"Bacon, Spinach & Swiss Frittata arrived hot, and Iced Blushing Rose Matcha Latte arrived with a safety seal. Really yummy! The rose matcha flavor is floral but not too sweet. Will definitely try their coconut matcha next time as well."
"Coffee was good but breakfast sandos at this location are bad. The tiniest quarter slick of bacon on my Turkey Bacon & Egg White Sandwich. Barely 1/4 my bun. Same with the Bacon Cheddar Brioche. Like some kind of bacon shortage of both pork and turkey varieties. So little you could barely taste it. Like if hint water had a bacon flavor. Also the buns were rubbery. The bread of the egg and Egg & Cheese was hard like it was microwaved 3 times. Maybe because the dasher was so late they reheated it over and over? Very odd because it's not that bad at the Alameda location. "

"The Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich is sooo good! I always will order it! "
"Now, I am sad to say to say that this is the 3rd time I have placed an order in the app and received a card instead of my meal. also, the Perfectly Salted Chips is definitely mislabeled and should be overly salted chips. I cannot rate the Eggs & Cheddar Protein Box because I received a card in place of a meal, but on a positive note the Double Chocolate Brownie was delicious; although, it didn't make up for the missing dinner."

"Easily a Five! This was probably the best meal I have EVER had from a DoorDash Merchant. I did not think the food would travel well, but, it did and it was excellent. Five star chemistry of the spices and flavor. I love Injera, I purchased extra $2.50. The portions were perfect. I did not eat it all. It would not let me post pictures. The price $24.50--not including the other 5 lines of Door Dash fees. But, yes, if you are looking for a delivery-eat at home Ethiopian food experience, Cafe Colucci-Classic Ethiopian is my pick!"
"Been going here for years. Always fresh. Has a lil blip with an order on DD once. No problem since. The veggie platter is my go to. Lamb ribs are good in person when they come out sizzling. The fried whole fish is good too. Oh you must get the stuffed Jalapeños. They are a bit more pricey than the other spots, but they're fresher. "

I ordered two portions of injera and had leftovers for two days. The red lentils was really really good 10/10 perfect blend of spices.

"My family has been eating here for over 15 years. The best and fresh made Doro Tibsy and Kitfo with more than enough for seconds! Would highly recommend."
"I ordered the house 18. House Special Sampler and the peach Peach Cream as my beverage. It was interesting how they packaged the food, with several large pieces of injera on top, completely covering the food, instead of neatly rolled separately as pictured in some of their pictures. I did have to remove it and put it to the side in order to actually get to the main food. Otherwise, I would've had to eat most of the injera on its own, before being able to actually eat the food. The injera itself had an interesting taste to it, and not in a positive way. It was tasteless and yet also had that aforementioned taste. The 18. House Special Sampler I found to be rather bland, and the potatoes and cabbage were huge chunks. The potatoes didn't seem to be fully cooked as it had some hard parts to it. The only one that seemed to have some kind of flavor to it was the alicha. While it was my first time trying this, it just wasn't for me. Thus, I doubt that I'll order again."

"This was so good! This is my second time ordering from them and I must say this is the BEST African food I have EVER tasted! The first time I ordered I got the jollof rice, chicken, vegetables,& plantain ( which usually I won't eat) I cleaned that plate too ! It shocked me that it was a little spicy but that's ok because the flavor was very much present! Even the pounded yam ( FUFU) was good! The first place I ordered I didn't want to eat the fufu ( it wasn't bad but it wasn't like this!) & their Egusi also didn't have as my much flavor! Even my bf liked the Egusi soup and chicken! He's super picky lol. Kinda mad I shared because this was so good! I do wish I got a little more Egusi but that might just be my greedy side talking lol"
"The egusi and ayamase are delicious.

"Don't get me wrong in my prior review. My issue is only in the description on the menu and the way in which the new handlers of the restaurant as well as doordash customer service handled the situation. The chicken itself, as well as price, are delicious and reasonable. The chicken is fried, then covered in a wonderful sauce, I actually need jarred. It's tender and juicy and falls right off the bone. It beats KFC down the street. 😋 2days in a row. Worth having everybody 😉20 Stars Hands Down Easily!"
"Egwusi soup was very flavorful smooth and rich, the fufu (pounded yam) was a amazing combo with the soup bringing out the flavor even more, oxtail was falling off the bone tender, can't forget the sweet cooked to perfection fried plantain they did an amazing meal I would recommend this to my Friends and Family for sure, Thank You."

"The picanha plate was so delicious! the steak was tender and flavorful, the portions were solid. The sides for the steak were good as well- the shoestring fries, savory rice, salad, and the mild, stewy beans.
I'm only sad that I haven't tried this place until now."
"All of the items we ordered were not good or of quality with the exception of the potato salad. We were looking forward to making this a place we would frequent but that is now ruled out. The yucca was over fried and not deveined. The shrimp was salad shrimp size. The steak was rubbery, hard to cut, and eat. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. The coxinhas were doughy and cold on the inside, seemingly frozen, and not fully cooked."

"Loved the adobo! Very different than any other adobo I've had without the hard boiled egg and with coconut milk in the broth but it was very delicious! The lechon kawali also remained quite crispy so that was a big okie! The pancit and lumpia were good."
"I ordered sinigang and pancit and neither tasted good. I'm sorry but I usually give it a chance but this order is just not good. Jasmine rice was hard and dry, sinigang had the sour taste but it was salty and greasy and you can't taste the tamarind. Pancit was dry and hard, I can barely mix it because the noodles were so dry and stiff. I expected a lot more especially for the price."
