Cafe Colucci has been on our list for months so glad we had the opportunity to visit on MLK Jr. Day ❤️

Everything from the vibe, food, and service were better than we could’ve imagined. What a fun time and thanks to Damian for the hospitality

Some favorites were the sambusas, fish, lentils, tibs, and tiramisu. We will absolutely be back ✨

Pretty good actually. The service was fine, good for Bay Area standards. The bathroom and the interior were clean and well presented. There’s an open kitchen here. The injera was food and their kik alicha was supreme. If you like mashed potatoes, it’s that exact same texture as that but with split peas. The vegan sampler was excellent. The meat sampler was rough. Nothing was really good imo. The mushroom tibs were great. The chickpeas are rubbish, don’t get the mitten shiro.

The best vegetarian Ethiopian food I’ve ever had! Highly recommend adding the tibs, eggplant or mushroom, to your vegan combination plate. The berebere mocha with oatmilk is delicious with just the right amount of spice and served in a substantial handleless mug that warms your hands. The tiramisu was a pleasant surprise and one of the best I’ve had.

First time joining some family who are loyal Cafe Colucci fans. I’ve eaten at many Ethiopian spots and I’d say this is my new favorite. From the ambience, service, drinks and most importantly the food, everything was wonderful. There is love and thought put into each aspect of the restaurant. The food was very fresh and flavorful, we had both the meat and vegan sampler as well as drinks and appetizers which were delicious. We met the owner who was kind and welcoming as well as our waiter Ricardo was extremely attentive and kind.
I will definitely be back when visiting Oakland.

Got the vegetarian and meat samplers and they were good. The meat and vegetarian subussa were really good, dipping sauce is slightly spicy. Service was great

Great ambience and service. As soon as you enter you are transported to a different world, with the colors and the aromas.

Service is super friendly. Try their platters, sambusas and honey wine.

Buy some spices on your way out.

We’ve loved this spot for a long time — it’s been our go-to in town, and we’ve had so many great meals here. That’s why our most recent visit surprised us a bit. Several of the dishes we normally order tasted different than usual, and a couple seemed to have dipped in quality. Nothing was bad, but it didn’t quite match the consistently excellent experience we’ve come to expect.

We’re hoping this was just an off night, because when they’re on their game, they’re truly fantastic. We’ll definitely be back, just crossing our fingers for the old magic next time.

The new location at 5849 San Pablo Avenue in North Oakland is fantastic! The open kitchen is huge, and the dining area is beautifully decorated. There’s an outdoor space out back too, and that’s where most of the diners were on this afternoon. The service was great — super nice waiter and the food arrived fast!

We had the meat sambussas (triangular pastries like samosas), the meat combination platter, and the baklava. Everything was delicious, and very reasonably priced, especially for the amount of food you get. The meat combo platter was more than enough food for two people. We had a coffee with the baklava and hung out for a bit just enjoying the new space. Great experience.

So glad these guys moved in — we’ll be back!

Love the food, but take out portions are ridiculously small. I’ve eaten here many times, in this location and the previous one. The food is great! Although I eat meat, I really love the vegan sampler platter. I’ve gotten takeout from there twice now, and I’ve noticed that they give significantly less food in the takeout version of the same dish. It’s really disappointing. When I eat in the restaurant, we typically share the vegan sampler platter and maybe get an app, though the app is not necessary. Ordering the same dish as takeout I am able to finish the entire dish myself. It is a big and noticeable difference. I guess it’s not a good idea to get takeout from there. I think they are just trying to fit in too small containers and they need to buy larger ones. Or they should charge less for the to go version. I will remove this review if they fix the problem.
