Fantastic and highly recommended! First time trying Ethiopian cuisine and we went for the sample platter. Every dish was amazing and uniquely flavorful. Injera is a revelation - a filler and utensil AND delicious. A must stop if you are in the Bay Area!

Great indoor and outdoor dining spaces. Delicious food - advice was to order both the vege combo and meat combo instead of the ultimate combo - gets you one of the lamb curries + all the veggies. The spiced tea pairs well with the lentil dishes. Service was kind and friendly. A very well run establishment.

Fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned — no skimpy servings here. The doro wot has the perfect amount of spice and a rich, well-balanced base sauce.
(No filters used on these photos — just look at those vibrant colors! They truly reflect how fresh the food is.)
Look no further — this place is a gem!
P.S. A little tip from an Ethiopian food lover: bring some gloves,...
