The 25 Best Restaurants In The Sunset & Parkside - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Opened before FasTrak was a thing (in the ’90s, for the uninitiated), New Eritrea is an Eritrean and Ethiopian staple with a loyal fan base that spans generations. It’s also the coziest spot on this guide. Stained glass lamps cast a dim red glow throughout the long space, and the restaurant, including the atrium-like back room, is packed nightly with diners sitting elbow-to-elbow and passing around baskets of injera. All of the vegetarian dishes are also plant-based, so bring a bunch of vegan and meat-loving friends without issue. The tumtumo is hearty and deeply onion-flavored, and the sambusas filled with well-spiced ground beef are the best in town." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
