Flavorful Ethiopian specialties like Doro Wot & platters
"Ethiopian nachos (thinly sliced potato chips with house salsa and hummus), ye doro wot (bone-in chicken and boiled eggs slow-simmered in Ethiopian sauces), and tartare (raw kitfo beef served with minced kale and Ethiopian cheese) are highlights at this Adam’s Point fixture. Though originally opened in 2006, this longtime favorite near Lake Merritt’s sunny shores has since relocated to a larger space in 2015, but has retained its flavorful, community essence." - Alan Chazaro
"A local Ethiopian institution, Enssaro's food and atmosphere never disappoint. Try the Messer Wot, red lentils slow-cooked with Ethiopian spices, or the vegetarian sampler platter. The sambusas are always a great choice and don't forget to grab some injera to use for sampling main dishes." - Huge
"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
