Walia
Ethiopian
Ethiopian jazz plays low while honey wine arrives, and the room slows down around both. Walia is a sit-down Ethiopian restaurant tucked into a busy San Jose shopping plaza, the kind of spot where the parking lot is slightly chaotic but nobody inside seems to notice. The injera is the vehicle for everything, and the kitchen handles spice with a careful hand. Street parking is your friend here.
