This is a wonderful place! The food is the best Ethiopian I've ever had. It's extraordinarily fresh. The service is super friendly. It never disappoints and the ambience and music completes the experience. Highly recommend! One of my favourite restaurants in NYC.

Amazing food. Great service. A very special place. On the weekends they have the coffee ceremony, as well as an okra dish that I dream about.

This place is fantastic. It's an Ethiopian place that does traditional coffee ceremony on Wednesday. Atmosphere is bomb, you feel like you're in a small village eating local food. Amazing choice of dishes, all vegan!!!!!! Super authentic, super tasty and great staff.

Probably my favorite Ethiopian spot I've been to since I tried this cuisine about a year ago. Even though everything is plant based, you leave very full and satisfied. I was very happy with the portion sizes. I went with a friend and we decided to get the Feast for 2 ($49/ $25pp). Its a ton of food and in NYC, you can't beat a great meal for $25! We did upgrade and decided to add Kategna because I LOVE spicy berbere on Injera. This adds just an extra little kick to the meal when enjoying the multiple scoops. We did also get the lentil sambusa, so so good. The hot cilantro lime sauce that comes with this was addictive. We also happened to come when they were playing live music, so this spot was totally a vibe. I loved the flavor of each component and felt the spice level and individual flavors really came through. Service was so friendly and great. I have nothing bad to say about this spot and will continue to come here and bring others. :)

"I recently visited Bunna for a nice little outing with the boys on Saturday for brunch. The spot is a really dope cool vibey place to eat usually very busy but today we were seated quickly no wait. The service is usually on point & today was no exception! Now on to the food lol The food was amazing I got 2 tej mimosas, the combination platter (non spicy) side order of plantins when I tell you everything slapped! omg. P. s. I usually order what my friends get to be honest lol never fails me. After we sat for a bit & had real conversations & talked about life, updates on each other's lives then headed out to the bk museum. Definitely Recommend!!

I'm pretty sure this used to be in DC, but it also might be a common name for Ethiopian restaurants. As a part of my niece's 10th birthday festivities, this was a dinner move. The restaurant was fairly populated, we were able to easily grab a table for 4 right in the middle against a wall. We got waters almost immediately, and received menus to look through. There were huge platters that are designated for 2 or 3 people. I noticed my sister wasn't being conscious of whether the platter had meat, but then I realized that the entire menu is vegan! That was a nice surprise. The platter for 3 was PLENTY of food and we were all stuffed... Beets, lentils, salad, and much much more were all so flavorful and delicious. Neither my sister nor I are coffee drinkers, but there was a woman on the floor in the middle of the restaurant with such a fancy Ethiopian coffee table setup. We felt obligated to try it for tradition. It was good... Bitter, but we could tell it was high quality! The decor of the place was also lovely, I should mention. Looks like more and more places are charging for extra injera, but nonetheless we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Thank you for the yummy food!!

Having Ethiopian food for the first time at Bunna has opened my eyes to how delicious and hearty vegetables can be when made right. My partner and I came on a Wednesday night and as the evening went on, the place started to fill up. While no one had to wait for a table, it was relatively full for a weekday night. The ambiance is earthy and calm juxtaposed by the presence of Bushwick hippie patrons. The service was friendly and relaxed. For drinks, my partner and I got the Ethiopiano and mango juice. The mango juice was great and had some grenadine syrup to sweeten the tart, but fresh, mango slush. The Ethiopiano was amazing and tasted like a spiced, earthy, and complex chocolate coffee. For food, the cup of Shorba is a perfect savory cup of soup for a cold day and I would gladly have this in my pantry for all cold days. The feast for two with injera is also hearty and filling and can easily feed three people. Our favorites were the Misir Wot, Shiro, Keysis Selata, Butecha Selata, and the seasonal sauce with yams (I don't think it was part of the menu). For an initiation into Ethiopian food, Bunna Cafe did a great job. They also have free tea ceremonies on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 5pm. For someone who isn't desensitized to caffeine, it's probably not a good idea. But if you can sleep fine after an evening cup of joe, get some coffee and have a feast while you're at it.

We ordered the feast for two! Pros: - the mushroom and chickpea ones were incredible. The split peas tasted like a warm hug - everything tasted super fresh and even though Cons: - portions were small. We were still hungry afterwards - there wasn't enough injera for the toppings. We found ourselves needing to order more, and they were priced kind of expensive. The meal itself was definitely not cheap Service was quick and on a Sunday night at 6 pm, we were able to quickly snag a table. The space was really cute with dim lighting.

I was actually having a conversation with someone recently about the culinary influence on both sides of the Malabar coast, and how the fermented flavor of injera reminded them of dosa - so by a twist of fair or a synchronicity, I was invited to join a friend at Bunna Cafe for their weekend coffee ceremony, which starts promptly at 5pm. The ceremony itself was beautiful, and while I'm surprised and sad I hadn't made it to this vegetarian beacon previously, I'm glad I had the chance to under the auspices of seeing this ceremony. The whole restaurant smelled of sandalwood while they roasted the beans. We were just there for drinks and to see the ceremony, but we shared the kategna appetizer, which really did remind me of a dosa! It was filled with an oily berbere paste - if you told me it was podi, I could have been tricked.
