This was my first experience at Bunna Café. The food was very good, Very tasty. The Service was very good, It was timely. The staff was welcoming and courteous. My only negative would be that partway through the meal someone lit up an incense right next to where we were sitting, and it was not an aromatic smell so it definitely interfered with the enjoyment of the food & for that reason we finished our food and exited quicker than we might otherwise have.

Tried their 4 Bunna lunch special for $13 - it was definitely a new experience to try Ethiopian food, not a big fan of the taste of the bunna which is basically blended things together to make a paste which you eat with the bread (injera) however I will say it’s unique and definitely a must try only for lunch special. Also the Ethiopian coffee was great had a citrus fruit flavor. 4/5 stars

The vegan cafe had good food. Definitely recommend if you are vegan. It is also very tasty if your are not vegan. My favorite was the misis wot, nice balance of spice with the meaty taste of lentils. The staff was friendly. When we went there was free coffee and it was super tasty. Then before we left there was a live DJ. The place was cool. I would recommend it.
