Our food had a legit stone in it for which when told, server took no responsibility and just 🤷🏽‍♀️. To top it off, we felt super uncomfortable and farty the whole night.

This is my favorite Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant of all time. The food is fantastic. There are great options for vegetarians. I like it spicy and my wife likes it mild and they satisfy us both. If you are not sure what to order, just discuss the menu and options with the server. The service here is exceptionally gracious and personal. The restaurant is comfy not fancy and you can dress any way you want. I highly recommend.

I just love it here. Yummy food, the njera is just soft and fluffy and sour enough and BIG! spicy dishes but not overwhelming. Super tasty. I've traveled extensively there and i gotta say that this is as good as it gets pretty much!!!

got takeout and i really enjoy this spot. has a really classic and comforting local vibe, very much a community spot. the portions are big, the price is really reasonable and they give ample injera (which is so important!!)

I got the veggie platter + kitfo, both were delicious and well seasoned, really reminded me of home. can't wait to come back and try the meat platter. currently my fave Eritrean spot in Oakland!

All the food is garbage ?

I ordered spinach, but it was collard greens; no one answers the phone; the phone mailbox is always full. I tried an online order and my $15.95 order had $163. in tax and no way to cancel it. Very disappointing. ?

Really fantastic food.

Vegetarian options: Eritrean & Ethiopian Orthodox christians are supposed to fast from animal products for a good portion of the year, so like most Eritrean restaurants in the US, there's a decent selection of vegan options on the menu—roughly the same size as the non-veg portion of the menu.
