Zeni Ethiopian Restaurant

So much food and all wonderful.

Great tasting food in a neat semi traditional place.

Cosy goto place for Ethiopian food. Going there for more than a decade and never disappointed.Veggie combo, red lentil, and split Peas are fav dishes

It is a must-go place for an authentic Ethiopian experience. The food is sumptuous. Every item on the menu has a distinct taste. My personal fav are the injera( Ethiopian flat bread) the veggies platter and yedoro kilafe (shredded chicken spiced up with herbs and buttery sauce). Dessert lovers must taste the baklava, they serve it warm and crunchy with a sugary syrup.

I celebrated my birthday earlier this evening in this great place. happy to tell that we enjoyed a pleasant evening and the restaurant was evidently the reason for the successful meeting. The waiters participated in a graceful way, the cuisine was yummy and my friends were extremely joyful. We shall no dout come back again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

As much as I love this place I have to add a warning about the service and most importantly how long it takes to get the food. It is always 30 minutes waiting, minimum. But it's still worth it.

Great food, service and atmosphere !

Place to go for Ethiopian food! I like their veg combo meal. Restaurant has a good seating area.. bigger/better than other similar in the Bay Area.

This is one of my favorite Ethiopian place. The food, and service is extraordinary. Servers are humble and very friendly. In addition, this place is perfect for both vegetarians and omnivores. Lastly, don't forget to order The (honey wine).

The food was good. We had to wait for almost 30-35 mins to get a table so plan accordingly. The waitress who served us was very serious and looked like she was in hurry all the time but there were other staff who were smiling and friendly. Ambience is all nice and Ethiopian.

Good food, exceptional Ethiopian coffee and very nice setup. The service is abrupt and language issues are predominant, one would hope by this time serving staff is used to Indian accent :-). Loved the food, sufficient quantity, good quality, nice setup, little crowded for a group of more than 4 but its OK. We are expected to eat in communal way when in Ethiopian restaurant. I will try again next.

Oh wow, I am so in love with Zeni! First of all, there WILL be a line, so get used to it. When you arrive, head to the bar to sign in on the tablet. People don't usually linger and tables turn over relatively quickly. And it's *worth the wait*. Did you know the thick pancake used to pick up the food is naturally gluten free?! The name of the pancake is injera, and it's made of teff flour.

So far the best Ethiopian Food I have had in the US. Opt for their traditional seating.

Excellent food and service. Lovely decor.

Good Ethiopian food and lots of it. I had the Kitfo rare. I almost always do when I go to Zeni's. My husband had the vegetarian sampler. He always does when we go there. The food is always good. The service is good. There are always people in line ahead of us to be seated. Go around 3:30 on if you don't want to have to wait. Authentic decor too.
