About Us
Family-run Footscray Ethiopian institution on Barkly Street — Wondimu Alemu and head chef Alemitu Aberra opened on Nicholson Street in 2011, relocated here in 2017, and have introduced generations of Melburnians to communal injera dining. Wondimu hosts the room with unmistakable warmth (3AW, Jan 2026; Time Out, Jul 2024) while Alemitu cooks family recipes; coverage highlights shareable platters, berbere-spiced doro wot, saucy and crisped lamb tibs, clay-pot lamb specials, strong vegan beyaynetu platters, and traditional buna coffee. Colourful Ethiopian-flag decor and generous portions make it a reliable group table in Melbourne's west; order online via WowApps or Uber Eats, or call (03) 9687 2748.
