Probably my new favorite restaurant in New York

The quality here would be outstanding even at higher prices. For the current prices, you can't do better in New York.
The cocktails, currently all $14, use Ethiopian ingredients and are unique and delicious. The feasts are also a great deal and let you try all the entrees.
They also have two types of injera: one that's gluten free (fully made with teff flour) and one that's not.

So good!

It’s so good! Used to order from them all the time. Live too far away now and still crave it.

Pros: Injera Meal, Lentil Sambusa

Sensational

One of the best places I’ve ever eaten. Shared the feast for 2 and had 9 fully vegan dishes, that all slapped. No misses. Could not recommend higher

Fantastic

I’ve been to Bunna Cafe many times. I recently visited again after several years of not going since I moved farther away. It is still the same wonderful Ethiopian food and attentive service. They used to be cash only but now accept card payments as well.

My non-vegan companion was very impressed too and requested that we eat here again soon XD. We had the Feast for two - for $50 it’s a very good amount of food, we were stuffed XD. #Veganuary

Pros: employees are so awesome, food was perfect, the coffee is so flavorful!

Great Ethiopian food

I went with a friend and got the feast for 2 which comes with 2 scoops of each of the entrees. I really enjoyed the food. Note that we did notice one drink on the menu (I believe it was a wine) that contained honey.

Esperienza buona, sapori e profumi ottimi

Ho mangiato un piatto unico con varie verdure molto saporite, lenticchie e molto altro, servito sul tipico pane etiope.
Tutto gustoso e piccante.
Se capiterà l’occasione, volentieri tornerò ad assaggiare altri piatti.

Pros: Il piatto unico mangiato con amici, L’ambiente molto accogliente, La gentilezza del personale

Cons: La musica troppo alta.

Excellent Ethiopian food

Ethiopian food is easy to do vegan anywhere, but fully vegan Ethiopian place? Fantastic. I worked near here for over a year and somehow never stopped by. That was a mistake. Just got pickup and it was great—the “feast” for $19 was very solid (if slightly on the small side). All of the different entrees were great!

Incredible

Huge fan of Bunna, they may be my favorite Ethiopian restaurant I've ever been to.

Everything was fresh and delicious. Fosolia and keysir selata were my two favorite items, but they're all incredible and worth trying.

Their injera isn't dry and it's perfectly squishy. Samosas were crisp and flavorful.

Loved their cup of Ethiopian coffee, and it's the only place I've ever had it. It's brewed with cardamom and cloves and it's the perfect little pick-me-up.

Lovely vibes, interior, and friendly staff.

Pros: Nice vibe, Friendly staff

AAAAAABSOOLUTE FAV..

I could literally pitch a tent out front and live off of this food. I live in NJ and it costs me roughly $40 just to get there.. THAT’S how much I love it. Wish it was closer. Absolute bomb!!

Love This Place!

I haven’t been here in ages & I’ve also not done a review here for them. Bunna has been around for quite a few years now and have consistently served delicious veggie Ethiopian comfort. Today I had the Feast which comes with 7 choices on top of injera bread. They have 9 choices so it was really difficult to omit 2 because I love all of them! Great vibe & atmosphere here. I don’t live in Bushwick but always happy to make the trek from my area to eat this yummy food. They upped the spice level too & I have a nice buzz from the heat in today’s meal.

They used to be cash only but are now accepting credit/debit cards #Veganuary

Pros: Flavor, Friendly staff, Now accepting credit cards

Cons: Not close to where I live!!

Solid choice

Cool space with nice decor. Was very clean and lighting was nice. Appears to be family run and operated and they were friendly.

Had the feast for two. Very tasty over all. Portions weren't feast like for us, but we do both have big appetites.
UPDATE 2023 I CHANGED TO 5 STARS. WE HAD THE FEAST FOR TWO 9 ITEMS AND IT WAS PLENTY OF FOOD FOR US.

Favourites on the spread were the yellow lentils, seasonal special, the mushrooms and the red lentils.

Tried the baklava (not gf, but I felt I HAD to try it). Wasn't worth it imo. But I prefer the drier baklava to the very drenched in syrup.

Pros: All vegan , Injeera in gf!

Amazing fully vegan Ethiopian food

We visited when we were in NY earlier this year. We had an Ethiopian feast at Bunnacafe in Brooklyn, which is a fully vegan place.This was one of my favourite meals that I had whilst on my trip. Great place.

So fun to try

Got the vegan feast for 2 and it did not disappoint. So many different flavors to try and everything was cooked to a tee. Wish this was closer so I could order my faves again. But glad to have experienced it and would definitely recommend it!! Some stuff is spicy for real though, so be careful if that is not up your alley.

Pros: Unique and delish, Indecisive? Get a feast

Ahmesugenalew! Amazing!

Best Ethiopian Food I've ever tasted including in Ethiopia. Everything tasted fresh and light and fantastic, the injira was perfect, the shiro savory, the daata extra hot and as such did not notice the meal was missing fresh raw hot chilis until much later.

The baklava with coffee turbinado syrup sauce was spectacular. Enjoyed my Ethiopian coffee. I don't know how else to say it, so I'll just repeat for emphasis, this is the best Ethiopian cuisine I have ever tried anywhere in the world. Absolutely amazing.

Pros: vegan Ethiopian, spicy on request, cute, clean and pleasant dining room
