Why Ethiopian food is a great choice for a social lunch

• Made for sharing: Ethiopian meals are often served as shared plates, which naturally makes the table more interactive and social.
• Plenty of options for different diets: Many dishes are plant-forward (lentils, chickpeas, vegetables), making it easier to accommodate vegetarian/vegan preferences.
• Teff-based injera: Injera is typically made from teff (a naturally gluten-free grain) and is fermented, which many people find lighter than some breads.
• Flavorful spices: Ethiopian spice blends (such as berbere) commonly include ingredients like garlic and ginger, which are widely associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Important note on payment

• This is a pay-your-own-way meetup. Each attendee is expected to pay for their own meal and drinks directly to the venue.

We know that meeting new people can sometimes feel daunting, so we have one simple rule: Come as you are.

• Bring your awkwardness.
• Bring your social anxiety.
• Just be yourself.

This is a purely social experience designed to help neighbors and colleagues become friends. There’s no networking agenda and no pressure to be "on" just grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and say hi.

### The Plan

The goal is simple: connect on Tuesday morning for about 30 minutes and, if you hit it off with others, use this as a chance to plan fun activities for the upcoming weekend! Whether it’s a hike, a movie, or exploring a new food spot, the weekend starts with the connections we make here.

### Quick Details

• Meeting Point: Starbucks Symonds Street.
• Cost: Free to join (just pay for your own coffee/snacks).
• Frequency: We meet every single Tuesday!
