  • Eden Gebre Egziabher owns and operates Makina Cafe, the first and only Eritrean and Ethiopian food truck in New York City. Driven by her passion for the foods she ate as a child growing up in Addis Ababa, Eden serves Eritrean and Ethiopian staples like injera bread, chicken and beef tibs, misir (spicy red lentils), tikel gomen (cabbage with carrots and potatoes), gomen (collard greens), and sambusas, which are similar to samosas. Eden, born and raised in Ethiopia from parents of Eritrean descent, aims to use Makina Cafe to celebrate her two countries of origin and their cuisines.

      She made up that part. There are a lot of women in the food truck/stand/cart business in New York. Of the half a dozen food truck/stand/cart near my office, half are run by women (Halal grill, roast nuts, fruit salad). Look at Munchies' own videos on New York street food, so many are run by women including black women.

      She is vague about her immigration status. Her story implies refuge, but she might be illegal (i.e. was not granted asylum). If she is here as an asylum status, then if she goes back, she looses her "credible fear" and thus her visa/green card is revoked. She could also already be a USC, but unlikely given she never says anything to that affect.

    So uh, 20 seconds in and I'm googling the truck, the menu, the food, and I'm straight diving into what other foods are there and holy moly macaroni I want to eat it all. Hope they are doing well during the pandemic.

    I had Ethiopian food a few years ago. Really tasty and the injera bread was very good.
