About Makina Cafe
Makina Cafe is an unorthodox food truck, and we mean that in the best way of course. Not only are they serving up authentic Ethiopian and Etritrean food, they're also doing it all out of a food truck. The first food truck, in fact, to do so in New York City. So trust us when we say, you've never had food quite like this. Which is anything but a bad thing.
At Makina Cafe, you're being treated to a plethora of meals from recipes passed down over generations. Featuring a bevy of palate pleasers to entertain both meat lovers and vegetarians, they're introducing citizens of the big apple to all the intricacies of Ethiopian cuisine one bite at a time. The best part? Each meal is completely customizable according to your specific tastes. The carnivore is being treated to their specialty chicken and beef tibs, available in a sandwich or on a plate with six vegetable options including collard greens, string beans, and spicy red lentils all marinaded in homemade spices. So what are you waiting for? Treat yourself to the exotic flavors of authentic Ethiopian cuisine by visiting Makina Cafe on the streets of NYC and beyond. Trust us. It's well worth hitting the pavement for.
