Buna Cafe Philly 5121 Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19143

"This place is a disgrace to Ethiopian food. Super small portions of food for the high price. Although the Doro Wot was delicous, it was smallest chicken I have ever seen and they gave only two pieces and one boiled egg. The meat combo plate (Siga Wot and Siga Alicha w/ two veggie sides) was very underwhelming. The meat portions were tiny and barely flavorful. The veggies were just ok. We did have an order of chicken and beef samosas. Those were good. Sad that the appetizers at a restaurant tastes much better than the entrees. The customer service needs lots of work as well. Although this place is BYOB, our server wouldn't bring us cups until we ordered food. I guess she did us a favor by providing us with cups of water first. Our server brought our food out and we never saw her again. No other staff member checked on us either to see if we needed anything (and a few of them passed us as they were in and out of the restaurant). I was irritated and we were ready to leave. I went inside to pay the bill since no one came back to our table outside. Like we literally could have gotten up and went to our car and left. That's how ignored we felt. We did notice how the staff were being very attentive to other patrons inside the restaurant (Ethiopian as well and possibly family and/or friends). An Ethiopian guy (seemingly the owner or manager) was behind the counter and I told him I wanted to pay the bill. He had the nerve to ask how was everything. I said it was ok. I paid in cash and didn't leave a tip. That'll be the last time I go to this place as I do not recommend it whatsoever. I'm sure there are better Ethiopian spots in the Philly area."

"This restaurant was really nice and the food was really good! First time having Ethiopian food and it was delicious! The host was so polite and helped me make a great food decision. I'll definitely be back to try a different dish."

"The food will knock the socks out of your feet. Dora wat was simply outstanding. Try their Baclava, too."

"I’ve been coming here since 2021 and it is my favorite place to dine. When first walking in the establishment you’re immediately welcomed with greetings and the aroma the most delightful smells that bring excitement. The best way i can describe the ambiance is an oasis full of love and gratitude. You can’t help but to smile while enjoying anything that you order off the menu, accompanied with good vibe music. Best Ethiopian spot in Philadelphia hands down!"
