Mudai Ethiopian - Carte

The food was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were very kind and friendly. We will definitely be returning!

Another of the many understated San Jose neighborhood joints--really, a hidden treasure. Have come here quite a few times, but yesterday was the first since the beginning of the pandemic. Glad to see that it's still the same. Great food, friendly andrelaxed service.

Great food! Yum Yum Yum! Gluten free options is a plus and they don’t use soy bean oil- which is another plus for folks with allergies. Family owned- super friendly, great service, and really fast. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Delicious lentil dishesDietary restrictions: Great for Gluten and soy free diets

Absolutely loved the Ethiopian cuisine. Has a striking similarity to South Indian cuisine. We each had a Sambussa more like a Samosa but with lentil filling and 2 Vegetarian combos for the 3 of us, and it was more than filling. The Ingeras are an healthier option since it?s made of Teff. The sides that were offered with the combo were pretty good. Customer service is excellent. Scan the QR code attached for the menu options. Definitely recommended ?

We started with some Sambusas, and I ordered a glass of honey wine while my friends opted for honey tea. Those drinks came highly recommended by some friends of ours, and they were excellent! For our main courses, we shared a meat combo and a vegetarian combo, both served with injera on the side. It was an impressive amount of food—so much that even three hungry hikers couldn’t finish it all! I found the flavors to be very comforting and reminiscent of home-cooked meals. The food tasted quite similar to Indian cuisine, which I found fascinating considering how geographically distant the two countries are. Now, whenever I crave that comforting homemade feel in Downtown San Jose, I know I hav... Voir le carte

Well what can I say…. Definitely an interesting experience. I am a big fan of Indian food so I’ve been told several times that Ethiopian has some similar flavors and are very rich in spices as well. The only thing I didn’t like was that the breadto eat and scoop the food with was cold. I was told that this is the traditional way of eating but I was not a fan of eating hotfood with cold bread. The staff was friendly and very informative when I was making my selections. The reason this place isgetting a 3 stars is because it was a bit dirty. They definitely should do some kind of spring cleaning there. It only made meimagine how the kitchen is and what type of hygiene is enforced in the kitche...

It's rare to find seafood at an Ethiopian restaurant, which makes this place unique. Their shrimp is seasoned perfectly and tastes amazing alongside the onions and tomatoes, combining delightful flavors. The chicken is stir-fried and reminds me of hibachi—it’s really impressive! I appreciate that their food is enjoyable hot or cold. The injera is exceptional and great even at room temperature. However, the collard greens were a bit bitter the last time I had them, and the potatoes can sometimes be large and slightly undercooked in the veggie combo with the cabbage. Personally, I'm not a fan of the dark lentils with the chili powder sauce. What I love most about this restaurant is the gener...

As for the restaurant itself, it’s one of my favorite spots in the Bay Area. It’s very affordable (the vegetable combo is an incredible deal), the food quality is excellent, and the staff is always friendly and eager to help, even if they aren’t the quickest with things like refills. While their competitor, Zeni, located on the Saratoga/Santa Clara border, might have a more authentic vibe with traditional woven tables and seating, I prefer Mudai by a long shot. Recommendations: definitely try the vegetable combo, where you can choose four out of five items, all of which are fantastic. Almost anything with lamb is a winner as well. And don’t miss the ginger tea—it packs a punch (which is gre... Voir le carte
