Yenya Bet Migeb, a new Ethiopian restaurant, will hold its soft opening Saturday at 4 p.m. at 911 N. East St. in Frederick.

According to the restaurant’s website, Yenya Bet Migeb, or “የኛ ቤት ምግብ,” means “Meal from our humble home.” The restaurant describes its concept as “Tradition on a Plate,” with a focus on homemade Ethiopian cuisine, family recipes and live cooking meant to create a warm, authentic dining experience.

The space was formerly home to Jerk N Jive Caribbean Kitchen, which closed in 2024 after seven years in business, and later Mazako, an Afghan restaurant that opened in late 2025 but closed after only a few months.

Yenya Bet Migeb is expected to bring authentic Ethiopian cuisine to the East Street corridor.
