Great experience! I love coming here, it has a very comforting and relaxing environment. The customer service is excellent, and the food is delicious, especially the vegetarian platter and the sambusa's. It’s a warm and friendly atmosphere, and I would definitely recommend this place! As far as other Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurants go, this is by far #1!

New cuisins tried for the first time very similar to Indian food. But didnt like much the taste, maybe due to bland food as we are more habituated to relish with spices. Beautiful ambience and cordial, friendly owners.

So flavorful and affordable! Sat at the bar and got the meat and veggie combo entrees per recommendation. The lamb was my favorite part of the plate

I love this place! Neighborhood gem. So delicious and such a lovely family business (the owner is so friendly). My partner and I been going here for years. I very recently became vegan and am so grateful I can still keep coming here. I didn't even realize all the veggies dishes we used to get were labeled vegan until I became vegan! Highly recommend the Kantisha (ask for it spicy if you like spicy — it's so delicious spicy), the Tumtumo, and Hamli. And before I went vegan, I used to love their meat sambusa. I still miss that lol but I'll take having almost half the menu still available to me! :-) If you like wine, their honey wine is tasty and sweet and deceptively strong hahah.

Some of the best Enjera I've ever had! (we got the teff) Other dishes also excellent.

They offer numerous vegetable and meat options. Enjoyed everything we had--cooked well with distinctive spices. Was all very tasty. The waitstaff was very friendly.

Excellent food! We got the vegetarian platter for 2 and everything was delicious and flavorful. Service was very quick and friendly. We were impressed by the great vegetarian options and enjoyed every item.
The food was very good. The way they cook their meats, stews, and even the potatoes has flavors that feel somewhat familiar to Latin American cooking, which made the dishes easy to enjoy. Nothing extremely out of the ordinary, but definitely a pleasant experience and a great way to try something different.
The ambience was very nice — warm, relaxed, and with a comfortable atmosphere. The decoration throughout the restaurant added to the experience.
The service was normal. Nothing bad, nothing exceptional, just straightforward and efficient.
Overall, a good place to try new flavors and enjoy a different style of cuisine.
We’ve been long-time patrons of New Eritrea and are big fans. We love how scrumptious everything is and there are tons of vegan options. Lately, we’ve been ordering the platter for two but it’s time to go big and upgrade to the platter for three. We love the injera and gobbling up the saucy remains.

Love this place. Def the best ethiopian/eritrean food in SF. We come here all the time. Usually order the veggie combo with a meat dish. The sambusas are great too!
