The spices were a little uninspired at the medium level and the injera was only ok.
First of all, this place needs to have a better sign out front and a way of letting patrons know they serve food. I walked in here while bar hopping a while ago, and I had zero idea this place served food at night, I thought it must have been a day time thing because it is technically a bar, and nothing noticeable inside that showed they serve one of the best Ethiopian food in San Francisco. Food, as I mentioned is great, service is good enough for a bar. It was quite empty when I walked in, maybe that's why the atmosphere didn't do it for me, but that's not going to stop me from going back there to get food again.
Ordered the beef stew which is described as cubed beef in berbere sauce and I'm 99% sure they served me ground beef. Tasted fine but when I asked if it was supposed to be cubed she said "we cut smaller because it's good for digestion" on top of that, it is a straight up dive bar and it feels wrong to be ordering dinner there. I think I'll try a few other Ethiopean places before I return here.
Food was good but prices are not as advertised online. We came in for drinks and decided to eat here bc the website said $9.50 for the all you can eat veggie platter. Turns out it’s now $18…..we were deceived
How can it be that my favorite restaurant is also my favorite dive bar? Dream big kids!
