A beautiful place that showcases Eritrean culture with the most delicious foods! Everyone should come to Cafe Eritrea, it’s truly such a delightful place. It also has great vegan options!
January 2026
It’s been my favorite restaurant since moving to the neighborhood two years ago. The food is not only consistently fantastic, but it is always extremely deeply flavorful. The Lamb alicha, my current favorite, has a lot of warming spices that meld well, and every other bite a new one surfaces: green cardamom, later ginger, then a chili powder. Don’t skip the flax seed milkshake, which is toasty, rich, and flavored with honey. Service is friendly and quick. My favorite!

This is, hands-down, the best Eritrean restaurant in the Bay Area. The food is always excellent, the staff is wonderful, and it’s a completely authentic, home dining experience with mostly Eritrean patrons.
