Our Story

Injera Hub is a tribute to our beloved mother, Tsige Ogbamichael Haile, a renowned chef and the author of the first Ethiopian/Eritrean cookbook, "Enat Gauda," published in Amharic in 1983. With over a decade of success running a celebrated restaurant and catering countless weddings and celebrations, she passed her culinary legacy to us, her children and grandchildren. From a young age, we were immersed in the family business, learning the art of traditional cooking and the value of preserving our food heritage.

Cultural Significance

Injera is the heart of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. This spongy, sourdough flatbread made from teff flour is not only delicious but also a symbol of our culture and heritage. Rich in nutrients, teff is a superfood packed with complete proteins, fibre, and essential minerals. At Injera Hub, we honour this tradition by serving authentic, nutritious, and inclusive meals, offering a range of vegetarian, vegan, and meat options that celebrate the diversity of our cuisine.
