Jesse A. • October 27, 2014Absolutely incredible veggie food. Eat here. Trust me. Everything we ordered was great and we orders a lot. Only place in the Bay Area that can compare is Garden Fresh in Palo Alto.

Alex K. • September 24, 2014Great Ethiopian spot with a great vibe. The staff is very friendly as many Ethiopian restaurants need to be to explain such a culturally unique dining experience. Get comfortable with your hands.

Nino E. • November 9, 2014Crab Benedict and Bloody Mary's are excellent at this quirky little ex-brothel. Never too long of a wait, can get a little cramped inside but there's ample outdoor seating.

Marie S. • November 5, 2013Finally a superb restaurant in Oakland.
