Excellent Ethiopian food. Everything is halal, I confirmed with them over email. This is a ghost kitchen - no storefront, you order online and pickup from outside their kitchen. I think they also have a truck, use their website to find out their hours for the truck. Their misir was a little too spicy for me, but the shiro was phenomenal. The beef tibs and siga wot were delicious. They serve in a nice large round paper box which makes it quite easy to eat in the car or at home. Hard to find halal Ethiopian food, so I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about them before. They need to advertise they are halal more. Will definitely be returning. Don’t sleep on this one! Update 2/26/25: Unfortunately their quality has gone down drastically. The injera no longer has the tartness that it’s supposed to have. The items also did not taste as good as before. They also gave my food almost 50 minutes after placing order, making me wait 30 minutes in the cold. This place needs to get its act in place, then I will return again.

The food truck was at summer stage in vin long park and I was HYPE cuz I love me some Ethiopian food! I got the chicken bowl with lentils, collard greens and injera. Chefs kiss! I devoured the whole thing. The flavors literally light up in every bite! Totally wasn’t expecting something so delicious from the food truck. But I was fooled and a happy fool by the time that bowl was done

I’d spotted their truck for some years now but had never given it a try. I finally did and I should have a long time ago! I got the vegetarian bowl so I got to pick three veggies. Went with red lentil, chickpeas and greens over rice. So flavorful and filling. The awaze sauce added a nice kick. Love their eco-friendly packaging. I’ll be going back for more!

Serving such amazing food from a truck is impressive. Everything tasted amazing, although I’ll have to go again since they were out of injera. The food was amazing, and absolutely worth the price! The staff running the truck was so kind, and I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for quick Ethiopian/Eritrean food. Their house sauce was fantastic, give it a try!

Such impressive Ethiopian cuisine from a food truck, bold flavors and textures plus the dark injera bread! Lots of excellent vegetarian options, with all the lentils and chickpeas and collard greens, but please don't miss out on the braised cabbage, it's so tender and buttery. Service was really friendly too, and I loved the unusual sodas like Pink Peppercorn.

I've ordered from Makina cafe many times now. Their injeria is the right spongey, sourdough like texture, and their siga wot beef stew is packed with spice and unique flavors from their berbere sauce.

We ordered delivery. The chicken tibs plate with collard greens and chickpea with injera was so good! My first time with Ethiopian cuisine, and a new gluten free favorite!

I've only had Ethiopian food once many years ago and while I enjoyed it there weren't any options close enough to me. That's until I heard about Makina. I had it for the first time today. They were about a 15 min walk from my office but it was definitely worth the trip. I had the chicken tibs with injera, gomen and tikel gomen with the Makina sauce. I also had the beef sambusas. The chicken was SO SO tender and seasoned so well. The veggies were cooked perfectly and were a nice compliment to the chicken. I am not a fan of the traditional sourdough bread but now I can say I love their sourdough flat bread! The sambusa pastry was nice and flaky and filling was perfect. I'm glad the weather is warming up because I'm already looking forward to having it again!
