"Set to get a permanent home at Switchman Hall in late 2024, Ruki’s Kitchen is an Ethiopian pop-up founded by Ali Lemma after she left the corporate world in 2021. It will offer four entree plate combinations — steak, chicken, salmon tibs, and vegetable options. Lemma started a residency at East Atlanta Village’s Qommunity Food Hall in 2022 and received a grant from the Heinz Black Kitchen Initiative in 2023; on February 29 Ruki’s Kitchen (along with pop-up Tony’s Chicago Beef) was suddenly ousted from Qommunity. Ruki’s Kitchen currently holds residencies at Tonearm in Decatur (Thursdays to Saturdays from 4–10 pm) and at Punk Foodie’s Ponce City Market outpost (Sundays from 11–8 pm)." - Sarra Sedghi
