What makes Ethiopian catering different
Standard catering tends to be built around individual plates served separately to each guest. Ethiopian catering works differently: the shared platter is at the center, and every guest eats from it together using injera. It is not only a serving style, but an experience that encourages conversation and interaction around the table.
At Balinjera we bring that approach to private events in Tel Aviv: a full menu, fresh injera made from teff flour, and meat and vegan stews alongside each other. That makes it easy to fit an event that includes guests with different dietary needs.
What kind of events suit Ethiopian catering
Ethiopian catering suits a wide range of events: birthdays, conferences, team meals and family gatherings. The colorful, experiential nature of the food makes it an especially good choice for events that want to offer guests something different from a standard meal.
Because the platters are shared, it is easy to scale the quantity to the size of the event, from a small family meal to a larger gathering. We recommend reaching out in advance so we can coordinate the menu and serving style together.
How it works in practice
When you order Ethiopian catering from Balinjera, we arrive with a full menu based on the dishes served at the restaurant: legume stews, seasoned vegetables, meat and vegan dishes, all served on fresh injera. The warm atmosphere that characterizes the restaurant comes along with the food.
For anyone looking to add something different to their next event, Ethiopian catering is a way to bring new flavors, a rich cultural story and a shared eating experience that reminds guests that a good meal is also a chance to connect.
