Reviews of Ethiopian Dinner | Habesha Nights - Act 3
Description
They say don't mess with a thing that works. We absolutely agree ... err, mostly.
Bunna Café is back in business on Sunday, June 17. This third installment of Habesha Nights will still offer the best and heartiest in Ethiopian vegan cuisine with a creative twist or two. We also have a couple new dishes to offer. And of course, there will be plenty of Shai Correnti to go around. We've been on the street fair circuit the past week, so we're still securing some entertainment for you. But for now, here is what we are sure of:
____________________________________________________________
Location: off the Morgan L Stop (will send address once spot is reserved).
Doors open at 6:30 PM. Dinner is served at 7.
Admission is $30. This buys dinner, one free drink, Ethiopian coffee and refreshments, entertainment, and good company.

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.
