Bunna Ethiopian Cafe, 14th and L Street near McPherson Square Metro Downtown - Closed


Recommended Posts

Spotted this last week walking home from my new job, stopped in for lunch today. Apparently they opened a few weeks ago. Lunch was an order of Misir Wat to go, which came with a small helping of collard greens, a small helping tomato/onion/pepper salad, and a second piece of injera. The lentils had a nice flavor with a little bit of heat but nothing searing. There is also a breakfast menu with ful and fir fir and egg sandwiches. Hours are 7-6, maybe 7-7. maybe.

It was entirely pleasant and I'll probably hit this once every week or two.

No idea if there is any relation to the Bunna in New York, probably not. They also have a full coffee menu and sell beans from Nagadi Coffee in Silver Spring.

turbogrrl, the location in Brooklyn is vegan, so if they're serving eggs, probably not. That said, I did receive a bit of information that this may be the owner's second restaurant - I'll post information as it comes in.

If anyone finds out about a website or Facebook page, please post it here.

I stopped by last week.  I've only eaten Ethiopian a few times so I had no idea what to order so I just ordered the first item on the menu the Misir Wat.  It was good. I was a bit surprised that it was not overflowing in flavors given the description on the board but that could be how it was supposed to be.  I recall it as being mild flavored.  The meal was large, it came on injera and then had another piece of injera on the top.  I eat my fill and didn't even get through the first picked of injera and then took it home and my wife nibbled on it for a few days.  I was left fairly happy with the meal, not somewhere I'd go often but once and a while.  Price wise it seemed a great value due to the size of the meal.
