Waliimo
NOCHI
Thu, May 29 11:00am - 1:00pm
Journey to East Africa at Waliimo (wah-LEE-moh), brought to you by the Spring ‘25 cohort. The rich culinary heritage of Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, and beyond takes center stage - infused with the ingredients, techniques, and traditions that define the region. From smoky grilled meats to fragrant rice and vegetable-forward stews, Waliimo invites you to gather, share, and savor the unexpected.
Before our Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry Arts students complete their six-month certifications, they create a pop-up café as their capstone project. This original concept is dreamed up and executed entirely by the students as their culmination of everything they’ve learned at NOCHI.
Net proceeds and donations from the pop-up fuel the NOCHI Scholarship Fund which allows us to open career pathways for students who rely on financial assistance to enroll. You can donate by attending or click here to support from afar!
The pop-up is open for service at lunch, with seatings at 11am, 11:15am, 11:30am, 11:45am, 12:00pm, 12:15pm, 12:30pm, 12:45pm, 1pm.
If your party is larger than 6 people, please email info@nochi.org to make a reservation.
