Since 2007, Demera restaurant has served up authentic Ethiopian cuisine to Chicago residents and visitors. Traditional recipes are prepared from scratch, and many of their spices are grown in Ethiopia and shipped directly to the restaurant, making the flavors distinctively bold and vibrant.

Its flagship restaurant in Uptown and newer walk-up location in the Time Out Market in Chicago’s West Loop serve about 2,500 meals each week. Chef/owner Tigist Reda’s passion extends beyond the restaurant to community engagement and philanthropy. Demera hosts and participates in fundraising dinners, popup events, and partnerships every year to support causes addressing those in need, with particular focus on the humanitarian crisis in Tigray, Ethiopia.
