Who We Are

Our Story

A heritage that runs deep, a passion that runs deeper.

HomeOur Story
The Beginning

Born From Tradition,
Built 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.
