My go to for whenever I want a quick and satisfying meal. While Ethiopian may not be for everyone, it really should be. This neighborhood staple makes me happy to call this area home.
I walked in, waited to either be seated or to order food for a food 5 minutes. Then went to use the bathroom since no one was available to assist. As soon as I head over the bathroom, the lady jumped out of nowhere and rudely, says “ BATHROOM NOT WORKING BYE” like dude that’s how you trea customers??!! Yikes! Her hair was a mess, like wear hairnet geez!! Gross attitude!

The food is excellent with meat and vegan options, the folks who run it are lovely and the place is a cozy little oasis in a struggling part of town. Please check them out and. keep them open!

As a tourist from Illinois who was fiending for Ethiopian food, Moya did not disappoint. I’ve only had Ethiopian food three times in my life: once when I was 16 in Milwaukee, another when I was 21 in Nashville, and now at 27, I got the chance to have it in San Francisco. The service is top-tier, the kik alicha was flavorful and filling, and the vibe was great. If I’m ever in SF again, this is the first place I’ll go. Women-owned, affordable, and quality.

I got off late from work and had missed my dinner. This restaurant smelled so good walking by I had to go in. I simply asked for something cheap for me and easy for them to make cuz they were close to closing. The food I got was simply amazing. I can't explain how much I enjoyed this food. The woman working was friendly and beyond nice.
This was such an unexpected find I'm still in a lightweight shock. I will definitely be going back for more and I encourage anyone hesitant to just walk by and smell the food as you pass. It's so much better than it smells!
Thank you again!

The food was amazing. Gluten free injera was freshly made and came with small extra cost. Vegan sampler was so good. I would even recommend not getting any meat and sharing two samplers.

Main Points: 1. The Injera is delicious. 2. So many great veg options. My dish had a side of collard greens and it was the star of the show. 3. You get a PLATE of food and what feels like a bucket of injera. This alone is a reason for me to come again. 4. Service is incredibly quick and I was chowing down in <10 mins of sitting down. 5. I ordered the doro tibs with medium spice and it was incredibly mild. I was bummed because this tasted like a generic homestyle chicken dish. Aka: this was tasty but forgettable. 6. Don’t order the tea since it isn’t anything special. Not worth $$.
TL;DR Even though Moya isn’t 5 stars, it’s well worth the trip (especially if you choose the vegetarian and vegan options).
Delicious injera and kik alicha! And generous portion

Moya is a superb spot for Ethiopian food in this part of the city. Came here after another spot nearby was closed unexpectedly and so glad we did.
We came right as they opened for dinner so the service was quick and easy.
The food came out in less than ten minutes and what a feast it was. The vegan sampler platter was enormous contrary to the photo of it looking like a grain bowl. Everything on it from the greens to the lentils was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. Enough to feed 2+ people for sure.
I also had ordered a spicy tofu dish as well and THAT was something else. I don't see tofu being used often in Ethiopian restaurants but this was really a hit. Savory, spicy, and filling.
Our meal came with a side of injera and I was shocked at how fast it came out too. The quality of the injera was great too and made for the perfect vessel to get all the tasty food in our mouths.
