Lunch Box

Excellent food and excellent service at reasonable prices! The injera is very good and definitely worth ordering extra! The veggie combo was very delicious with wonderful spice combinations and probably some of the best collard greens I’ve ever had. Probably some of the best coffee I’ve ever had too. Very smooth with no bitterness or tannins even drunk straight black.

Delicious food, incredible service. We were warmly greeted and our food came quickly. I had the veggie combo which was fantastic and my partner had lamb timbs. The injera was perfect (and gluten free!) And we had plenty to finish our meal. Portions were large- I even had leftovers to take home- and prices were very reasonable. It's a small place and a few people were gathered to watch the soccer game. Made it feel like a neighborhood place. We'll be going back!

I visited this place with my wife in March 2022. I have eaten at many Ethiopian restaurants and let me state it unambiguously - the food here is EXCELLENT. The enjira, the meat based dishes are absolutely delicious. The restaurant has humble looks and seems like a mom-and-pop store, but they, who wants glossy menus and ten TV screens in a restaurant when all you need is good food and the owner's generous smile. Please visit this restaurant/ Also, for the quality and quantity of food, I actually think their prices are tad low - so please tip them generously. Thank you.

My new favorite Ethiopian food in San Jose! Exactly how I hope Ethiopian dishes to be prepared and taste. The chicken doro wat and the lamb tibs firfir were my favorite. Vegetarian sampler was right on point. The beef was ok. None of us liked the tej, though. Feels unpretentious (no frills) and also authentic and loved by people who know Ethiopian food.
