delicious vegan Ethiopian food ! the feast for 2 easily served 3. the service was great too. my only qualm was that it's cash only , but there's an ATM and our waitress was kind enough to break bills.

Chau Tran

I adore this place!! Such a great vibe. We ordered lunch for 2 and got a large portion . The cocktail was phenomenal. And sunflower milk was out of this world!! Definitely coming back.

Julia Kaplan

It's kind of tucked away in the middle of nowhere but it's cute and cozy and perfect for taking someone out with dietary restrictions. Everything on the menu is vegan & delicious!

Alyssa B.

This was 1st try of ethiopian and it really deserves going back. Pictured: Sunday brunch combos that me and my friend combined the plates each.(the sampler is at dinner only) try the tosign toddy !

E H

The food here is amazing! Got the combination platter for 2, and it was probably enough food for 3! Also the ice road trucker drink is very unique and tasty.

Aimée Jane Parr

Niche little Ethiopian restaurant in the heart of Bushwick. Plant based. Food was amazing! Recommend the lunch sharing platter between 2 ($16) as you get to try a bit of everything. Cash only . Vibe.

Kira

Absolutely so delicious, a great option for vegans and non-vegs alike. 2 friends and I split the feast for 3 and it was a TON of food, we couldn’t finish. 100% recommended.

Jess Naldo

The feast for two is probably good for three, etc. Great place to get a bunch of friends together though the cocktail game is weak. Throw down on a few plates of sambusas and all is forgiven.

Margot Mazur

Amazing vegan Ethiopian food . Just get the feast so you can try everything. Dont forget to order coffee--its delicious and different from the regular. Love this place.

Rory Parness

The Kategna appetizer was an incredible surprise. Loved the texture (like injera jerky ) and perfectly spiced (read heat). Great start to a great Feast

Village Voice

Bunna is a godsend! Go in a group and order a sampler platter , which allows you to try everything on the menu. Read more

Ariel Herman

Seriously the best Ethiopian restaurant . Delicious food, nice staff , perfect atmosphere for date or friends. Well worth the trek out here.

Yesbelt Fernandez

Everything is delicious and surprisingly it also happens to be vegan ! I love that they have a yummy selection of non alcoholic beverages .

Jessica Wickham

The feast is great to share, a bit of everything all on bread . Remember there is bread underneath so you don't need to order more like we did!

Mike Barrett

Everything is awesome here! Brunch is delicious and dinner is fantastic. Recently got the Kategna, spicy and delicious.

Sarah Rotter

Great first Ethiopian food experience! I’ve never had Ethiopian before and this was the perfect intro to all of the wonderful flavors. Great price, full vegan menu , and great atmosphere

Michelle Wiles

Get the feast for 2. Realize it's more like a feast for 4. Take leftovers/eat everything

Gabrielle

Ethiopian coffee & feast - good for any occasion! Injera , salads are flawless. Cocktails are delicious & v original. Favourite restaurant in Brooklyn :)

Aja Brandman

Great Ethiopian restaurant . The feast for three was plenty of food for four people, and the best option to try a bit of everything!

Shrutika Sachdev

Vegan deliciousness on a small plate or big plate !!! The feast for 3 ppl is good for 5!!!

Aias Cienfuegos

The lentil sambusa is delicious, the Ethiopian coffee as you wold expect also delicioso. What was unexpected was the caipirinha , best I've had in years!

Sam Gil

Share all the dishes for two people! First cocktail and the White Russian are both awesome and cheap during happy hour (slightly smaller).

Shahrzad Shams

We had the feast with seven combinations for dinner and it was amazing. Enough for two people. Awesome vibe and great staff .

Lukas Thoms

Bunna is super great. If you're hungry, get the feast for two (it can reasonably feed three), and I highly recommend the honey wine !

Edomia zaide Berehe

Awesome vegan spot, weekend brunch is a lot of fun with great DJ . Moderately cheap , the honey mimosas are only $5.

Clare Reidy

Great date spot . Cash only . Got the feast for one but shared between two was perfectly fine

J H

The food is delicious the staff is lovely. A little too expensive for me to eat there three times a week, but if it was cheaper I would. The food is worth every penny though.

That Girl

Feast for three was enough for four. Make reservations online to save time (esp for weekends) and for gluten free injera .

Emily Wilson

Just come in from the cold? Order a shai tea right off the bat. It'll warm you right up. Mmm... cardamom , cloves , cinnamon , ginger .

Holiday

Iced chai (Shai) and gluten free injera but if you want the gf injera you must reserve it the day before your visit.

David Rosenberg

The feast for two is the perfect amount of food for ambitious people like you and your dinner companion. Compliment them on the woodwork, it's homemade .

Lauren Atkins

Go here on Wednesday nights for authentic vegetarian Ethiopian food and love music . Best combination for the midweek hump.

Lyndsey M

My favorite Ethiopian restaurant in New York. I love the beets .

Le Lo

Delicious. No idea what I ate; lots of daal and pancake and whatnot. Beautiful space, great atmosphere.

Elysia Mann

Carnivores and vegans alike will enjoy the menu. Everything on the huge platter for 2 was delicious.

Ari

Amazing food and everyone is very friendly . Great place for a date!

Jarel Hill

Holy wow everything here is amazing! Get the feast for 2 and appetizer and dessert .

Rami Haykal-Manning

Great healthy vegetarian food , share the platter for 2. It's a lot of food

Jeffrey

The food at Bunna Cafe, a pop-up Ethiopian supper club turned brick-and-mortar restaurant , is only incidentally vegan .

Török Ádám

Lunch menu for 2 is a good option if you want to taste everything.

arhym

Mango , papaya or avocado ? Why bother choosing when Espris has them all.

Jessica de Oliveira

Surprisingly appetizing and filling, definitely shows you that vegan Ethiopian food can be a thing.
