B-dama - Oakland

Place was slow on a Sunday afternoon. Got the vegetarian combination with buticha, mushroom wot, and tofu dulet. All delicious.

Comfort Ethiopian food in Oakland! My go to ethiopian in the east bay. Very reasonable prices.

The food here was awesome. The restaurant is small and quaint and the staff was very attentive and enjoyable. We came here while visiting friends in Oakland that happen to be vegan. They had plenty of veggie and vegan friendly options and we were very pleased. We will make a point to come back next time we are in town.

Lovely staff made me gluten free injera to accompany a wonderful vegetarian platter. A little outdoor space in front with three tables so our dog could join us. The dishes were spiced just right.

I love this place, and it is the best Ethiopian food in the Bay Area once Ensarro closed down from a fire (hope they come back someday). I enjoy their meat and vegetarian combination plates. I saw a review about the lack of taste. I'm not sure what happened to them, but I always had a flavorful dish and it smells amazing (I get takeout here once every other week). That review also said it was too fragrant? I think they have never had Ethiopian food, because that's a normal expectation of their cuisine. I saw a review about the length of waiting for their food. I do agree you wait a bit for your order, but it is so worth it. Give this place a try!
