Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, NY · $$
After a dedicated journey of serving the the Fort Greene community since 2009, Bati has now found a new, larger home on the border of Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy. We're thrilled to continue serving the neighborhood favorites you love, like Doro Wat and Kitfo, alongside our long list of vegan staples, including Missir and Shiro. But that's not all. We've elevated your Bati experience with a stunning new addition – a beautiful bar gracing our interior. Here, you'll discover signature craft cocktails that are masterfully infused with our unique spices and flavors, perfectly complementing our delectable dishes. The name Bati is a nod to the rich heritage of a region in northern Ethiopia. Bati was a bustling Monday market and a vibrant meeting place, and it played a significant role in the world of Ethiopian music. With our cozy and inviting interior, our aim is to transport you to a place where you can truly feel the Essence of Bati – where tradition meets modernity, and the flavors of Ethiopia come to life. We can't wait to have you join us at our new space. Welcome to the heart of Bati!
“Bati is such a cozy, laid-back spot with some seriously delicious dishes. My group (three of us total) walked in and split the vegetarian sampler for two and the rosemary beef tibs, with some extra injera just to be sure. Man was it an awesome meal! We were able to try such a variety of flavors and ingredients, and everything was plated so beautifully. The staff was lovely too and did not rush us at all. Bati is just an all-around comfortable, affordable and tasty restaurant that I highly recommend to anyone interested in Ethiopian cuisine.”
“✨ Culture, flavor & vibes all in one bite 👏🏾 Bati Kitchen in Brooklyn brings Ethiopia to NYC 🇪🇹🍽️ For our feast, we tried Tsom,an assortment of injera with vegan sides like tikil gomen, key sir, gomen, and creamy shiro in the center plus the Bati rosemary tibs, tender beef cubes tossed in herbs & spices.

“here alllll the time lately! at least 1x/week for about a month and a half now! every staff member is welcoming, caring and embodies hospitality. the food is authentic and delicious, the menu wonderfully curated. the espresso martini is like none i’ve had anywhere else, it reminds me of a yoo-hoo chocolate milk! great place to spend the evening.”
“Very Authentic! We stopped by with out a reservation and got a seat. Very thankful it wasn’t very crowded on this night. But as the night progressed the place did fill up! (Make reservation) The area is up and coming and I actually got parking on the street around the corner. This was very convenient. I was with some meat eaters so they ordered meat dishes and I had the vegetarian option of course. They kept mine separate! Very happy they accommodated. Place was quiet and very open. It wasn’t cramped. Very clean Bathrooms. I must return to try this place again.”
“First time trying Ethiopian and I really wanted to like it and leave a glowing review, but I can’t. The service was very warm and inviting and the interior was beautiful, but the food just wasn’t hitting. I got the 7 Hour Doro Wot, which is the national chicken dish cooked in a spicy onion and Berbere stew, served with a hard-boiled egg. It comes with two sides, and my waitress recommended the Missir Wot, which is stewed split lentils, and Shiro, a saucy chickpea dish. It all came served on a bed of injera, which is a spongy, sour, pancake-like flatbread, and they gave me a small plate of extra injera on the side. The food looked flavorful, but I was super disappointed once I took a bite of the chicken. I was expecting tender, moist meat, and instead it was hard and dry. The stew wasn’t flavorless, but it also didn’t have much going on. The lentils were okay, and the only thing I really liked was the chickpeas. On the bright side, it was a pretty filling meal, though that might have been because I had a double smashburger an hour earlier.”
