Enssaro Ethiopian Restaurant

Description

This family-owned gem near Lake Merritt has earned its reputation as East Bay's best Ethiopian restaurant, with authentic ingredients imported directly from the town of Enssaro in Ethiopia and portions so generous that sharing is essential. The warm, welcoming atmosphere is matched only by the genuinely kind service—where staff take time to educate first-timers on traditional Ethiopian dining customs while the passionate family (mother as head chef, son managing the bar, daughter supporting front-of-house) makes every guest feel part of the family. Dishes are perfectly spiced with a range of heat levels, and the restaurant excels at accommodating diverse dietary needs with excellent vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.
