Mark's SF Bay Area Dining Club: Ethiopian Crawl
What is this?
Every few weeks we go to an Ethiopian restaurant in the Berkeley/Oakland area, with the goal of trying them all.

Links go to the dining club's wiki. It has certain edit policies.
Outside of this crawl, the dining club also went to Red Sea in San Jose (in 2002) and Sheba Lounge in San Francisco (in 2009) and Cafe Rehoboth in San Jose (in 2009). Cafe Rehoboth's brief summary: meat dishes (combo platter) were much better than the vegetable dishes. In fact, flavorful and lively, they surpassed the meat dishes at the other restaurants we tried. The vegetable dishes, in contrast, were bland, boring, and were generally worse than those served at other Ethiopian places (though I did like the cabbage in the cabbage-and-carrot one). The salad was poor due to tartness/sourness. We tried a non-alcoholic drink of ginger sweetened with a bit of honey: refreshing and quite good. I didn't catch the name.
Chowhound digest recently had a roundup of Ethiopian joints.
Key to Reviews
We discuss the meals at dinner. After each meal, I create a page on the wiki documenting what we ate. I'll try to add comments to the wiki page reflecting my (and possibly others') opinions, but really adding remarks to the wiki page are everyone's responsibility. If you have an opinion (whether in agreement or in contrast), please express it!
