Bayu Ethiopian - Hillcrest

Ethiopian food has made it's way into hillcrest. Taking over what use to be Blue Cafe, the family style eating experience is great way to enjoy a meal.

Berbere is a cooking style that incorporates red pepper and dark spices, that gives dishes a robust and spicy kick. The yebeg wot, a lamb stew in a Berbere sauce with garlic and ginger was fantastic.. Flavorful, succulent and warm fiery spice:



The meal is served on injera, a thin pancake like flat bread made from teff flour. It's allowed to ferment for a day, then baked on one side, creating a soft spongy like bread. Tear a piece an scoop some food into it.. This is a hands on project!

The shiro dish, ground split peas simmered with a blend of Berbere spices, stewed into a creamy sauce comes served in a stone bowl.

Finely chopped collard greens cooked with garlic, chile and ginger :


A variety of vegetarian options, flavorful meat dishes and distinct flavors welcome you at Bayu.
