Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi, I am planning to have a party for my co-workers, about 25-30 people, at the end of this month. I simply love Ethiopian food and want my co-workers to experience some of it. I was thinking of 3-4 Ethiopian vegetarian entrees and injera for my guests. It would be nice to get some recommendations/ideas from you all, about specific restaurants, caterers etc, for a reasonable price. I live in San Mateo, but I am willing to pick up the food within a reasonable driving distance, Berkeley/Oakland included. Thanks, Nadu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Ethiopian food is my absolute favorite of all time. My suggestion is Cafe Colucci on Oakland/Berkely border. It is on the corner of Alcatraz and Telegraph Ave. It is about the only place I go out to eat anymore! Not only do they have the best food around, but they have assured me on many occasions that the vegetarian food is not cooked with the traditional spiced Ethiopian butter (kind of like ghee). They use olive oil for the veg food! Most other places do not do this. Anyway, my suggestions would be: 1. Mitten Shuro (also called just shuro) 2. Messer Wat 3. Buticha (the fava bean dish) 4. Gomen (collard greens) 5. Azifa (lentil mustard dish) Basically, everything is great! The veg combo + mitten shuro is da bomb!
