Description
Not long after his family's arrival from Ethiopia, Rundassa Eshete bought out a business from a Sudanese family that was on Redwood Road called African Mini Mart in hopes of providing work for his newly immigrated family. They kept the name and mini-mart for a few years and added the restaurant to the business, the first Ethiopian restaurant for Utah. With the new location and re-opening of the restaurant, they renamed the restaurant to reflect the nationality of the Eshete family and millions of others living in the horn of Africa. Oromia is the largest landmass in Ethiopia and the largest nationality of people living in Ethiopia yet their language, culture, and identity has been suppressed and demeaned for over a century. The struggle continues today but finally, the language and its people are gathering momentum to stand up for their identity. In addition to the name change to Oromian Restaurant, their menu has chosen to call the different dishes by their Oromo name. Enjoy the delicious East African cuisine!
