We each had a large piece of the bread which is used to pick up the food. I would suggest getting a couple of utensils to help with serving so it's not so messy. Anyway, the food was delicious. My favorite was the lamb and the catfish. We ordered the mild spice level and I thought that already had a good flavor. The restaurant itself has a very comfortable atmosphere. Service was great. Our server was very helpful and gave us a good amount of attention. I recommend making reservation.

Solid Eritrean food. We got there in the late afternoon and were seated quickly.

To start off, we ordered some beverages and appetizers: one order each of the meat and veggie sambusas. These were yummy, with a lovely flaky pastry and delicious filling. The veggie one was a little better, since it had a lot more variety; the meat one was filled solely with seasoned ground beef. For our main, we got the platter for 4, and added two meat dishes. This amount of food ended up being perfect for our group of 4 hungry people after a few hours of exercise.

I had been wanting to try fufu for a long time, so I decided to check out Bissap Baobab. The…read morerestaurant has more of a cocktail lounge vibe than a traditional dining spot, with eclectic decorations that make the atmosphere fun and unique. The service was friendly, but nothing extraordinary. Unfortunately, they didn't have fufu--which was the main reason I went. That was definitely a bummer (and a bit confusing, since it's such a staple dish). On the bright side, the food I did try was tasty. The fish, Senegal's signature dish, was fried perfectly, though it could have used a bit more salt. The rice tasted like it might have been a day old, and the sauce reminded me of marinara more than anything else.

Such a hidden gem!! I was hunting for a different restaurant in the Embarcadero Center when I…read morewalked past Teranga and was drawn in by the aroma of spices. Another patron wrapping up his meal saw us pause and told us Teranga had the best food in the Center and we just HAD to eat there. He was absolutely right. Food: I decided to get their yassa bowl with chickpeas, and my friend got their feijoada with chicken. The yassa bowl was outstanding -- super flavorful with perfectly spiced chickpeas, tons of caramelized onions, and roasted veggies over a bed of fluffy white rice. If you enjoy caramelized onions, you'll love this dish. The feijoada was also outstanding; it was extremely rich and comforting with perfectly spiced black beans and a nice pop of sweetness from the sweet potatoes. Ambiance: There isn't a ton of seating inside, but there are plenty of communal tables that belong to the Center right outside. Servie: The owner is also incredibly sweet! She walked us through the menu, gave great recommendations, and gave us free samples of tamarind cider as we were waiting. I can't wait to come back and try more things -- the other patron really knew what he was talking about.

Each dish had its own distinct taste, and you could tell everything was made fresh, especially the injera. We especially loved the red lentil stewl.

Firstly - menu is pretty limited in scope, but they do have a ton of great vegetarian options. I was really hoping to get some doro wat but this is not available. The veggie dishes were all good, but definitely milder and less spicy than what I'm used to. The tibs was underwhelming and lacked in flavor and depth. Injera itself was great, and prices are reasonable. I also dropped a star for cleanliness. Our table had leftover dried up food that we cleaned up ourselves. The bathroom was a bit of a mess and did not appear hygienic.
