Breakfast Menu "Walia Ethiopian Cuisine" San Jose

Great food. Diehard non-vegetarians, too, will be inclined towards their vegetarian preparations! We ordered the Larry Page family platter with extra dishes of Lamb and Chicken amongst 4 of us. We were full but wanted to eat more! The best thing is you don't feel the heaviness after eating! Quiet pleasant atmosphere. Prompt service.

This was the first time my husband and I had ethiopian food. The food was delicious! We had the veggies sampler with Lamb tibs for two. The waiter was very helpful in explaining the menu and what to expect with different dishes since it was our first time.

So delicious! Love the kitfo. Also props to the restaurant for having a fixed service charge and not have a field for extra tips on the credit card receipt. Every step towards getting rid of tipping culture helps. Parking can be a little rough, beware.

This place is run by arrogant and rude folks who've taken patronage for granted just coz back in the day they had received good reviews. But I warn you to go there at your own risk because you'll get NO SERVICE, the food quantities have been drastically cut and prices increased and at least the place is FILTHY on the verge of being unhygienic. We reached there on a Wednesday at 7:30p and there were only about 5 out of 15 tables occupied, so fairly light traffic which should have been good, except we waited almost 10 mins at the entrance before anyone even acknowledged us and got us seated on a uncleaned table which was cleaned only after we sat down. Then we waited for almost 35mins before I finally walked up to the back of the restaurant to place my order because NO ONE CAME to our table to had us the menu let alone take our food order. We waited another 15mins (so a total of 50mins) before finally a waiter was summoned to give us a glass of water!! When the food finally arrived the quantity had reduced dramatically from the last time I'd been here appox 4 yrs back and it was meh.....! By this time we had given up expecting any visit by the waiter to see if we wanted more injera or water to to expect a bill. So I walked up to the back and paid for the food only to see that a 20% SERVICE FEE was already added to the bill. It was almost 9:15p and many of the tables still had dirty dishes that had been sitting there since we'd walked in almost 75mins back. See the pictures for yourself! What a con!!! They have the gumption to charge 20% service fee for being rude, unfriendly and disgusting!! NEVER EVER going there again esp. since there are plenty of decent Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurants in and around this place.

They had the traditional Ethiopian food. The restaurant is next to Lingerie shop. No parking was available outside. We had veggie platter with chicken. Food was good. I was surprised to see 20% added gratuity for people of 2 in the bill.

Amazing food. We had ordered multiple dishes. The staff asked if we would like to have it served “family style”, in which they serve everything in a single big plate. We loved the experience.

This is my third visit to this place. I tried veggie sampler + chicken tibs. Chicken tibs is really juicy and delicious. Injera rolls are fluffy and fresh. They would be awesome if they are warm/hot. Must try. ! For a beginner, I would suggest not to taste Injera roll directly, instead grab a piece with loads of curry. You will definitely like it !

Yum! Ethiopian food: so many options and various levels of spice. Family owned and operated with a welcoming team that will explain the menu if you are new at ordering or looking for your favorite dishes. Cool feature of ordering via text! Great for take out or to enjoy inside the restaurant. Traditional coffee ceremony also available!
