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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 MazurOctober 27, 2014
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 ParnessSeptember 3, 2018
The Kategna appetizer was an incredible surprise. Loved the texture (like injera jerky) and perfectly spiced (read heat). Great start to a great Feast

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

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

Everything is delicious and surprisingly it also happens to be vegan! I love that they have a yummy selection of non alcoholic beverages.
Jessica WickhamDecember 31, 2016
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!

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

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

Get the feast for 2. Realize it's more like a feast for 4. Take leftovers/eat everything
GabrielleMarch 17, 2016
Ethiopian coffee & feast - good for any occasion! Injera, salads are flawless. Cocktails are delicious & v original. Favourite restaurant in Brooklyn :)
Aja BrandmanApril 8, 2018
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 SachdevMay 19, 2017
Vegan deliciousness on a small plate or big plate!!! The feast for 3 ppl is good for 5!!!
Aias CienfuegosSeptember 20, 2014
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 GilNovember 19, 2017
Share all the dishes for two people! First cocktail and the White Russian are both awesome and cheap during happy hour (slightly smaller).
Shahrzad ShamsSeptember 25, 2017
We had the feast with seven combinations for dinner and it was amazing. Enough for two people. Awesome vibe and great staff.
Lukas ThomsMarch 21, 2015
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 BereheOctober 4, 2017
Awesome vegan spot, weekend brunch is a lot of fun with great DJ. Moderately cheap, the honey mimosas are only $5.
Clare ReidyMarch 21, 2019
Great date spot. Cash only. Got the feast for one but shared between two was perfectly fine
J HMarch 24, 2014
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 GirlJanuary 28, 2019
Feast for three was enough for four. Make reservations online to save time (esp for weekends) and for gluten free injera.
Emily WilsonNovember 2, 2016
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.
HolidayJune 2, 2017
Iced chai (Shai) and gluten free injera but if you want the gf injera you must reserve it the day before your visit.
David RosenbergMay 20, 2014
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 AtkinsJune 27, 2017
Go here on Wednesday nights for authentic vegetarian Ethiopian food and love music. Best combination for the midweek hump.
Lyndsey MMay 26, 2016
My favorite Ethiopian restaurant in New York. I love the beets.
Le LoAugust 29, 2018
Delicious. No idea what I ate; lots of daal and pancake and whatnot. Beautiful space, great atmosphere.
Elysia MannOctober 13, 2014
Carnivores and vegans alike will enjoy the menu. Everything on the huge platter for 2 was delicious.

Feast for 2 is 100% the best way to do Bunna Cafe.
CarmsMarch 27, 2017
Get the three-layer juice! Mango, avocado, and papaya.

Great healthy vegetarian food, share the platter for 2. It's a lot of food
JeffreyJuly 20, 2014
The food at Bunna Cafe, a pop-up Ethiopian supper club turned brick-and-mortar restaurant, is only incidentally vegan.
Török ÁdámMay 29, 2019
Lunch menu for 2 is a good option if you want to taste everything.
arhymMay 30, 2019
Mango, papaya or avocado? Why bother choosing when Espris has them all.
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 8, 2015
Surprisingly appetizing and filling, definitely shows you that vegan Ethiopian food can be a thing.
