What Sets Us Apart

Direct Imports
We’re your trusted local source of Ethiopian food. You'll find what you need on our fully stocked shelves, from teff grain and coffee to other grocery items. While Ethiopian products dominate our shop, we have goods that are directly sourced from different parts of the globe, ensuring quality and authentic taste.

Walking along the aisles of our store feels like traveling around the world. Alem Gebeya is home to a wide variety of exotic spices, Injera, freshly baked bread, dry products, flour, and other cooking supplies. We have everything you need to recreate your favorite traditional dishes.
Affordable Prices
We stand by our belief that everyone deserves to have access to great ingredients and eat delicious food. Hence, we don’t add a huge markup to the wholesale rate of our products. While our pricing may not be as expensive as others, we guarantee that the quality of our products isn’t compromised.
Unmatched Customer Service
You're our priority from the moment you step inside our store until you go home with your purchase. Our store is always kept clean and organized to ensure your safety while shopping. If you need any help in finding any products, we'll be more than glad to assist you.
