Cafe Colucci
Ethiopian
Cafe Colucci shares its spacious, spice-farm-decorated room with Brundo Spice Co., its in-house spice brand, which tells you something about the kitchen's priorities. This Ethiopian restaurant in Emeryville has been an East Bay institution forever, and the move to a bigger space hasn't dulled anything. Injera arrives fluffy and sour, scooping up mushroom tibs or silky raw beef kitfo with equal enthusiasm. The San Francisco Chronicle named it a Top 100 Bay Area restaurant.

Beef kitfo
“Carnivores, you’re welcome here too, with excellent dishes like saucy chicken or beef kitfo: silky, raw beef doused in berbere-flavored clarified butter.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Poplpetti

San Francisco Chronicle -
Lemonade
“To drink, consider the lemonade ($5), a tart brew of sweet citrus flavored with pungent Ethiopian basil leaves.”
