Overview

Roha Ethiopian Bar & Restaurant is more than a place to dine. It is a celebration of Ethiopian culture, community and connection in the heart of Footscray.

Founded by internationally renowned Ethio-jazz saxophonist Solomon Sisay, Roha brings together the rich flavours of Ethiopia, warm traditional hospitality, and the vibrant musical heritage that has inspired audiences around the world. Named in honour of Ethiopia's legendary Roha Band, our restaurant pays tribute to a cultural legacy through authentic food, soulful music and memorable experiences.

Gather with family and friends to enjoy traditional dishes including house-made injera, slow-cooked stews, vegetarian specialties and carefully curated beverages. Whether you're reconnecting with the tastes of home or discovering Ethiopian cuisine for the first time, Roha offers an experience that is welcoming, authentic and unforgettable.

Beyond the dining table, Roha is a place for celebration. Join us for regular Ethio-jazz and traditional music nights, enjoy our thoughtfully selected wine list, or host your next special occasion in a unique cultural setting. From birthdays and family gatherings to corporate events and community celebrations, our team can create a tailored experience for groups of all sizes.
