1. Mela Bistro

    Mela Bistro is an Ethiopian restaurant in Uptown Oakland that leans into creative riffs rather than playing it straight. The tuna kitfo is the reason to go, a rarity on any Bay Area menu, and the all-teff injera is the real deal. The vegetarian platter covers a lot of ground without feeling like an afterthought. Parking is a fight, but it sits right by BART, which is convenient given that everyone in the room looks like they walked over.
