Cafe Ethiopia

Yummy Ethiopian so close to my home. I will no longer go to Richmond or Oakland.

I am being introduced to Ethiopian cuisine with this restaurant. I absolutely love the experience. A shout out to all Indians - TRY Ethiopian if you haven't started already! Biriyani is love but exploring is better

Hearty and filling food meant to be shared with a group. I'd recommend coming with friends to try different dishes.

The fish tibsi was jaw droppingly good! well spiced, deep flavor, tender and envigorating. also had the whole lentils, house made cottage cheese, beef, and lamb. The place was quiet, and the one guy was serving all the tables, but the vibes were right. I'm coming back for the fish!

I feel like this place used to be good, but was recently very disappointed both by the food and the service. First they seem to have one person working the entire restaurant which was full. The server refused to open the back area for large groups and stuffed everybody at small tables. We had 10 or 11 people at a four top table. He told us we had to wait for the table next to us to leave if we wanted more space for 11 of us to eat. and they lingered and lingered after paying their bill and the server did nothing. until we had to be the ones to awkwardly ask the table next to us to leave so we could have space to eat. This was really awkward and felt like the server was trying to offload the job of managing the restaurant space to us. Also, there was a room in the back with space for at least 20 more people that he refused to open. The food came out lukewarm, it seemed to be reheated and not well. The Bay area and California is so well known for good Ethiopian food, and this was just very basic and felt microwaved. Nothing was fresh.

got food poisoning and owner was extremely rude! the building also seems to have a mouse problem so i don’t recommend coming here :(

Great food at a good price. We were a group of five so they offered to serve us family style. The injera was more flavorful than I've had at other Ethiopian restaurants, and all of the vegetarian dishes were very tasty.
