Jacqueline attended Ethiopian Dinner | Habesha Nights - Act 2

My favorite part about the event was how attentive the servers were and how they made sure that everyone was satisfied. I would recommend others to attend this event and I would attend again.

Description

On Sunday, May 27, Bunna Café will open its doors for our second vegan-friendly dinner in Bushwick/Morgantown/East Williamsburg, part of the Habesha Nights summer series. Join us for a hearty vegan Ethiopian dinner, Ethiopian drinks, and listen to Ladell Mclin serve up a healthy dose of blues guitar. The last Sunday was an amazing experience for staff and patrons alike, and we are hoping to do it all over again for a new batch of people. Here's what we have in store:

COFFEE CEREMONY – After dinner, join us for the preparation of Bunna – Ethiopian coffee – in a traditional coffee ceremony. Light dessert refreshments will be provided.

Join Sam, Liyuw, and the Bunna staff for some wholesome and festive Sunday entertainment. Learn more about Bunna Cafe on our profile page or by visiting bunnaethiopia.net. Or just ask us!

Note: Ethiopian dinner = communal dinner. We will accommodate any guest as best we can, but the experience is ideal when you share plates and tables. Please be prepared to interact; each plate can be shared between 2 to 4 people. Also Ethiopian food is eaten without utensils. Instead the food is scooped up using injera -- Ethiopian flatbread. We will have hot towels and a washing station available for guests.
