I’ve been coming to this place for a couple of years and when they reopened after COVID I was super happy. I sometimes get the Full order but I’ve always GOT the half order with a Jalapeño. This is the first time I’ve ever received a tiny box. Usually both orders come in a one size box but the quantity is different. Also, Ethiopian food SHOULD not come cluttered in such a small compartment as this destroys the quality of the food. The quality & integrity of this place has significantly declined. Had the owner simply advised that their sizes and packaging has changed, I would’ve accepted. However, she continued to say “I’m the owner and this is how it’s always been.” This is completely flawed and as entrepreneurs integrity and quality of customer care should be priority. Usually when they mess up my food, I don’t say anything but the audacity of the blatant lie to my face was disrespectful. I definitely will not return to this place!
I’ve been coming here for years I live in the Central Valley and drive up to two hours just to have this delicious Ethiopian food I would recommend to anybody in Oakland to come here and try the combination plate the lentils are amazing I don’t know what the brown bread thing is but it’s my favorite part and it makes everything so good you can tell they really care about the process and making things authentic and it’s always good to support a local business
I'm absolutely ride or die for this joint. The veggie special is a great deal and tasty
The best Ethiopian veggie combo in the Bay ?
Always great!
Looovveee this food, so good, thrilled they are back open!
Saw a sign out front 7/9/2021 that says they're re-opening!! All other food is inferior! Cafe Dareye forever!
Small little corner cafe. Not a lot of seating but it has a good vibe. The help was friendly and prompt. I ordered the beer battered fish and chips. It was very tasty and NOT over cooked like so many places do. It came with a nice cabbage slaw that was tasty too. There was a little jalepeno on it that gave it a little pop. I’m glad I have it a try.
I normally would give 4 stars but my food was cold today.
I feel so grateful to have found this place. So fresh. So delicious. So much good energy put into this food. Best injera I have ever had in Oakland!
