    I recently checked this place out with some Eritrean friends and it really hit the spot. It's in Temescal, pretty close to MacArthur Bart. The ambiance was warm and relaxing, with traditional Eritrean art adding rich texture to the dining experience. Also the service was really friendly; when I told them it was my first time at a Eritrean restaurant they were super eager to help me go over the menu. I ordered the delish Vegetarian Combo, which had a nice flavorful spice ratio, where it had some kick but didn't set my mouth on fire. I'll definitely be coming back again soon. If you're a fan of Eritrean cuisine or just wanna try it out for the first time, trust me you can't go wrong with Cafe Eritrea D'Afrique!

    Have been coming here for at least 20 years. They may have different owners; not sure. Prices have gone up but food is still great!!! One of the best eastern African restaurants

    My first time eating Ethiopian food and it did not disappoint at all! We ordered the mixed platter and it was big enough to share between 2-3 people. That being said, it's priced pretty fairly. I also ordered the peach smoothie and it was one of the best smoothies too. It's rare to have a peach smoothie not be anything but artificial- this has peach pulp and was very slushied, super good on a hot day! The only thing is that the food and drinks did take a while, but that's okay because this was family owned and the food made everything worth the wait.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Fresh made to order food. I knew I wanted to order to go and placed my order then went next door to Ancient Ways to get a few items from there. Timed this perfectly. The wait time is usually about twenty minutes. The server was nice and allowed me to substitute extra greens or anything else in the vegetarian platter for the potatoes without an up charge. It was warm this day so I asked for a cup of ice and was provided one in a to go cup of regular size. That was nice. Many places give you a smaller/smallest cup for ice. I find their artwork to be unique and vibrant in color. There is a bar and they promote their own honey wine. One day I will dine in and give their libations menu a try. Especially the honey wine. Sounds yummy. I loved every bit of my food. The vegetation platter has regular lentils, spicy lentils, mixed veggies, hummus, collard greens (special name I can't remember) and a red spicy paste I can't recall the name of. You get plenty of enjera which is a doughy like bread used to eat your food with. Similar to sourdough but mildly wet. If you enjoy trying new foods and restaurants or love Eritrean food give this one a try.
