WORTHINGTON — Jebena Ethiopian Cuisine in Worthington officially opened its doors Dec. 28, and according to owner Minilik Mersha, business has been booming.
“Most people come, they’re thankful for the food. Many here have to travel a long way to find this kind of food, so it is nice to have it at home,” Mersha said. “Some come in almost every single day.”
Mersha, who has worked toward this project for nearly seven years, said the restaurant has so far exceeded every expectation.
“I was looking at this thing for probably, six, seven years back. After we got into it, we just kept pushing it to make it into this beautiful building. I’m glad we did. Words can’t even describe it.”
From the day it opened, Jebena has been busy. Though the recent cold brought business to a crawl, according to Mersha, things are beginning to pick up again following the restaurant’s ribbon cutting ceremony last Friday.
