Great restaurant!!. Great restaurant!! The atmosphere is pretty with maps and pictures on the wall. There's a little bar that's looks charming with the glass lamps. It's usually pretty quite there though, so actually, the bar is a little unnecessary. However, if you want a fairly quiet comfortable place to enjoy a meal, than this place is great. The food is great too - good sized portions for fairly inexpensive prices! Ethiopian food is fun to have on a date. Since you'll be handling your food, it's a great ice-breaker! Lastly, they also have a a pretty good variety of drinks for a small restaurant - wines from different regions like Chile or Africa, bottled beers, sweet wines, steamed milk, and ethiopian coffee!!…
Amazing food, good service. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the whole Bay Area. The dishes are rich and flavorful and perfect with steamed milk or honey wine. Service is friendly and atmosphere is laid-back and great for groups.…
Very nice small neighborhood restaurant.. My wife was in UCSF Hospital for serious surgery. I was staying in the area and was looking for a place for dinner. Total stubbled into the New Eritrea and knew nothing of the fare. Best dinner I had for many a day with the most pleasant and prompt service I have had in a long time. I would recommend it to everyone.…
The BEST!!!. This is the BEST place for Eritrean/Ethiopian food. We go here almost every week. The food is spicy, savory and addictive. I've eaten almost everything on the menus and LOVED it!!
This Inner Sunset Eritrean restaurant boasts friendly waiters, ample seating and some seriously spicy dishes..
Even though many of the regular patrons at this neighborhood favorite wouldn't be able to locate Eritrea on a map (FYI: it's a teeny-tiny country north of Ethiopia and east of Sudan, according to
Google), they do know good food when they see it. And here, good food comes in the form of spicy stewed veggies (heavy on the lentils) and meats served family-style, to be eaten with your hands utilizing chunks of a sour, spongy, crepe-like bread called injera. Don't be fooled: the dishes don't look big, but they're definitely filling. Two vaguely tropical-themed dining rooms with a variety of table sizes and a grandiose bar make this a no-reservation-necessary sort of dinner date--if you don't mind getting yours hands dirty.
