New York (TADIAS) — As Ethiopian food continues to grow in popularity across the U.S., the East Village just got its newest culinary addition: Haile Bistro. The family operated restaurant owned by Hiwot Gezaw and her husband Menasie Haile, offers Ethiopian takeout and sit-down meals, and is located at Avenue B, between 11 & 12th street, in what used to be a Japanese fusion cuisine establishment.
“Haile is a well known Ethiopian name so it works out perfectly,” said Teddy Gezaw, Hiwot’s entrepreneurial younger brother who helps manage the business and whose nickname in high school was also ‘Haile.’
Hiwot said she prepares the food “the way she likes to make it at home.”
Next time you are in the neighborhood you should stop by and try their veggie and meat combo and enjoy their selection of Ethiopian beer and wine.
