Nunu – Japanese
Nunu welcomes guests into a vibrant, aromatic sanctuary where the warm scent of berbere and slow-simmered stews sets the stage for a soulful communal feast. Radiant platters of Misto and tender Beef Tibs arrive as a kaleidoscope of color, inviting diners to scoop up rich Doro Wat and velvety roasted eggplant dip with shards of perfectly crisp bread. This intimate space celebrates deep culinary traditions, balancing the bold, spiced heat of Kitfo with the delicate, earthy richness of house-made pate for a truly immersive dining experience.
