The people who run this place don't sell food, they provide medicine nurtured with love. You can feel the kind love energy when you walk into this place. And the huge glass windows for ample people watching is such a plus. What a beautiful life we get to live. Blessings and abundance to all!
P.S. don't freaking forget to get the sesame, flax, and sunflower smoothie! OMG, medicine never tasted so good and refreshing after spending time in the sun, honey bun!

Very flavorful and delicious food but I found the portion sizes quite small and was not full after dinner

Delicious vegan Ethiopian near us. Truly recommend, one of the best in the neighborhood.

The only reason I’m giving a negative review is because I have gone to this restaurant two times because Google says they’re open, only to get there and they’re closed. Please change this online and I will add Four 4 Stars.

I’ve been obsessively trying all the Ethiopian restaurants in Oakland. Romanat is awesome. We got the veggie combination dish - Delicious, piping hot, flavorful food. Their buticha on the salad is so good. The dine in atmosphere is homey and comfortable, great for a date or a group.

Happy customers come back. Listining to customer's concers and be on their side, even if they are wrong is a good business practice. Third world business strategy is business killer. Just my advice.

I've been craving this food for a while, and I haven't ventured out to try other places since the spot I liked closed down. A friend of mine kept telling me to try this place out, but I was hesitant. I finally decided to grab some to go for lunch today, and... I was pleasantly surprised. I got the Veggie combo and Doro tibs. I don't know if she was the owner, but if she was, her service, the great small talk while the food is coming up, and her good food should make her proud. The spice was on point, good portions, I'm sold. You got yourself a new customer. Pardon the grammar, just was excited about sharing my experience.

I ordered the veg combo. The collard greens and potato carrot dishes were very oily. The injera under the food was completely soaked in oil. It was just too gross to eat. Even the salad had excess oil. The service was slow even though they weren’t busy. I wouldn't mind the wait if the food was good. I’m not sure how this place has good reviews. I’ve been to a lot of Ethiopian places with much better, healthier food.
Ordered the veggie combo for pickup. The portion size was generous, and each dish was tender, flavorful, and fresh tasting, and not overly salty.
Next time I’ll dine in and bring a friend to share. The space was sunny at mid day and smelled like a delicious mix of spices and incense.

We had dinner here on May 31, 2024. We shared a vegan sampler platter and an order of mushroom tibs. Both were delicious, although a bit pricey.
Service was very friendly.
