Authentic Ethiopian flavors and generous, shareable platters. Food was flavorful injera and hearty stews along with vegan/gluten-free options. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Very clean and spacious.

Really good local spot for Ethiopian food. Injera, kitfo special, lamb tibs firfir and doro Alicia tibs – Everything were fresh and delicious with right amount of spices. Friendly and fast service added to the experience.

This is a quiet restaurant in an industrial/residential area. I went for a late lunch and the place was empty. They were setting up for some private party on the other side of the restaurant. The service was extremely quick. I got a sambusa which is quite similar to the Indian Samosa in concept and looks, but taste very different. This one was filled with lentils, which I found to be little bit, dry for my taste. I also got the meat sampler, and it came with a huge injera and four types of meat. There stewed chicken lamb and beef and some dressed salad in the middle. Ethiopian food uses a lot of spices and it reminds me a bit of Indian curries. The bread was fermented and gave it a sour tang which I absolutely loved. The curries were delicious as well. The portion size was huge and was difficult to finish for one person. The ambience is very casual and barebones but I did not mind.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with the Eritrean food here!
The Veggie Combo was outstanding: Every one of the four sides was delicious, each offering a distinct and exciting flavor profile. The vegetables were noticeably fresh and perfectly prepared. The injera was super soft and yummy, making the family-style eating experience truly enjoyable.
We also ordered the Mushroom Dulet, which was a fantastic discovery. The flavor was incredibly unique, savory, and wonderfully full of umami. It was a standout dish!
Highly recommend both the fresh and varied veggie combo and the intensely flavorful Mushroom Dulet. A must-try!

Don’t be fooled by the exterior – is very nice inside, with authentic Ethiopian decor. And the service was so warm and lovely.
The food was wonderful! They serve two types of injera – a full tef, slightly tangy, gluten-free (this is what I think of as “normal” style) and one with wheat (very light and sweet flavor, much like a thin american pancake). Both were great.
We got a veggie combo and a scrambled egg dish for our lunch. Tasty, wonderful, and I look forward to returning. This may be my new favorite Ethiopian restaurant in San Jose.

Loved the vegetarian combo and mushroom main course we had here. Delicious food, excellent customer service, and lovely environment! Our waitress was amazing and helpful. Kids loved the food too and devoured it all!
We used to go to another popular Ethiopian place regularly but unreasonable wait times and bad attitude in service made us stop.
I hope they keep up good service at Mudai!

I tried Ethiopian food for the first time, the food was good and delicious. It might have been my taste but I did not like it. Nothing to take away from the restaurant of there servers, they did a good job of making and handling the food. Service and atmosphere was excellent, we’re extremely polite.
