Makina Café is an Eritrean and Ethiopian eatery rooted in Sunnyside, Queens. Its story began as a food truck, and the business now welcomes guests to a restaurant on Skillman Avenue while continuing to serve New York through catering and events.
Its menu celebrates the shared food traditions of Eritrea and Ethiopia, including shiro, injera, stews, sambusas and vegetarian combinations. The restaurant’s gallery shows communal dining, the Sunnyside space and a range of dishes. Reservations and current menus are available through the business website.
