Blue Nile is another favorite spot of mine in the neighborhood. They have all of the classic Ethiopian dishes you would expect, in a warm and welcoming environment. I went with one friend for dinner and we split the meat and vegan combo platter.It's served on a large piece of injera with a variety of different meats (chicken, beef, lamb) and some very tasty vegetable dishes. It was perfect to split between two people and you may have some leftovers to take home. I'd also recommend trying out the Ethiopian beer!

Absolutely enjoyed my lunch! They are vegetarian friendly with menu options specifically for vegetarians. Thought it was just a small place in downtown oakland but great ambience and the food was absolutely delish. There's a nice culture aspect here with seating i think Ethiopians use. Beautiful paintings and service was lovely. I tried the telba, quite skeptically, but it was so yummy. A sweet drink for a sweet tooth! I also got the Mir combo.

As an Ethiopian who knows how to cook, I don’t recommend this place.- I asked if their meet combo contains Lamb Tibis and the waiter confirmed me with YES.- However, it came with Lamb Wot (the juice sauce) and asked her that’s not what she told me. The funny part is she started lying to me that’s how they cook in their restaurant instead telling the truth.- Besides that their Doro (Chicken) Wot sucks and has no taste. Most of the food I ate is tasteless.- Lastly you will be accompanied by a bunch of hungry flies who want to share the tasteless meal.Try other places. Never going there again!

Some of the best Ethiopian food I have had in the Bay Area. Great price point, convenient location, and good hours. What’s not to love?

A friend told me to try this place. I’ve been vegan for a little while now and a lot of their menu (and Ethiopian food in general from what I understand) is either vegan or vegetarian and you can have it with meat by choice.I took my kids so they had the meat with greens dish, one lamb, one chicken and one beef. I had two vegan plates and the appetizer I’m just forgetting the names right now (see pictures).Everything had so much flavor and tasted super fresh. The spices and flavors were great, the owners are very nice and the environment is really chill. I will be going back here every time I’m in Oakland.To the owners, thank you so much for the food, suggestions and the hospitality. They made it through the pandemic but people should really support this place.

Vegan&Meat Combo for 2 was great. Sac new with the honey wine. Solid date night spot after a visit to the OMCA Museum!

Am so full of excitement and gratitude for what trader Daisia Benson have done for me, if I was told I will ever meet a forex and binary trader as legit and honest like Daisia Benson I will probably not believe because of the bad experience I have had before trying to invest, but someone recommended her to me, I was so much in doubt and didn't want to lose money, but this time I choose to invest little and I invested $500 and in just within 24 hours trader Daisia benson helped me earn $3,500 and so I kept investing more and today am financially successful, If you are interested in investing to make more money contact her now on;

Delicious Ethiopian restaurant and food I absolutely highly recommend it food was great spices were exactly what they should be very clean they even have a sink outside and dusty wash your hands anytime I will be in Oakland I will absolutely come back

I known this is inappropriate but this is my little way of showing gratitude and appreciation to her. Allen martha helped me trade my $ 1000 to earn $ 12,700 in five days. She’s very straight forward and genuine, you can contact her for your trading via her details below

So yummy! Great for lunch! The owners are super sweet too ??
