"There are a few Ethiopian restaurants to choose from in this stretch of Oakland, but Abesha has the edge for its exemplary kitfo — raw beef tartare with cottage cheese, greens, and spices — and is even open during the lunch hour. And while you’re at it, don’t miss out on the mushroom tibs." - Eater Staff
