Reviews for Cafe Eritrea D'Afrique in Oakland, CA
If you've never had Ethiopian or Eritrean food before, this is an absolute must! The food is served in huge portions and is... incredibly Devine. The Cafe itself is so homey and welcoming, definitely an atmosphere of family and kindness. I'm sure thereare plenty of other restaurants in the area from their culture, but I will most definitely be returning here! Vegetarian plateis super filling even for 2 people that eat a lot, and the HONEY WINE!!!! Delicious 10/10 Read more
l have had a good share of Ethiopian food over the years and even the very sweet hostess said there?s really no difference... between Eritrean and Ethiopian food, but theirs was better than virtually any other place! Went with the house sampler. Fresherspices, more unique flavors, and a packed dining room within an hour of opening! The salad was super crisp and fresh, too! Read more
Amazing Eritrean restaurant. Always a great meal, love vegetarian dish paired with either the chicken or lamb. Been coming... here for over 10 years. Read more
Their food is delicious and their customer service is great. I came several times to have their favorite dish ( zilzel).
Ordered the house special combination platter. It was sooo good and highly recommend it.
The proportion of food to injera is perfect. I always order the combos (house combo or veggie). Very delicious. Price went up on... many items - do not let that deter you. It?s worth every dollar. Read more
Really excellent veggie combo with lots of variety and unusually tasty sauces. Injera had great flavor and consistency. Very... friendly and helpful staff. Read more
I think this was the first place ever that I tried injera and the different vegetarian spiced platters and it was amazing. Just... last week I did it again, the $20 vegetarian sampler platter (I forget the actual name on the menu) and it was still as amazingas ever. This is where I would not recommend getting meat because I tried the injera at another place with samples of the meatside dishes and the meat really distracts from the wonderful spices, grain, and vegetables. The downside is the sampler plateis for 2-3 people and I just went by myself... but other a good meal for two at around $25 with tip and tax. Read more
