Bunna Cafe was absolutely amazing from the food to the atmosphere. My friend and I split the platter and the portions were huge. You get a sampling of many different things and they were all phenomenal, the beets were my favorite Updated from previous review on 2026-01-07

Bunna Cafe was my first Ethiopian food experience, and it instantly made me fall in love with the cuisine.

The food was rich and flavorful, the ambience felt warm and authentic, and the service was friendly and attentive. A great spot for anyone trying Ethiopian food for the first time or looking for an authentic Ethiopian experience in Brooklyn.
