“First time eating here. I got the Chicken Curry rice bowl with the sides and hot sauce. It was so delicious!!! Amazing. And? Next time I’ll ask for less rice and more food on top. It was pretty rice heavy and wished I’d gotten twice as many greens. And weird - I only got one piece plantain, and? regardless- the my meal was amazing. Service was kind and friendly.Love this place!!!Welcome to West Oakland!! ??“

“Great atmosphere, full on a Monday night, the server was knowledgeable and walked us through the menu with good recs and then showed us everything on the plate too which was nice because I don’t eat Eritrean food often. It was sooo so good. Every topping had a unique and delicious flavor. Meats were tender but firm and the curries were totally delightful. Big plus for being open later than most spots in the bay as well! Also very affordable. We’re coming here again for sure!“

Tribune African •
401 13th St, Oakland

“Absolutely phenomenal service. There was a very large party along with other tables sat and Ashely and Antwon handled it with so much class, even when the kitchen was backed up, and even when they were stretched over too many people. Simply incredible personalities and tact. I would absolutely return just for them alone.“
