Best ethiopian i've had
by evapilot967 at Citysearch
I felt compelled to give this place a shout out. The food was much better than I expected; a diamond in the rough. The kitfu was outstanding and the beef cubes as well. The honey wine is worth the price, and according to the bottle, bottled here in oakland! so i'll be looking to pick some more up. If you've never had ethiopian, or any african food, dont let this place intimidate you! It's easy to pick up (no silverware!) and the flavors will impress! Give'm a shot, they really deserve the business.
- Pros: outstanding food quality and flavor
- Cons: interior is a little bland, but that's not why we eat is it?

great mesir wot, BEST INJERA
by msr203 at Citysearch
this is undoubtedly some of the best ethiopian food i've ever had...the mesir wot is amazing and i love the beef kitfo.the injera is impressive...not the harshly tart or rubbery feel of many places i've been to, which tends to overwhelm other dishes. instead, messob's injera is light and slightly tangy.
the service was friendly and the portions are generous. plus - you can order ahead and pick up your food in 20 minutes or so! highly recommended
- Pros: food, service
- Cons: parking
