Questions About Our Food?
Everything you need to know regarding coeliac safety, plant-based dining, and our ingredients.
Ask a QuestionYes. While many Ethiopian restaurants blend wheat flour with teff to cut costs or speed up fermentation, our Injera is crafted 100% from whole grain teff flour and fermented naturally. We maintain strict protocols to prevent gluten cross-contact.
A significant portion of our menu is inherently plant-based! Ethiopian tradition incorporates fasting seasons with vibrant vegetarian and vegan stews including Misir Wot (spiced red lentils), Kik Alicha (yellow split peas), and fresh vegetable sides, prepared completely separately from meat dishes.
Walk-ins are always warmly welcomed! For Friday and Saturday dinner services or groups of four or more, we strongly recommend reserving your table ahead of time through our booking link to guarantee seating.
