Ordered “awaze” tibs… we couldn’t taste the Awaze. And when I asked for mitmita…it didn’t taste spicy at all. And in order to use the restroom we have to walk through the kitchen…
Amazing experience....coffee ceremony is my new obsession!!
Found out about this place on Reddit— it’s a small, modest little restaurant in the back of a little Ethiopian store that sells spices and carvings etc. The food was exceptional— I got the garlic salted trout, and my husband got the vegetable platter. So much flavor, and these plates were mild in terms of spicy heat. Would 100% return back.
Awesome lunch experience. My friend and I were recommended their beef stew and fish. The fish was cooked perfectly and the beef stew tasted delicious with a myriad of spices. They were served with a side of different vegetables and injera. Great place for a group to eat together!
Buna is such a treasure. Excellent market section, such warm and friendly service from Eyob, and exceptional food that keeps me coming back (even after moving out of state). My go to is the fish. So crispy and well seasoned with garlic salt, with tender, juicy white meat. They aren’t sparing with the lemon and even include an entire one when you order takeout, which I truly appreciate. It comes with 6 flavorful veggie sides, including my favorite, shiro wot. Portions of sides and injera are generous, which is rare in restaurants.I’ve eaten here for years. Tried a bunch of other places in little Ethiopia and Buna is the one I stuck with. The food quality has been consistently great, service is exemplary, I truly feel like I’m visiting family when I come by.
The food here is amazing! It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I loved how colorful, tasty, well seasoned, and diverse the veggie and meat combo plate was. The injera bread could’ve been warmer but besides that, 10/10 recommend this place!
Excellent. Easy to order and great quantity and quality. Ordered Kitfo and veggie combo and both were great. Bought extra mitmita and it was great as well. Went here after a nearby place we'd visited before initially led us down the path of all these painful details of our rather simple takeout order and then suddenly changed their minds saying they couldn't fulfill our small order after wasting 10mins on the phone with them. With Buna, I was instead able to order within one minute on the phone and when I arrived I barely waited before the food was ready and cooked exactly the way we expected it to be. So glad the issue resulted in us giving this restaurant a try instead because we will visit again on our next trip to LA instead of the other place!
This Gem has become my new favorite place. Not only because the food is so amazing, but more because the family who owns this place prepares their food with love. I have met my new fav food and became part of a new family. I highly recommend this Gem! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I've ordered 3 dishes, but I think the cook misunderstood my order... and the taste is not too bad not so good. I believe there was no boss. The worker there, couldn't understand English but he was the ONLY ONE in that restaurant. the coffee there is nothing different with other coffeeshop. I don't really recommend this place.
Excellent environment, friendly service, great menu choices, amazing tasty dishes "VEGAN" friendly and at affordable prices.What a lovely restaurant I also LOVE the COFFEE. I enjoy the decor everytime I go. I drive 45 miles just to eat and buy injera here worth the time and money.
