Amazing neighborhood family restaurant. Delicious and healthy food, amazing coffee and drinks.
The best! That's it. If you're looking for some authentic Ethiopian food, cooked with love and tastes like it, do not skip on this Oakland gem. The women who run this restaurant have the most beautiful spirit and smiles. Nothing fancy, just simple and perfect. Enjoy and only share this place with positive folks with good vibes.
One of my favorite places in Oakland. Food is absolutely delicious and the lady who runs it is so sweet!
