Ethiopia Restaurant

Rated one of the best Ethiopian Restaurants in the Bay Area-SF Magazine

  • Healthy Vegetarian Buffet
  • Catering
  • Outdoor Patio

Exotic spice blends, enticing sauces, "we't" and a highly nutritious flatbread, "injera", are the basis for Ethiopia's unique and delicious cuisine . In traditional settings, diners prepare for a meal by first washing their hands. They then sit around a large plate sent on "mesob", a colorfully woven basket table. Each dish is spooned onto injera which covers the bottom of the large plate. A separate plate of injera is served, as well. Injera is torn into pieces and then used to pickup morsels of food. Come and enjoy our exotic dishes.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I heard this restaurant had very good food, and okay service. I went there for the first time last night with my girlfriend.. and we had a delightful time. I found it nice that it wasn't super busy because the food was made faster. The lentil and meat samboussa appetizer was EXTREMELY delicious. It was crunchy on the outside, with a nice soft texture of meat on the inside, and exotic seasoning. I highly recommend, if you like spicy food, to order the meat "tibs" with a side of "awaze". The bread was yummy, and although I'm more of a meat guy, my girlfriend could not have enough of the veg. combo. Overall great experience, and fully plan on going back again within the next week.

Pros: The food was an A++

Cons: Not many customers.. but for me that's a pro

I went to this restaurant also based on decent reviews and although the food was decent, was highly disappointed by the service. The seating was prompt despite having a group of 14 since there were few patrons in the restaurant (it was raining outside). However, although we were seated at 7 pm, we did not order until 730 pm, and different people in our group received our food over the span of 30 minutes starting at 820 pm. Some people in our group had almost finished eating before others had even received their food. Also, despite prompting, it took the waitress 10 minutes to bring us our check after being asked. Oh, and the food was "okay"-- certainly wasn't the best Ethiopian food I've had; but, it was fair.

Pros: Parking, Prompt seating, good for groups

Cons: Service!!
