Simple decoration, unpretentious good food. East African Cafe has been a regular restaurant for me and my friends for years. We have never left unhappy with the quality of our meals, or with the quality of the service. I must recommend, however, that the food isn't always delivered quickly to the table but the service is friendly and great food takes time.The decor has been updated. What a fun place.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian platter is one of many excellent options.

Extremely small portion of decently tasting food.I am not a big eater, but I was done with the whole meal in about 5 minutes.Don't get me started with atmosphere... dim blue lighting, more like a bar than restaurant.The only positive was a service... by pleasant and enthusiastic waitress.

Excellent East African (Ethiopian/Eritrean) good, generous portions, and great, unobtrusive service. Cozy atmosphere and unrushed service. Vegetarian combo and tsaba tibs are highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian combo (vegan) is excellent! Shown in the photo with a meat dish added for our lunch.

The description is predominantly vegan but most options were meat dishes. Seems like a cute place but after ten minutes with no server to bring water or ask questions about the menu decided to go find somewhere that would take our order in a reasonable amount of time.

The price of the food is expensive, $20, which is not proportionate to the very small quantity, and is not arranged as shown in the attached pictures. The hand-washing area is shared with the bathroom. There are odors and a long wait after eating and before eating, for more than a quarter of an hour. Greetings, the worst experience I have ever tried

The server could not help understand the content of the menu due to a language barrier.

We ordered vegetarian combo. It was more than enough to feed two people. The taste is better than average. The ambiance is a bit more like a pub.Parking: There are a couple of parking lots nearbyWheelchair accessibility: Very accessible

Smallish place, amazing food. Staff was sweet to us. Venue was clean.We ended up sharing three #11 "non - vegetarian combo platters" between six of us, 2 Corona, 4 mango juice and 1 tea. The food was Ethiopian-inspired, injera etcetera. The mango juice was the purest I've had. The tea was amazing, the hot water was already infused with cloves - super tasty.Will definitely return.
