Zara Restaurant offers great food, good sized portions, and reasonably priced meals. It serves Vegetarian and Meat Combo platters and is a go‑to for Ethiopian food in downtown Oakland. The vegetarian combination was really good. The central location is right next to Swan’s market. Service is kind and non‑intrusive, with staff patient and explaining dishes. The House Special Sampler lets diners try many dishes; the beef with rice from the ‘Lamb with Rice’ dish is a perfect pairing. Samosas with lentils are tasty, though the green sauce is debatable. Overall, the restaurant is highly recommended.
