Delicious East African & Ethiopian Cuisine!

11:00am-2:00am Monday-Sunday

Story

Many of our dining guests have asked what "Buraka" means and the culture of our dishes. Here's our story...our name is that of the owner's great grandfather; a tradition in Ethiopia where family names are honored and carried on for generations. The name comes from the Oromo language and means "joy and contentment"; sentiments popularly shared among our customers!

Buraka originated in Madison in 1992 as a popular food cart at the UW's library mall and later into a full service restaurant located off the Capitol Square. In April of 2000, Buraka moved to State Street location.

Our menu consists of Ethiopian and other East African dishes. Ethiopian cuisine is best known for it's rich and exotic mix of spices; such as Berbere, Garlic, Cardamom, Ginger, Cumin, Coriander, Curry Powder and many more that give our dishes a delicious, unique flavor and aroma. Ethiopian cuisine is also famously known for its unique traditional sourdough bread, "Injera" made from whole grain Teff flour, native to Ethiopia. Our menu offers a range of mild and spicy dishes with a variety of meat, vegetarian and vegan options.

Last but certainly not least is Buraka's coffee. Rich & authentic selections of Ethiopia's coffees are brewed here everyday. Buraka features a full espresso bar as well as individual french press coffees. Ethiopia, in fact, was the first land in history to cultivate coffee and produces some of the finest and most flavorful coffees in the world.

REALLY good food! The plantain appetizer was delish, and the several dishes I've had are all excellent. The friendly service and atmosphere makes it a place to go back to!

I love this restaurant. The food is delicious and the staff are always friendly. Just tried their cocktail called "Buraka Breeze" and it was so delicious. I highly recommend it.

Went here with a group and loved it. We all got tasty cocktails. When I asked the server if she had any vegan pointers, she said she was also vegan and proceeded to help me find the menu items that worked. All was tasty, and there was plenty for leftovers (I thought it tasted good cold the next day).

Ethiopian food is a real hit or miss. I have had it all over the country and the range in tastes and spices are so vast. Buraka is actually very delicious. Very nice menu. Would like if they served the tea options better.
