About Arhibu Restaurant

Tear into spongy injera and scoop slow-simmered stews at Moorooka's Arhibu Restaurant, a subterranean spot built for communal dining. Head down the arcade stairs to find massive shared platters loaded with rich doro wat, tender spiced meats, and vibrant vegetarian options. Cutlery stays off the table—you eat by hand, mopping up every drop of spiced sauce with sour flatbread. Cap the feast with freshly brewed buna poured hot from a clay jebena alongside bowls of popcorn.

  • Communal Injera Platters: Large communal platters come lined with spongy, sour fermented flatbread designed to tear and scoop stews by hand.
  • Traditional Coffee Ceremony: Freshly roasted coffee brews in a clay jebena pot, presented alongside aromatic incense and bowls of popcorn.

Why Choose Arhibu Restaurant

Discover traditional Ethiopian dining in Moorooka, featuring communal injera platters, authentic coffee ceremonies, and welcoming group hospitality.

  • Communal Feasts Eaten by Hand

    Guests share large communal platters lined with soft, spongy injera flatbread loaded with varied meat stews and spiced vegetarian dishes, eaten traditionally by hand.

    We ordered a meat and veg combination, which comes with 4 medium size entrees and plenty of Injera for dipping. It's finger food so dig in!

  • Generous Multi-Dish Combinations

    Diners can sample up to four distinct meat and vegetable options on a single platter, with warm hospitality ensuring extra injera to scoop every drop.

    I recommend the meat combination for one person while u can try four different dishes at one time.

  • Traditional Clay Pot Buna Ritual

    Arhibu serves traditional Buna prepared with freshly roasted beans and brewed in a clay jebena, presented with aromatic burning incense.

    The Buna…. includes incense and you get your own Gebena to serve coffee, which was a fun.

  • Multi-Sensory Post-Meal Atmosphere

    The freshly prepared coffee service arrives accompanied by bowls of popcorn and fragrant aromatics, engaging every sense after dinner.

    Also I got the the Ethiopian coffee and I was pleasantly surprised when it came out with a bowl of popcorn and an aromatic scented burner.
