Mohamed attended Ethiopian Dinner | Habesha Nights - Act 5

service and hospitality were excellent. food was delicious. great atmosphere.

however: room was hot. we were not given enough presentation about the chef and hosts. It would have been nice to hear everyone's personal story and how bunna cafe came about. i would attend again.

Nicole attended Ethiopian Dinner | Habesha Nights - Act 5

The food was great and the hosts wonderful. the only distracting component was the fact that it was so hot in the apartment. Aside from the heat it was a great experience. I would attend another event in the future.

Manuela attended Ethiopian Dinner | Habesha Nights - Act 5

The food was delicious! The hosts were very nice and the food tasted a lot fresher and more flavorful that most of the Ethiopian food you can get in NYC. Highly recommended!

Jensen attended Ethiopian Dinner | Habesha Nights - Act 5

This was our first pop-up dinner and now we're hooked. The atmosphere, the staff, and the food was all incredible. It was a great experience getting to speak with the creators. When it comes to food there is a wonderful sense of community in Brooklyn; if you want a unique experience that makes you even prouder to be a part of this neighborhood treat yourself to a wonderful night with Sam and the team. We're looking forward to seeing them again.

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.
