Ethiopian kitchen & bar · Phoenix & Scottsdale

Ethiopian food, brought to you with love.

Vegan, gluten-free and meat dishes, served in an African-inspired afrobeat and jazz-bar atmosphere — and the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, brewed in a clay pot at your table.

A round platter of vegan dishes on injera with rolled injera and green peppers

The table

Three rounds, like the coffee.

Abol · first

Gather

A communal feast on one shared platter of injera — the way it is eaten at home, rich with heritage and the green, yellow and red of Pan-African unity.

Tona · second

Taste

Traditional cooking with fresh ingredients and real spices: ten vegan stews, slow-cooked wots, tibs off a very hot pan, and kitfo your way.

Baraka · third

Bless

Finish with the Ethiopian coffee ceremony — freshly brewed in a clay pot with aromatic incense, brought to your table.
