Many of our guests have asked what “Buraka” means and about the culture of our dishes. Our name is that of the owner’s great grandfather. A tradition in Ethiopia that honors family names, which are carried down to the next generation. “Buraka” means joy and contentment in the Oromo language. Our dishes are East African and several Ethiopian, as the country of origin of Buraka’s owners. Ethiopian cuisine is best known for its rich exotic mix of spices, such as berbere, garlic, cardamom, ginger, cumin, coriander, curry powder and many more that give our dishes flavor and aroma of rich home-style recipes. Ethiopian cuisine is also known for a unique traditional flat sourdough bread called “injera” and is made from a grain called teff, native to Ethiopia.
