Makina Cafe on Governor's Island

Makina Cafe Governors Island - Review - Governors Island - New York - The Infatuation

"Makina is a little fast-casual Ethiopian and Eritrean spot on Governors Island, with a few food trucks strewn about the city. If you’re looking for a fuller meal, they make bowls with things like chicken or beef tibs, or garlicky collard greens. But we actually prefer using this spot for a snack, specifically for their sambusa. These little fried dough pockets are stuffed with super flavorful lentils or beef—we like the lentils better—and they’re a great source of fuel before another lap on a bike around the island. photo credit: Will Hartman" - Will Hartman
