Mudai Ethiopian Restaurant 503 West San Carlos Street, San Jose, CA 95126

"I love Ethiopian food. LOVE. There are no restaurants within 2 hours of my home, so I love trying new ones when visiting other cities. I tried Mudai & I will be returning! It is a "hole in the wall," but relatively clean. The host was friendly & the food was delicious. I ordered a vegetarian platter with a side of doro wat. I had enough leftovers for a second dinner, breakfast, & lunch the next day. The food is a touch on the spicy side compared to other places, which was OK for me. Highly recommend!"

"Went to Mudai for Thanksgiving because I was on my layover and a friend recommended me to try this place. It was really good and the serving was big! The server i forgot his name was really warm and friendly!"

"We ordered one vegetarian combo and one meat combo for three people. The waiter believed that that's all we need. Indeed, not only we were all very full, we couldn't finish the plate. All items were tasty. We liked them."

"The go-to spot for Ethiopian for my wife and I. Food is insanely tasty and filling, and the service is always friendly, informative, and flexible. The location isn't glamorous, but the restaurant itself is nice on the inside and the experience is hard to beat. Great food for both meat eaters and vegetarians alike. One thing we love is that they offer 100% teff-flour injeras, which are perfect for my wife with Celiac, or anyone else who eats gluten free. I can't guarantee they don't cross-contaminate, but my wife never reported any problems."

"Mudai Restaurant is a hidden gem in the downtown area of San Jose. The food is absolutely delicious and delightful, made with savory spices and always fresh. The spongy and malty bread called Injera compliments the food. The service is always great and served with a smile. We love this establishment and visit often. Try their Honey wine, it pairs well with any choice of entree you pick. Our favorite is the Veggie Combo, served family style. As a reminder of Ethiopian food, it is served without utensils so be prepared to eat with your hands/fingers. Parking is limited so be prepared for that too. Enjoy!"
