My family has been eating here for over 15 years. The best and fresh made Doro Tibsy and Kitfo with more than enough for seconds! Would highly recommend.

I ordered the house 18. House Special Sampler and the peach Peach Cream as my beverage. It was interesting how they packaged the food, with several large pieces of injera on top, completely covering the food, instead of neatly rolled separately as pictured in some of their pictures. I did have to remove it and put it to the side in order to actually get to the main food. Otherwise, I would've had to eat most of the injera on its own, before being able to actually eat the food. The injera itself had an interesting taste to it, and not in a positive way. It was tasteless and yet also had that aforementioned taste. The 18. House Special Sampler I found to be rather bland, and the potatoes and cabbage were huge chunks. The potatoes didn't seem to be fully cooked as it had some hard parts to it. The only one that seemed to have some kind of flavor to it was the alicha. While it was my first time trying this, it just wasn't for me. Thus, I doubt that I'll order again.

I enjoy Eritrea Cafe. This is my go-to restaurant whenever I crave Habesha food. The best Habesha restaurant in town. As a Habesha myself, I can testify that this is an authentic Eritrean restaurant comparable to the original restaurants in Asnara, Eritrea. The servers, chefs, and the owner are dedicated and nice people to be around.
