"While the East Bay has many more options for great Ethiopian food than the city proper, Tadu Kitchen’s two locations in the Tenderloin and Mission Bay are solid choices for injera, stews, and more. To experience some East African heat, order the special kitfo — it’s either raw or rare ground beef (though you can ordered it cooked to any degree), marinated in spicy mitmita, a chili powder, and served with ayib, a mild, crumbly cheese. For vegetarians, try the firfir or vegetarian banatu — vegetables and tangy injera bread are tossed in a spicy berbere sauce." - Sam Chapple-Sokol
