I had heard about Radio Africa & Kitchen, a nomadic restaurant, last year and was really intrigued. An Ethiopian chef who had worked at Bay Area restaurants for the past 20 years began serving meals for 15-20 friends at his home. Radio Africa was born and the buzz about this underground supper club spread and he was soon serving his meals at a local cafe. He's since migrated to Coffee Bar in Portrero and serves some of the most heavenly Mediterranean and Red Sead fusion dishes on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. All the dishes are made with locally-grown fruits and vegetables, as well as meats and fish produced with sustainable practices.
Man, the food was just amazing. We ordered the "Mezze" to share; the combination of all five appetizers: - Radio Africa house smoked rainbow trout shrimp cake with pistachio romescu and herb salad - Seared ahi tuna and wild rice rolls with harissa and mixed radishes - Heirloom tomato and arugula salad with sumac and manchego cheese - Spinach and wild nettle soup with saffroned kefir and mustard blossoms - Edamame hummus with green olive oil and Tartine bread
All five were fantastic, bursting with unique complements of flavors and textures, really exceptional. For $30, it's quite a bargain, too.
That would have been more than a sufficient amount of food but we also split an entree: the artichoke encrusted Californian halibut with potato-summer squash tagine and toasted pine nuts. The fish was melt-in-your-mouth cooked-to-perfection goodness and the tagine was savory and delicious.
Our server was friendly, attentive, and charming; in step with the casual mood of the low-lit, spacious upstairs that serves as RA&K's dining room.
I highly recommend you check this place out, it's a unique treat.

Im going to be completely honest, this is not a restaurant I would go to of my own volition if I only saw their location and menu. After trying their food, however, I’ve realized that was a huge mistake. The food is absolutely delicious, and I wish I could have the piri piri sauce they make in a gallon jar so I could add it to everything.

Food was amazing staff is great

The food and the staff here are phenomenal! I came with a large group and the staff took care of all the different needs of the group. While the rest of my party ate family style (and raved the whole time!), I requested a vegan plate that was a last minute addition. They didn't even flinch and very graciously accomodated my dietary needs. I enjoyed a salad followed by a bowl with lentils, saffron rice, and some sort of greens. It was perfectly spiced and delicious. Highly recommend!

Wow…this was some of the best food I had in SanFrancisco, hands down. You can tell the owner puts a lot of love into the food. I got the prawns over couscous, salad, and hibiscus drink. The food was made to order and super fresh. The chef was timely, attentive, and had a great sense of urgency. He made the food in minutes. It was so flavorful. The space itself was very inviting. There were books to read, spaces to work, and larger table settings for groups of people. I was so impressed with everything I ate. The portions were also really generous. This was a great escape from pricy, hyped up, city eateries. It’s truly a gem and an A1 establishment.
