5 stars in every category. This has become my new favourite spot! The food is always perfectly seasoned, delicious and fresh. The injera is so good, other places I've gone to make it way too sour, but this one is perfect.The staff is always so friendly and attentive, they really make you feel welcomed! Relaxing atmosphere and lovely decor always make it the perfect place for a lovely meal!Will be a regular now!

Beautiful establishment! The food was full of flavor and filling. Not enough to have left overs other than the injera though! I had the veggie combo and my daghter had the meat combo. It came out to almost $50.00 before tip for the 2 of us with no appetizers, drinks other than water and no dessert. I thought that was pretty steep for a casual lunch but overall the service and food were good.

Pretty good place. Shiro Wot is simply the best among the BA offerings. Don't miss their coffee. They roast their own and the espresso is simply flavor rich and fresh!

Don’t sleep on this Ethiopian food. A relaxed environment, great injera, and awesome combo plates for groups. We moved away from the Bay and we think about this place frequently! A great representation of Ethiopian food and hospitality! Also next to the Goodwill.Vegetarian options: Love the vegetarian combo!

Food poisoning warning: my date and I loved the food, but within a few hours I was vomiting profusely and he had uncomfortable diarrhea. I suppose food handling practices need to be majorly improved. Bummer!

Great food. Attentive & timely service. Will ask for more salad next time. We each had one of the lamb dishes, both were delicious.

Flavor is on point but their dishes can be on the salty side. Still a place I'll revisit and enjoy.

The service was really poor. Only one woman server and she was really not interested in doing her job. Food was okay though. Seemed a bit pricey for the amount.

Nice employee who reccomended me delicious items. Not to mention they had great prices, especially for a sit down restaraunt. It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I would go again. Also they have a partially halal menu with all the chicken and lamb items being halalVegetarian options: Whole section for vegetarian foods. Also had many vegetarian appetizers like SambusasDietary restrictions: Halal chicken and lamb
