Since 2007, Demera Ethiopian Restaurant has become a Chicago favorite and a hub for the city's Ethiopian-American community.

Chef & Owner Tigist Reda, hailing from Ethiopia and residing in Chicago for over 20 years, learned the art of Ethiopian cuisine from her family. Now, she delights in sharing her heritage and culinary expertise with guests, making Demera a cherished dining destination.

For many of the guests experiencing Demera Ethiopian Restaurant, for the first time or as repeat customers, what impresses and fascinates them the most is not only the exciting flavors, excellent service, and exotic traditions of Ethiopia but also the experience of communal “family-style” hand-eaten meals shared among family and friends.

Demera has been recognized and received excellent reviews from the Chicago press, such as: Eater 38 Essential Chicago Restaurants, Hungry Hound, Yelp, Zagat, Check Please!, And Michelin Guide Recommended, among others.
