I have been coming here for almost two years and i will keep coming here as long as they deliver even a tenth of their current quality of food. The gored gored is excellent, closely followed by the service. The bathroom has both a urinal and a toilet stall with a door which makes it so that you can wash your hands / use the urinal even if the stall is occupied. The ambiance with the lighting and the back atrium that lets in light during the day while allowing the homey sophistication to set in during the evenings is top notch. Few places where I can get still get such good value for money in this part of the country.

I got takeout (vegetarian combo) and the food was good and plentiful. The only thing I didn't like was that the injira was a bit too sour. Parking was difficult.

I loved the food. This was my first time trying Eritrean food which is not surprising since the county is only two years older than I am. The food is very similar to Ethiopian food which is to be expected but I definitely detected nuances in the flavor profile that were distinct. However, I don't think I could verifiably state those differences. I was expecting a more spartan atmosphere but the design inside the restaurant was modern. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was praiseworthy. The price isn't too bad for being steps away from Golden Gate Park.

Tried a new ethiopian restaurant after really long time. Food was great! We got the vegetarian platters for two with the chicken. We also got the mixed veg sambusa. I think the lentil sambusa would have been a better choice.

Service was a little slow but they seemed a little understaffed at the time on a Friday night. I was not expecting the restaurant to be as large as it was.

The vegetarian meals are very good. However the four person meals were way too small. Potatoes and split peas are very good. Nice inside too.

Fun atmosphere, food is amazing. Sometimes a bit slow but it’s because they’re so busy! The zebi dorho (sp?) is our favorite! All the vegetarian plates are great too.

This is my first time eating Ethiopian food, and I wasn't impressed. Got what seemed to be the most popular dish, which is basically some bread with dips. Maybe this is an acquired taste? Service was almost inexistent, as well as silverware. When the waitress finally brought some, at the end of my meal, after I had requested twice before, felt more like a sarcastic joke than compliance to a customer request. Should I have gotten up and asked for a manager? Maybe, but I also don't go out to cause trouble. Especially when I am hungry. Definitely overpriced for what you are getting.

The gored gored was so juicy and spiced perfectly!!

I love Ethiopian/Eritrean food. Overall, I enjoyed the flavors, but my wife said it was just okay. We ordered the vegan sampler for 2 people and received a plate that was barely enough for one person. After looking around their meat dishes were normal sized so it was puzzling? We left hungry and disappointed.

Great Ethioian food. We got the sampler which came with the spongy and souŕ bread for dipping. Healthy vegetarian food with yummy spices that is eaten with your hands, utencils provided if need be. Fun! Big bar there too.
