Buraka to replace Harvest Gain in Union South

Madison’s premiere Ethiopian restaurant, Buraka, opened a temporary location in Union South Wednesday after owner Markos Regassa lost his State Street location. 

After the location closed in 2013, he moved his establishment to Williamson Street — further away from the UW-Madison campus that always supported him. 

Harvest Grain, a sandwich shop located in Union South closed earlier this year due to a lack of student employees. 

Expected to reopen in Spring 2020, Buraka will be a guest vendor until there is enough student employees to reopen Harvest Grain. 

In the warmer months, Buraka has a popular food truck on State Street, often serving UW-Madison students and faculty.
