The building at 5115 Fredericksburg Road was home to beloved local hot spot, Sangria on the Burg, for seven years before its chef and owner rebranded the space into a new concept, Saucy Birds, in early 2024. By summer, Saucy Birds was out, and the location sat vacant until recently, as a new restaurant has opened in its stead.
Amen Cafe Eritrean & Ethiopian Restaurant is now open on Fredericksburg Road, offering an assortment of East African dishes. It is not clear when exactly the Ethiopian restaurant moved in, but social media posts show activity around early January. MySA has reached out to Amen Cafe to find out more about the business.
A website for Amen Cafe provides a certain amount of information about the business, including details about its menu offerings. The menu features of number of hearty stews and savory meat dishes that can eaten with Amen Cafe’s signature injera, a sourdough flatbread widely found in Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking. Vegan options are plentiful, and like all of the restaurant’s dishes, they come prepared with imported Ethiopian spices.
