Ghion Cultural Hall

Ghion Cultural Hall was a full-service Ethiopian restaurant located at the Pizitz Food Hall. The Atlanta-based business was recruited by Bayer Properties to join the food hall as one of the earliest restaurants to offer Ethiopian cuisine in Alabama.

Co-owner Amanshwa Takele, who grew up in a family of restaurateurs in Addis Ababa, operated the Birmingham location, which offered a full range of dishes focusing on a variety of tibs served with injera on large, shareable platters. Ghion also offered a ceremonial coffee service.
