Mike Tsega, Co-Founder & CEO

Born and raised in Ethiopia, he learned unwritten recipes and classic serving techniques from his mother, who owned and ran a restaurant business for the past 45 years. Growing up near and around restaurants, spending his teenage years in the kitchen with his mother, and eventually taking over and managing the business as an adult, has given him the passion and knowledge to create and run successful restaurants.
