Stopped in for an early dinner on a Tuesday evening. We had the honey wine, salad appetizer and meat and veggie combo entree. Loved the beef gomen and greens. The also have gluten free injera upon request :-)

Best Ethiopian in Oakland!(Update) We moved away 4 years ago but make a special trip here whenever we're in town. Still the best!

The BEST food I’ve ever had. I mean that with all the gravity that comes with that sentence.

Decent Ethiopian food. My friend called beforehand to make sure they served gluten free injera but when we arrived they didn't have any in stock. They offered me more protein in my order as a compromise which I accepted. Before ordering, we asked for our food to be spicy but it was on the bland side. Food was decent but not the best Ethiopian food in the Bay. Server was nice.

I love that my local Ethiopian restaurant is also one of the best I've ever had! FYI base spice level is moderate for some one like me with a sensitive plate... Not mild.

Spectacular. Delicious. I’ve lived all over this country and this is honestly the best Ethiopian food I have ever had. The staff are also incredibly kind and thoughtful and hard-working. Go here. You won’t regret it.

Portions are smaller than other Ethiopian restaurants but prices are just as high. Nice environment, except for the staff's kid playing loud videos, that was so loud. It annoyed all of us. Menu says the veggie option has mushroom tips but that is wrong.

The veggie combo at this place was fantastic. The collard greens, usually my least favorite part of Ethiopian food, were surprisingly good, well seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth soft. The shiro was also great and super flavorful. I will be back.

Friendly service, big portions, serve lots of bread. The spices in the food were amazing. If you don't like spicy, maybe ask before
