Fresh gluten-free injera made from teff flour
A small home for traditional Ethiopian cuisine in Tel Aviv
Balinjera was born from the wish to open a true Ethiopian table: fresh injera, seasoned stews, vegetables, legumes, meat and flavors rooted in family tradition. The restaurant sits by Carmel Market and Kerem HaTeimanim, connecting homemade food, hospitality and a colorful experience with its own identity.

Fanta's story
Fanta, who was born in Ethiopia and immigrated to Israel, spent years working as a lawyer. Health problems linked to a Western diet led her back to the kitchen she grew up in - and there she rediscovered the health and flavor of her mother's traditional cooking. That journey is where the idea for Balinjera was born: a place that brings Ethiopian-Jewish cuisine to the heart of Tel Aviv. At Balinjera you do not only order a dish. You open the table, tear injera by hand and eat together.
