NahNa Modern Eritrean Food

"ended up eating here twice while visiting Santa Cruz, that's how good it is! my friends and I ordered one of everything, plus sambusa and it was all delicious. I'm Eritrean and this food was definitely a taste of home for me, which I was so grateful for. the lamb combo was my favorite, definitely make sure to order extra injera and get awaze on the side! owner is super sweet and funny, loved chatting with her. she also have a stand at the Wednesday farmers market :)"

"Just visiting for a few days. On our way to the bookstore saw this place and decided to take a chance. Delicious. The owner is very nice. I will come back before leaving"

"Food is fresh and healthy but a bit bland compared to a proper Ethiopian restaurant. Good vegan options."

"First time I tried NahNa - I got the lamb combo with cauliflower & mushrooms, plus the hibiscus drink. The women owner was super sweet & the customer service great. The food was AMAZING. A little pricey, for the serving sizes, but worth it."

"I loved that this unique regional food was so accessible in downtown Santa Cruz. Everything is delicious, fresh and prepared with a beautiful smile. Worth a visit, stop by you won’t be disappointed. The lady who owns it explained how Eritrean food was a major influence on Ethiopian food and how because of Eritrea’s location along the trade routes of the Red Sea, they were like the original fusion makers, teaching the cultures around them how to mix amazing spices and flavors of the region. She even brought us real plates and treated us to a treat because of how proud of her culture she is! 10/10 recommend!"
