We are staunch Ethiopian food eaters, and this is my new favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the bay area, and perhaps in the US. We shared a meat platter, which was absolutely incredible. Food is fresh, well spiced, and generous. We will most definitely be back! Thank you!
Super amazing food with no Canola oil! Soo delicious and very friendly owner
Wonderful experience! Delicious food and great service. We got the vegetarian platter for two, the veggie tibs (no bell peppers), and shiro wot (which was a few of our favourite) between 4 people because we were all pretty hungry. The server was super helpful with our questions and providing us with recommendations.
I love this place! I definitely recommend!
The staff were very friendly and willing to create a custom drink for my wife. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable for the market.
Nice food. We order the veggie platter for 2, it was good size.
Thank you for accommodating us

The food was delicious and nourishing! We got the asa wot and veggie platter to share. Spiced tea was great for a cold night. The ambience was very sweet and calm. Highly recommend for a night out.

We got the Beef Tibs with beets & potatoes on the side. It was soooo good! Probably the best Ethiopian restaurant I’ve been too! Love their simple menu, highly recommend.

The best Ethiopian food in Oakland. Serene and welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and oh my gosh the chicken tibs. Veggie friendly. Ask for the samosa sauce it's green and heavenly
