I regret not visiting Asmara regularly when I lived nearby. Warm, friendly service and delicious food.

Food was absolutely phenomenal!! We had the veggie combo and the gored gored. Everything tasted fantastic, especially the gored gored. The seasoning was spectacular.

My family and I have been coming here if not every week - at least every other week and it is the best Ethiopian food in the Bay Area! The food is super consistent regarding taste, portion size, and commitment to excellence!
We love this place and we know you will too!

The food was okay. A bit smaller portions for the price and it could have used more spices. It would have been nice to be able to order a combo of veggie and meat but for one person. There were only 3 of us so it made it hard to get a good sample of different dishes when most everything came in full size.

Best Eritrean in Oakland, imo. The family who runs this place are as beautiful and bright as the sun. Try the Shiro!

My go-to Ethiopian restaurant...never disappoints! Such warm and friendly service to go with the delicious food! Mushroom tibs are shockingly good. Appreciate the 100% teff injera option. Can never go wrong with the veggie combo as a base, then add dishes from there. Amazing!

Well-remodeled interior, dark wood finishes make for an intimate dining experience.
A wide selection of Eritrean classics — vegan, vegetarian and meat.
Manageable portions, a wonderful place to gather for an intimate meal. Traditional dining available in the back of the dining room.
Food and service is excellent.
It’ was nice to see you after long time, as always you guys were so kind to us.Our kids loved shiro .
This place has the friendliest staff and it’s cute and warm feeling inside. The food is consistently delicious, highly recommend the vegetarian plate. They are fairly quick even when they’re very busy (which is often).
