Taste of Ethiopia II

Discover Taste of Ethiopia II, a cozy gem on South Congress in Austin where authentic Ethiopian flavors feel like a warm hug from a best friend!

Owned by Woinee Mariam, this family spot—her second after the original in Pflugerville—brings Ethiopia's rich heritage to life with imported spices, homemade injera from her own yeast starter, and woven mesob baskets on every table. Dive into generous portions of mellow-spiced delights like sambusa appetizers, garlic turmeric beef stew, goat kikil, yemisir wot for veggies, and the national dish doro wot—all at an average $7.70 per item. Carnivores, vegans, and everyone in between will love the meat, vegetarian, and vegan options, plus a weekday lunch buffet and full bar with Ethiopian beers and honey wine.

1. Charming service and a 4.6-star vibe make it perfect for intimate dinners or gatherings.
2. Open daily from noon to 9 or 10 PM—call ahead to reserve!
3. Pro tip: Check the daily Ethiopian word board for a cultural twist.

It's more than a meal; it's a flavorful journey into hospitality and tradition!
