Food friends are forever friends..

For many culture’s food and cuisine are more than simply flavours, spices and scents — it’s a cultural fabrication of customs and traditions which brings people together, fosters community, and preserves a feeling of identity.

In many cultures, food is seen as a way to bring people closer, creating a sense of intimacy and trust.

This shared experience—whether it’s cooking together or simply enjoying a meal — often becomes a cherished moment that deepens the friendship, reinforcing the idea that good friends become forever friends through these simple but meaningful acts of sharing.

For us there is no other food that quite symbolises community quite like injera, a type of flatbread — made from fermented teff flour, known for its spongy texture and slightly sour taste.

It serves not only as food but as an integral part of Ethiopian dining, acting as both a plate and a utensil.

Dishes like stews and vegetables are placed on top of the injera, and pieces of it are torn off to scoop up the food, making the meal a communal experience.

You see, ethiopian food is meant to be shared. Traditionally, friends and families will gather around a large communal plate, eating from the same dish of injera bu wat (flatbread with stew), using their hands to artfully eat the meal.

Knees rub together as groups crowd around the shared dish, offering each other bites of food, sharing stories, and laughing together.

In today’s fast-paced world, the simple act of eating together can easily be overlooked.

Communal dining is a time for connection, where we share stories, laugh together, and strengthen bonds. It’s not just about the food – it’s about the magic that happens when we gather around the table. 

So, join us and share an Injera (or two!) at our monthly supper club.

Whether they’re food enthusiasts, curious about various contemporary cuisines , or just looking to make new friends, our monthly supper club is open to anyone who enjoys good food and great company.

You can sign up via our website here, social media, Eventbrite or by sending us a message directly, where we’ll provide details about our upcoming events and gatherings.

We host regular communal meals where injera and other delicious homestyle dishes are shared, offering a warm and welcoming space for everyone to connect over food, stories, and laughter.

It’s not just about the meal—it’s about creating memories and building friendships, one shared plate at a time.
