- Summary
- Ethiopian fare, including rich stews, injera bread & vegan options served in warm surroundings.
This family-run vegan Ethiopian gem in Greenpoint showcases exceptional craftsmanship, with owner Bersi deeply involved in both the kitchen and front-of-house service. The restaurant's standout injera—made entirely from teff flour as part of the family's legacy injera business—anchors a thoughtfully crafted all-plant-based menu featuring flavorful dishes like Engudaye Tibs (mushroom tibs) and the beloved Bersi combo platter, all executed with genuine care and vibrant energy. Beyond the food, diners are welcomed into a warm, unpretentious space that celebrates Ethiopian culture and community, complete with a complimentary coffee ceremony on Saturday evenings.
Reviewers consistently praise Bersi's flavorful, fully vegan Ethiopian food, with particular mentions of the injera (made from teff by the owners' family), the sampler platter offering diverse entrees, and standout dishes like mushroom Tibs and baklava. Multiple guests highlight the family-run atmosphere under owner Bersi's direct involvement, generous portions at reasonable prices ($20 for dinner), and attentive service, with several noting the food satisfies even non-vegetarians and the restaurant offers unique touches like a free Ethiopian coffee ceremony on Saturday evenings. The only minor constraint reviewers note is the restaurant's modest size and limited NYC location options for Ethiopian food overall.
