Assab, San Francisco, California Restaurant Details

Food:

Good food! Good service! The honey wine is pleasant and strong. Recommended.

Food:

This was my first experience with Eritrean cuisine. The food is extremely flavoursome and prepared to perfection. Their sambusa was an Indian samosa with an interesting twist. The concept of eatingwith hands in a large dish was fascinating. Their lentils were yummy. Must try

Food:

My friend who is vegetarian and she picked this place to eat. They have meat dishes too. It's kinda off the foot path and has been there for many, many years. I'm so glad to finally try it! We both ordered the vegetarian combo but substituted the okra with some other vegetarian choice. The menu is a little complicated to understand if you're trying to substitute, but the food we got was amazingly good. Fresh, colorful, wonderful selection of well-prepared potatoes, carrots, bell peppers & zucchini. The injera crepe is not as sour as I thought it would be. It was a lot of food for one person, we probably could have a shared one combo, but we ate it all!

Food:

I'm not sure if it's because I'm not used to Eritrean food and service, but this place seemed to be lacking a lot. The food was okay, no great flavor or tasty meals like others have commented. It may have been because I visited with friends on a weekday, but the food was mediocre. Service was lacking, with us hailing down someone whenever we wanted to order additional dishes or needed water refilled. Overall, nothing at all memorable, which is a shame for such a great group dining experience.

Food:

This is my favorite place to eat... in the world! I've traveled to many places throughout the world and this is still the best. Great food, great ambiance, and family owned... what else could you ask for :)
