Oromian Restaurant

Oromian Restaurant in Salt Lake City serves authentic East African food with vegan and vegetarian options, all made with traditional Ethiopian flair.

Rundassa Eshete, the owner, came to America on a scholarship and later helped his family immigrate to Utah, where he initially bought a business called African Mini Mart.

The restaurant's decor features tables and a bar made from recycled wood, crafted by Rundassa's cousin, Brian Vorwaller, showcasing his woodwork talents.

Dishes on the menu are named in the Oromo language, reflecting the Eshete family's nationality and culture.

The restaurant is found at 1522 South State Street in Salt Lake City and can be contacted at (801) 978-9673, with lunch available weekdays by reservation, and it is closed on Sundays.
