About Us
An authentic journey through the flavours, culture, and hospitality of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
A Taste of Ethiopia & Eritrea in Stoke-on-Trent
At Hery Cafe, we invite you to experience the distinctive flavours, traditions, and hospitality of Ethiopia and Eritrea in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent.
Our cuisine is rooted in a rich culinary heritage shaped by generations of cooking, gathering, and sharing. From deeply aromatic spices and slow-cooked dishes to vibrant vegetarian plates and generous sharing platters, every meal is an invitation to discover something authentic, memorable, and full of character.
We believe dining is about more than what is on the plate. It is about the people around the table, the stories shared over a meal, and the feeling of being welcomed somewhere special.
A Ceremony Worth Experiencing
Coffee holds a special place in Ethiopian and Eritrean culture, and the traditional coffee ceremony is an experience in itself.
- 01
Roasted in Front of You
Green coffee beans are roasted and the unmistakable aroma fills the room.
- 02
Brewed in the Jebena
The coffee is carefully brewed in a traditional jebena, unhurried and with care.
- 03
A Moment to Pause
The ceremony is about slowing down, gathering together, and enjoying the moment, a tradition shared across generations.
What We Stand For
We bring the authentic flavours of Ethiopia and Eritrea to your table.
Heritage at Heart
We honour the culinary traditions of Ethiopia and Eritrea through time-honoured recipes, distinctive spices, and authentic cooking methods passed down through generations.
The Joy of Sharing
From generous platters to communal dining, every meal celebrates connection, conversation, and the warmth of true hospitality.
Excellence in Every Detail
From carefully selected ingredients to thoughtfully prepared dishes, we take pride in delivering exceptional quality while staying true to the authentic flavours we cherish.
A Different Way to Dine
At the heart of Ethiopian and Eritrean dining is injera — a traditional teff flatbread that brings every flavour together. Soft, naturally fermented, and wonderfully distinctive, it is served alongside rich stews, tender meats, and vibrant vegetarian dishes.
Our cuisine is defined by bold spices and slow-cooked flavours. From aromatic berbere to carefully blended seasonings, every dish is layered with depth, warmth, and character.
But the experience goes beyond the food. Meals are traditionally enjoyed together from generous sharing platters, creating a relaxed and social way to dine where conversation flows and everyone has something to discover.
Come hungry, gather around the table, and experience a culinary tradition made for sharing.
