The honey wine was great! The lentil Sanbussa was really delicious. They were spicy but a good type of spicy. I will definitely return to try more.

truly can not say one bad word about this place. from the crisp spicy marg w/ ethiopian spices to the veggie/meat sampler, the chefs didn’t miss a beat. the restaurant space itself is inviting and gives off “enjoy the intimacy of this space” energy. not only that, but the wonderful daughter of the owner took the time to explain how the injera (bread) is made. it’s not everyday that you get great service, an explanation behind the success of a family-owned business, and a beautiful experience with a night out. 10/10 no crumbs left behind

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had such a wonderful experience at Enssaro! The staff greeted me with warm smiles and provided excellent service throughout my visit. The food was absolutely delicious — every Ethiopian dish was full of authentic flavor and made with so much care. I truly loved everything I tried. I came all the way from Atlanta, Georgia, the meal was well worth the trip. Highly recommend Enssaro to anyone who wants to enjoy amazing Ethiopian cuisine!

My favorite Ethiopian place in the entire Bay Area! Love the family that runs this iconic neighborhood fave, Surafel and Solomon and their sister Nesanet. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and their veggie platter always hits. Butacha is also delicious. Excited to see their new spot on College Ave!!!

Perhaps it was an off night here, but coming here for dinner was very disappointing. The servers just didn’t feel like they cared at all. When a mistake happened in our order and half of the food didn’t come, there was no attempt to really acknowledge or resolve. We had to prompt and ask when it might come, if we could cancel what hadn’t been made (kitchen hadn’t even registered the order yet), and were told if we ordered by QR code, there was no canceling even if it hadn’t been started. No empathy for time spent waiting or even caring to let us know when it would be resolved. One appetizer took so long to make it had to be packed up to go, since we’d already finished the main course by then. Food was pretty good (so one extra star), but against a backdrop of waiting and barely any communication. Didn’t seem as if anyone was responsible for our table, since we had to flag folks down to ask about the order and any updates each time.

I am not sure what happened with the management at this place but I used to come here pretty often and I would get really good service. The food was great and the portions were decent. But this last time I went with 2 other people and got the veggie platter for 3 with the mushrooms and the portions were small. Their service was not that good, and we ended up paying over a hundred and fifty dollars and left not feeling satisfied
