The 23 Best Restaurants Near Lake Merritt - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"You don’t need to see the crowds that pack Enssaro each night to know that this Adams Point spot serves some of the best Ethiopian food in town—like perfectly sautéed or simmered chicken, lamb, and lentils plated over spongy injera bread. Get the meat or vegetable platters, so you can mix and match dishes, trying all the different spices and textures that make Ethiopian food so incredible. The dishes at this casual restaurant is meant to be shared, which is why you’ll always see tables of big groups and, at dinner, a line out the door." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
