We are a group of refugee women from war-torn Eritrea and surrounding Horn of Africa countries who have established an A-La-Carte African restaurant in Brisbane following Federal Government funding approval for our unique community-based project.

Called Mu’ooz, which means “tasty and healthy” in Tigrinya (the language of Eritrea and parts of Ethiopia), the profits from the catering business will be directed back to our community via the Eritrean Women and Family Support Network.

As well as providing an opportunity for paid employment for refugee women and their families, the restaurant improves cross-cultural understanding and assist with breaking down barriers in the local community.
