Radio Africa Kitchen

"Radio Africa & Kitchen is the perfect light lunch spot: it involves vegetables, and North African-leaning dishes, like chicken jambalaya and roasted eggplant with black-eyed peas—they won’t make you useless for the rest of the afternoon, and taste excellent, too. If on the menu, go for the plump saffron prawns over couscous, or the simple yet flavor-packed arugula salad with tomatoes and beets. This pleasant place is where to slow down and take a break—it’s flooded with natural light and full of books you’ll want to spend all afternoon with. " - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway

"The passion project of Ethiopian-born chef Eskender Aseged, Radio Africa seamlessly blends North African, Mediterranean, and Ethiopian flavors on a regularly changing menu that’s become a staple in Bayview’s culinary landscape. Aseged began Radio Africa as a catering operation and pop-up while working with culinary greats like Joyce Goldstein and Daniel Humm until opening his Bayview restaurant in 2012." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"Radio Africa Kitchen serves neo-African cuisine - kind of a melding of Ethiopian food, with California flavors as well. I like the fact that it’s one of those restaurants that doesn’t put itself into a box - not allowing people to define what you can and cannot do." - simileoluwa adebajo 1

"Eskender Aseged has reopened Radio Africa Kitchen in Bayview after remaining closed (and working diligently to feed the community) throughout the pandemic. The restaurant is now serving lunch Tuesday through Friday." - Clair Lorell
