Cafe Dareye

"Excellent choice for those that prefer vegan gluten free! There are a lot of restaurants in this area but this is the place for VGF food. Very fresh and tasty. The staff are friendly, upbeat and welcoming. Recommended for everyone. What a gem!"

"Some of the best ethiopian i've had! So fresh, tasty and the lady that works here is so sweet!"

"Conveniently located on Telegraph and owned by friendly people. A nice place for grabbing lunch. There isn't any indoor seating, and the outdoor tables are quite small so it's definitely a place to dine solo or with one other person. Full plate was a decent size, half order would've been too small in my opinion. The food here isn't as expensive as other Oakland Ethiopian spots and it's pretty good.

I love that they sell various other goodies here like bulk ingredients, spices, grains, teacups, pans, etc."

This is the first time I’ve ever received a tiny box. Usually both orders come in a one size box but the quantity is different. Also, Ethiopian food SHOULD not come cluttered in such a small compartment as this destroys the quality of the food. The quality & integrity of this place has significantly declined. Had the owner simply advised that their sizes and packaging has changed, I would’ve accepted. However, she continued to say “I’m the owner and this is how it’s always been.” This is completely flawed and as entrepreneurs integrity and quality of customer care should be priority. Usually when they mess up my food, I don’t say anything but the audacity of the blatant lie to my face was disrespectful. I definitely will not return to this place!"

"Veggie combo was extremely filling (approximately same size as 1.5 chipotle bowls)! Good value and taste. The woman behind the counter was very kind, and she cooked the meal in "
