From a family kitchen to the streets
Home-style Ethiopian food, wherever the road takes us.
GIHON began as a family-run San Diego restaurant built around recipes passed through generations. The food truck is the next chapter—bringing the warmth, flavor, and hospitality of the kitchen directly to neighborhoods and events.
Every stop is prepared with fresh ingredients, Ethiopian spices, and the same care that shaped the original restaurant. Come for a quick lunch, bring friends, or invite the truck to your next gathering.
