Absolutely delicious, colorful, healthy food! We ordered takeout for dinner tonight and had the chicken and mushrooms, Mela platter, beef tibs and sambusa. The portions were generous and everything was fresh and seasoning was off the chain!!! Try the brownies for dessert - you will not be disappointed!! When in Oakland, order from Mela Bistro 😋❤️😃
Amazing staff, mind blowing food‼️
Hands down the best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had. You must get the Berbere Chicken & Beef Meatballs. The flavor and spice actually gave me goosebumps. It was really delicious. The Asa Kitfo was amazing as well. Every dish we had was plated well and tasted better. The service was excellent and the decor was modern but still had cultural vibes. I highly recommend!
