I used to eat here during my Columbia years. Happy to be back. Lots of elbow room to try the food you eat with your hands.

aboutus
Massawa Restaurant is the oldest Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurant in New York City, serving authentic East African cuisine since 1988.
We prepare our food using fresh, high-quality ingredients, offering a diverse menu that ranges from mild to spicy flavors. While Massawa is especially known for its hearty vegan and vegetarian dishes, we also serve fish, beef, lamb, chicken, and shrimp. Every dish can be customized to your preferred spice level.
Dining at Massawa is meant to be shared. Many dishes are served on large platters with traditional injera, making our restaurant ideal for intimate dinners, family meals, and group gatherings.
Complete your meal with honey wine (tej), an Eritrean beer, or our traditional Ethiopian coffee, buun.
