Hanna is a GEM, as a person and for her food. Our family loves the kale, potato & carrots, lentils and split peas. Favourite place in town for everyone, 4 year old included.

The best food ever!!! My favourite is the trio of lentil sauce, potato and carrot mix and kale! I’ve been a customer since they began their business at the Northside market in Fredericton. Their food is consistently wonderful and I always know I’ll get a great meal.

So happy to have this place on the northside! Used to go to the market often but delighted that theres now a dedicated building. The food is amazing with fresh ingredients and you can taste that its cooked with passion and love. I really like the ordering style where you can get 3 different dishes so you can try a little bit of everything! The portions are generous and the prices are way way worth it, I always tip extra because I feel like its worth so much more:) It makes me happy to support someone local and so passionate about what they do. See you soon and thank you so much Hana !

By far my favorite food in the city!! Bursting with flavor, and everything tastes amazing. Also extremely healthy and cheap, and Hannah is sweet. P.S. You should advertise on university campuses (e.g., flyers, etc.) because I wouldve eaten here almost daily throughout my degree, but I didnt know it existed because google restricts my search results -- and presumably those of other students -- to restaurants on the southside, unless I manually adjust the map.

Food is awesome and reasonably priced, super flavourful and tasty. Lots of vegetarian options and injera means celiac friendly :) Their spice mix is killer, very worth asking for some to take home if you want to enhance your home cooking. Hana is very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely continue to make this a regular spot. A hidden gem of Fredericton for sure!!

From an Ethiopian-born Canadian living in NB .. even tho it takes me an hour and a half to drive to get the food, its sooooo worth it. The gomen (kale), mesir (red lentils), kik (split peas), fasoulia (green beans & carrots), alicha (carrots & potatoes), doro (chicken) and sega (beef) are my favourites! Oh wait, thats what she makes and serves .. it is sooooo yummy and authentic and reminds me of childhood in Ethiopia. Rich flavour, great atmosphere and wonderful hostess/chef.

Three vegetarian combos between my wife, myself, and my two kids (7 and 10). Everyone left full and very happy. The split peas and the lentils were both great - excellent consistency and flavour. The kale was also quite good. Friendly, courteous, counter service. Would come here again, and so would my kids.

Delicious as usual! Ive been eating Hanas food since the Northside Market opened a few years ago. I was glad to see that she has finally opened her own café. The big secret here...is that she does coffee. And by does coffee I dont just mean serve it...she roasts it too. And if you choose the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony she roasts it for you TABLESIDE! I didnt have time to try the ceremony today (it takes 45 minutes) but I definitely look forward to having this unique experience! I did have a macchiato though, and it was tasty...
