“I recently enjoyed a catered lunch from this local place. Never eaten East African cuisine before and definitely not familiar with it,I was skeptical at first..Once the lids came off and I got a whiff of that aroma, oh my goodness! One of *THEE* best lunches I've had too date.Nothing too spicy , hearty and delicious..Absolutely perfect on a cold day or night. Warm and filling and made with love & perfection.Thankyou.”

“I got this delivered via Caviar so can’t speak to atmosphere (I think it’s a ghost kitchen maybe?) but the order was fast as heck and legit one of the best meals I’ve eaten in recent memory.A ton of food, generous portions, and just mind blowingly tasty. I got the pork bowl and every element was perfect. The meat was tender and so flavorful. Every combination of elements in the bowl creates a perfect bite.I can be kind of picky about food and this was a revelation, especially on a rainy winter night.I also ordered the bacon Brussels sprouts but I’m so full from the bowl I’ll save those for tomorrow.The world’s loudest YUM!!!!!”

“Salema is an amazing person. The way she serves is fantastic. The food is incredible, with great quality and generous portions. The owner even checks in with every customer at their table to make sure they're happy with the food. This is one of the most highly recommended Habesha restaurants in Bay area. Cafe Eritrea is a must try..!”

“I went there on Saturday 19th Oct. The Jollof Rice and Plantains were good, but The meat that was Given for my Money was Horrible. The Goat And Beef was Hard and The Goat had that Goat Scent. Plus your Portion of Meat was not Desirable. I had to go home and make Stew Chicken to Eat with the Rice and Plantains.”

“9jagrills is one of the best places for authentic Nigerian cuisine in Oakland. The food is prepared with real care, and it shows in every bite: everything I've tried has been full of flavor and delicious. The portions are generous too, especially for the price, so you leave full and feeling like you got great value for your money. If you're looking for true Nigerian cooking in the Bay Area, 9jagrills is well worth a visit. A big thank you to the chef. Highly recommended!”
