Tasty, no-nonsense Ethiopian cuisine - Edit
Very down to Earth and very filling food at great price. I shared lentils and tofu tibsie over injera bread, with my omni sister, who also absolutely loved it. Very flavorful with spices (but not too spicy either). Was also topped with a little salad too, which blends well with everything.

Delicious veg options, nice cafe - Edit
I love that this space is usually pretty quiet and the food is delicious. They also have a non alcoholic beer that I like to pair with the food.

Yummy Veggie Combo plate - Edit
Recently went to Cafe Ethiopia with some friends. I have been a fan of Ethiopian food for a long time. I am a longtime vegan of 21 years so know that Ethiopian food always has tasty & nourishing plant based options.
Read moreMy go to at Ethiopian restaurants is usually the veggie combo. At Cafe Ethiopia when you order the Veggie Combo you choose three items of the half dozen available options for the Veggie Combo. Went with:
1. Ater- Split peas in spicy sauce
2. Bersin- split red lentils in a medium spicy sauce
3. Atakelte Kilikil- potatoes, carrot, & cabbage not spicy
It was served w/ these three items along w/ a salad w/ a nice dressing along w/ heaps of injera bread.
My friends also each got a Veggie Combo. We all enjoyed it. I feel Cafe Ethiopia is a solid option to experience Ethiopian food in San Francisco & in the Mission district.
I lived three years in the East Bay & tried a lot of different Ethiopian restaurants in Oakland along w/ Berkeley so my favorite Ethiopian restaurants might be in the East Bay yet can never go wrong w/ Ethiopian.

Hit the spot - Edit
Right amount of spice. So flavorful. I ate 90% of the vegetarian combo plate on my own so but I’m sure two people could split it.

very tasty - Edit
Cafe Ethiopia has been around for a long time. There are plenty of vege/vegan options, and the food is super yummy.
Read moreBeware, the injera bread is very more-ish, you will probably eat too much of it... it expands in your tummy afterwards. I always leave feeling stuffed to the gills, haha.

I love this place and make sure to stop by whenever Im in SF and in the area. Hearty, tasty Ethiopian food, relaxed environment. Great for take out or eating in.
