Exciting Restaurants to Try in San Jose 2025 | Eater

"Black tea brewed with cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom is a traditional drink to start a meal at this modern Ethiopian restaurant. Same goes for Kategna, an injera flatbread dusted with berbere spice. Dip it in LeYou’s spiced yogurt or slow-cooked key wat beef stew. Vegetarian dishes are ample, such as okra with onion and tomato or green beans with garlic and ginger. Green chile is central to the menu (it’s often used to season dishes) and an appetizer of jalapeños stuffed with tomato and berbere-infused oil serves to prepare the palate for what’s ahead." - Christina Marie Mueller
