​Enjoy the Vibe
​We take inspiration from Ethiopian ancient dining culture in which it is known for being a shared experience, with large platters of food being served family-style. This communal way of dining is an important part of our country’s food culture and reflects the Ethiopian value of hospitality. We encourage our guests to choose a variety of entrees to share with their dining companions and enjoy the welcoming vide.
