The food was fresh and i loved it. However, paying 33 dollars for a meal with only two decent size oxtails is kind of expensive for a decent food. I wish they would have put more meat on my rice place. Other than that, it was a great experience eating this delicious food. The inside is small and they have a little table outside for family's to eat. I would come back here and try their other food but it is a bit pricey for me.

I had been meaning to come here for the longest time because beyond Auntie April's, it was the only…read morerestaurant I had really heard of in Bayview. I remember reading about chef/owner Eskender Aseged's back story in an old SFGATE article - how he escaped Ethiopia on foot with his family, how he started as a busboy at the legendary Square One, how he worked his way up at the tonier restaurants in town like Boulevard and Campton Place, and how he managed to open this place nearly a decade ago. It's quite an impressive journey, and I didn't know I was meeting him when I walked up to the counter to look at the menu. It was after 2PM, and he was busy in the back washing the dishes. He didn't hear me come in, so I cleared my throat. Yes, I know that was a rude passive-aggressive move. Although everything was tempting, I selected the $15 Saffron Prawns over Couscous with Vegetables and Chermoula (photo: https://bit.ly/3DPe4Fh). I didn't know chermoula was a North African variation on a cilantro-olive oil marinade with a discernible chili kick. The combination of flavors was quite delicious and surprisingly familiar, a bit like a Cajun-style seafood stew. The $3.50 Iced Hibiscus Lemonade was a refreshing complement to the homestyle dish, more compatible than a Coke Zero would've been (photo: https://bit.ly/3ran6aB). I heard he changes up the menu, but I hope the chicken jambalaya and pistachio baklava are still around for me to try. The ride on the T Line was pretty easy, as the restaurant is right at the Oakdale/Palou stop in front of the portrait mural of Barack and Michelle (photo: https://bit.ly/3uSJPsQ). FOOD - 5 stars...the saffron prawns clearly reflected a broader palette worth trying AMBIANCE - 4 stars...contemporary concrete and clean SERVICE - 4.5 stars...Eskender was doing everything himself TOTAL - 5 stars...a proud accomplishment in Bayview RELATED - Exploring Bayview/Hunters Point?

There was five of us and we ordered the…read moremeat combination and added some seafood such as the catfish and that was a good amount for all of us. 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 especially loved the ground beef and the lentils from our veggie and meat order. Everything was flavorful and the injera was heavenly. My friend and I were so caught up eating and chatting that we didn't realize they had actually been closed for almost half an hour! The staff were incredibly kind and courteous, they just continued cleaning around us without making us feel rushed or asking us to leave. That level of hospitality really stood out to me. I'll definitely be coming back.

I got peanut butter cookies, lemon turnovers and even got their cinnamon rolls. The peanut butter cookies are so good, they are soft and chewy, just about the right amount of everything.. the size of the cookies are generous. The peanut butter cookies were very well balanced and the flavor was not at all overwhelming.. The lemon turnovers also very tasty, nice lemon tang after a bite, we had them with coffee and they hit the spot. I don't have cinnamon rolls too often but I could not resist..got em too. I got the cinnamon rolls very fresh but I did a slight reheat by throwing them in the oven, I did so for about 8 minutes at a very low temp, and man I'm glad I did because these cinnamon rolls were on a different level. You can tell the level of care because I could taste the ingredients from the cinnamon , to the frosting and even the dough..all stood out on their own and definitely says alot. Cheers to Dhees I wish them the best for their business , I'm so happy with their line of goodies do not hesitate and give them a try ! P.S. ( also got a sample of their chocolate chip , toffee? , I forgot but this was next level good)

I'm usually someone who can only eat a bite or two of cupcakes because they tend to be overwhelmingly sweet, but these were much more enjoyable. They were still a little sweeter than my personal preference, but not in an overpowering way--I almost finished my entire cupcake, which rarely happens. Everyone else loved theirs as well. The pricing felt fair, and the person working behind the counter was very friendly. My only suggestion would be making it a little clearer that the bakery and coffee shop share the same space. As a first-time customer, it was a little hard to tell which business was which. Overall, great cupcakes, friendly service, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I've heard about Famous Creations from many people but never got to try their sweets until…read morerecently! Famous Creations has a bunch of sweets including cupcakes, cookies, brownies, cheesecakes, and custom cakes. This inside of their space is open, and quite empty. The decor is cute, but overall the space feels a little incomplete. I got the Ube Tres Leches after wanting a sweet treat after lunch! Their Tres Leches has good components of a good Tres Leches: moist cake soaked in milk with a creamy whipped cream on top. However, the milk did not appear to be evenly absorbed across my portion of cake, as some sections remained without any milk. The cake also seemed to be the only thing ube flavored, so overall the ube flavor was lacking. The cake in general was yummy, but was not my favorite as an ube tres leches. Their desserts overall look great and their custom cakes are super cute! I hope to try other items in the future.
