Lunch Box - San Jose

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.

Such good food… ask for it spicy! The vegetarian combo and misir are amazing. some of the best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had. And the vibe is very homey and informal and welcoming.

Outdoor seating, with heaters if you ask. Amazing plate of vegetarian food, also got a single order of the meat dish, which was more than enough for 3 people. Loved eating with our hands!

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.

It’s been a while since I’ve had Ethiopian food, but it’s as good as I remember. I ordered the raw Kitfo Dulet. The food was pretty tasty, quite spicy, and big portions. The menu pics are outdated btw, they don’t have the goden tibs anymore. You should look at the menu on any of the delivery apps to see what they currently serve.
