Tutu was born and raised in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and comes from a large, happy family. In recent years, she has been living and working in Reading, where she’s built a strong community of friends and created a hugely popular Ethiopian food business. She also does an amazing Open Mic Night 😛 

Tutu serves a variety of traditional Ethiopian dishes, from hearty lentil stews like Misr Wot to gently spiced vegetable dishes such as Tikel Gomen and Habesha Gomen. Each dish is made with authentic Ethiopian flavors, carefully prepared to suit a range of palates, from mild to medium-hot.
