Bunna Cafe

Bushwick’s 19 Standout Restaurants | Eater NY

"A semi-secret gem of the neighborhood, the meat-free Bunna Cafe is paradise for vegetarians and vegans looking for exciting dining options. But it also won’t scare away even the most ardent of carnivores. Aromatic stews like shiro (split peas simmered with tomato, spices, garlic, ginger, and onion) and the spicier, red lentil-based misir wot are refreshing, healthy, and most importantly, tasty. The warm lighting and live steel drum music are perfect for lingering with friends, so order one of the feasts for groups, to be scooped up with spongy, slightly sour injera bread. Save room for baklava and original cocktails like the “CuCumba!” (gin, celery and grapefruit shrub, and muddled cucumber). Cash only." - Paul Schrodt
