Welcome to Tsion Cafe
As long time residents of Harlem, we wanted to bring something fresh, healthy, delicious to the taste buds and supportive the artistic talent that is near and far. We are committed to honoring that heritage by providing a space for regular arts events, including live music, poetry nights, film screenings, a writers series – and more. Tsion Cafe is that place and hope you enjoy.
Tsion Café’s menu is influenced by the worldly travels of owner Beejhy Barhany. Our Ethiopian dishes, featuring Beejhy’s mom favorite spices and mixes, along lovely dishes and salads that speak so flavorfully of their Mediterranean beginnings and a selection of tasteful wines from her travels through South America. Come taste our menu to be transported across the world.
Every time you dine at Tsion Cafe, you can help a fellow New Yorker. There are a lot of people out there who continue to make this city run, but in doing so they are putting themselves at risk. These are the essential workers that keep our city going and help us get from point A to point B or allow us access to the things we need. To address this challenge, Tsion Cafe has partnered with NYC through the Restaurant Revitalization Program to support essential workers or anyone in need. Purchase a meal for an essential worker by pledging $12. The meals will also be offered to anyone in need of a free meal. To receive your free meal call 212-234-2070 or tsioncafe@gmail.com to schedule a pickup. Free meals are available at Tsion Cafe at these times for pickup.
