Very nice Ethiopian restaurant with good vegetarian options. One of the lentil dishes is pretty spicy so careful if you can't handle spice! The inside is clean and well-maintained with nice Ethiopian decorations. Parking is nearby (it looks like the front of a house, but it's okay to park there). The area is not the greatest so prefer to eat during the daytime and remember to take valuables with you!
Food was great. A slightly more spicy would've been better but you can tell them to provide hot spices as a side 😄
We loved the doro watt chicken, they were well cooked and amazingly delicious.I would recommend you all to give it a try! Thanks 👍
Soooo glad we came here for dinner. Lots of street parking, l dont think they have a private lot. It wasn't too busy when we came on a wednesday night. 1 or 2 other groups were there while we were there. Saw a few takeout orders! Service waa friendly. Food waa soooo amazing! We ordered a meat combo and lamb plate to share! Pkus and order of sambusas. And we still had lots of leftovers so definitely enough food. Generous portions. Spice and flavor was great. The lamb was probably my favorite but everything was really good. The sambusas were hot crispy and flaky! They saw we were low on injera and brought us more! Probably some of the best ethiopian food I've had. Will for sure be back here again!
this was my family's favorite Ethiopian place for at least 10 years. it was very evident there was a change in ownership recently, as the quality of food diminished significantly, along with service. complete lack of depth of flavor, clearly not as fresh as it once was. extremely saddened by this. once was a 5-star establishment and now would not think to go back again.
Delicious Ethiopian food and fantastic service! The owner friendly demonstrated the best way to enjoy the Ethiopian cuisine 😋 Great vibes! Will definitely come back
It is with a heavy heart that I learned of the change of ownership for this wonderful place after 29 years of epic management and exceptional service. This establishment has been an integral part of the Bay Area community and has provided countless unforgettable experiences to its patrons. I am grateful for the amazing experiences that I have had at this restaurant and feel blessed to have been a part of their journey. The owners have been the most amazing people, and their authenticity has made the restaurant a staple in the community. Although it is sad to see them go, I am excited for the next chapter of their lives and wish them all the best on their journey. I know that their legacy will continue to live on, and the Bay Area community will miss their talent and dedication. I would like to personally thank the owners for their exceptional service and authentic Ethiopian cuisine. They have truly made a lasting impact on the community and have created unforgettable memories for their patrons. Thank you for 29 years of excellence and for sharing your passion with us. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
