Habesha Ethiopian restaurant and bar

Habesha Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar offers a delightful journey into authentic Ethiopian cuisine in a peaceful, relaxed, yet elegant setting. This family-run treasure has been serving the Austin community since 2013, owned and managed by husband Yidnekachew Fantu while his talented wife Selam Abebe creates magic in the kitchen as head chef.

The name "Habesha" itself carries cultural significance - it's a term Ethiopians and Eritreans use with pride to refer to themselves, celebrating unity among different tribes as people of the same region.

1. Experience traditional Ethiopian dining where meals are served on injera - a unique, slightly spongy sourdough flatbread made from teff flour (naturally gluten-free!)
2. Enjoy the communal dining style where food is shared from a common plate, symbolizing bonds of loyalty and friendship
3. Savor dynamic flavors in dishes like the juicy Doro Tibs, flavorful beef combinations, and excellent vegetarian/vegan options

Whether you're new to Ethiopian cuisine or a seasoned enthusiast, the attentive staff will guide you through the menu. Perfect for intimate meals, dinner parties, or business events, Habesha consistently delivers delicious food with excellent service in a setting where traditional music plays softly in the background, creating an immersive cultural experience.
