Buraka, Madison, Wisconsin Restaurant Details

Food:

Enchanting outdoor seating. Smaller than expected portions for the quality and price but the atmosphere makes up for it. The Raspberry Mango Cheesecake is killer!

Food:

Miss the old atmosphere but the food was great like always.

Food:

Pros: Only Ethopian in Madison, good price, quick service, Injera is authentic, a few inventive items on the menu, drinks were a good price and had a nice tap selection

Cons: Food was room temperature, not particularly flavorful. I expected many more vegetarian offerings considering Ethiopian has a strong vegetarian recipes. The service was eh, there were too few staff to support the restaurant, so not staff's fault. Ordered the duck wontons and there wasn't much duck or many wontons. Unfortunately disappointing food

Overall: despite how much I miss Ethiopian food and this is the only place in Madison, I won't be going back.

Food:

Delicious stews! I'm so glad they're back in business after their previous location was sold to a developer.

Food:

This is the type of "spicy" that makes you feel full and satisfied quickly, but the heat doesn't increase with every bite. Tostones are excellent. For dinner, get the combination plate so you can try two things on the menu. The included salad is very light. Head's up - injera is not an American sourdough-style bread, it is more like a large savory pancake.

The restaurant environment is very clean and modern, but local and charming. On a Tuesday night, just after re-opening at it's new location on Williamson St., it was pretty busy. Locals were eager to have it back and to share this unique spot with friends.
