Habesha Ethio-Eritrean Restaurant

Habesha Ethio-Eritrean Restaurant Step into our space, where handwoven baskets, vibrant artwork, and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee (*bunna*) transport you to the highlands of East Africa.

**Habesha Ethio Eritrean Restaurant**
Nestled in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa, Habesha Ethio Eritrean Restaurant is a celebration of the rich culinary traditions and warm hospitality of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Born from a passion to share the vibrant flavors and communal spirit of the Horn of Africa, Habesha has overcome challenges—from sourcing authentic spices to crafting a menu that honors cen

turies-old recipes—to bring an unforgettable dining experience to our community. Our kitchen is a tapestry of aromatic stews (*wats*), tender grilled meats (*tibs*), and naturally fermented *injera*, the iconic sourdough flatbread that anchors every meal. Whether savoring the fiery depths of *berbere* spice in *Doro Wat* (chicken stew) or the earthy simplicity of *Shiro* (spiced chickpea puree), each dish tells a story of heritage and home. We proudly cater to diverse palates, offering an array of vegan and gluten-friendly options, ensuring everyone gathers around the *mesob* (traditional woven basket) in joy. Our team, led by chefs steeped in generational knowledge, is dedicated to crafting meals that nourish both body and soul. More than a restaurant, Habesha is a bridge between cultures. We invite you to slow down, share a platter, and connect over coffee ceremonies that honor Ethiopia’s legacy as the birthplace of coffee. Thank you, Des Moines, for embracing our journey. Join us as we continue to weave tradition, flavor, and community into every bite.
