Must try - Edit
Really delicious food. Picked up takeaway so the presentation was a little lost; but the flavors are top notch. Hope to dine in and get the full experience. *Update* Took the gang to dine-in for dinner: UH-MAZING.

Can't recommend this place enough - you must visit!

Some of the best food I have ever had in my life - Edit
Brunch was incredible—every dish in the combo was delicious, and my Ethiopiano was wonderful, too. So much flavor and clearly so much love going into the food. Ate a great deal and didn’t feel heavy or uncomfortable afterward. The ambiance is warm and cozy and the staff were very welcoming. Can’t wait to return for dinner.

My friend and I had the feast for two and devoured it! The service was wonderful and it was not busy when we went for lunch on a Thursday, even with precautionary lower occupancy. Super tasty and can’t recommend it enough!

To die for - Edit
My god. I was hooked on this place when I wasn’t even vegan yet. Flavorful, cooked with love and always on point. Always lovely and polite service & Never had complaints here about anything. Everything on the menu is great, but definitely suggest the feast so you can try it all! I prefer dinner menu over brunch, but hey - try it all. You won’t be disappointed.

One of our faves - Edit
My husband and I love coming here, it's one of our favorite places, especially for brunch! We've brought most of our visiting friends to eat here, too.
Read moreBunna offers a delicious variety of vegan Ethiopian dishes. It is healthy, REAL comfort food, offering a change of pace from the many vegan places that offer less healthy vegan translations of American junk food.
It's busy during brunch hours, but it's worth their tasty brunch menu and $5 drinks.
It's cash only, but there's an ATM available in the back.
Pros: Healthy, filling dishes, Cozy atmosphere , Affordable
Cons: Cash only

Eat the world! - Edit
A friend recommended I give this place a try while visiting NYC and I’m so so so glad I did! I’ve never had Ethiopian food before and this was an amazing first experience. We ordered the sampler. It’s a good choice for first-timers. The server was very helpful. We loved most everything we tried. Didn’t especially love eating with our hands. Not authentic, but next time we’d most likely ask for forks. Wish this place was just around the corner so we could try everything on the menu! Highly recommend.

Feast for two 🥰 - Edit
The feast is the best deal, you get a double portion of everything and they didn’t charge us extra when we asked for more bread. Also the Pushkin cocktail is amazing, I love the texture (that sounds weird, but just trust me).

Awesome Dining Experience - Edit
The food is incredibly fresh. The “Vegan Feast”, that includes perfect portions of all of the available entrees, is a wonderful cornucopia of flavors and spices. Worth the 1.5 hour drive for our special Thanksgiving Day experience.

Feast for 2 is what it says - Edit
Bunna Cafe is a beautiful restaurant with excellent mood lighting and well-crafted interesting wood work. Me and my partner shared the “Feast for 2” and we left feeling like we’d be satiated, but full of Ethiopian dishes we’d never tried before.

Excellent Ethiopian restaurant - Edit
I came here with three friends and we ordered an item called a "feast" for three people, which included most of the menu items. The portions were huge, and could have fed five people. The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly.
