East Afro Eatery
Our Menu
Dishes rooted in tradition, prepared with love, presented with pride.
East Afro Food Truck was born from a deep love of food, culture, and community, rooted in Ethiopian and Eritrean traditions where meals bring people together and stories are shared.
When we moved to Vancouver, we saw an opportunity to introduce these rich, authentic flavors to those who had never experienced them, inspiring us to share our home-style cooking with the community.
Every dish we serve is made with care, using traditional recipes, bold spices, and fresh ingredients — our promise is to deliver authentic, comforting, and unforgettable food in every bite.
