturally vegan?

A large part of it is. Because Orthodox fasting removes all animal products for roughly 200 days a year, the plant-based side of this cuisine is fully developed on its own terms, not adapted from meat dishes.

Yes. Injera is teff flour and water, fermented for about three days. Nothing else goes into it, no egg, no dairy, no oil.

Do you cook the vegan dishes with butter?

No. Niter kibbeh, the spiced clarified butter used in many meat dishes, is never used in our vegan pots. They are built on plant oil, onion, garlic and spice.

It varies by dish. Shiro and kik alicha are mild, misir wot sits in the middle. Every card on this page shows a heat rating, and you can always ask for it milder.

Is it filling without meat?

Very. Lentils, split peas and chickpeas carry the plate, and one platter comfortably feeds two to three people.

Can I get vegan food delivered?

Yes. Order direct for pickup or delivery, or find us on Uber Eats and DoorDash. Direct orders help the restaurant most.
