Assab Eritrean Cuisine

Assab Eritrean Cuisine

Assab Eritrean Cuisine is a quaint restaruant located on the corner of Geary & Collins in the Inner Richmond. This restaurant's exterior stands out due to the large sign portraying the African continent and the green awning outside their restaurant. The proximity from USF is very close, and the prices are not that bad. The food, the atmosphere, and the service all relate back to the idea of giving the customer some love. The owners of the place are a married couple. Matheos Yohannes is one of the owners and is a very down to Earth man. He immigrated from Eritrea with his wife in order to escape the war torn African country. The food is traditional and delicious. The menu is quite large, and supplies delicious beef, chicken, and lamb dishes, but there are just as many vegetarian options. I highly recomend taking a visit because this place offers quality homemade, TRADITIONAL Eritrean food. This power couple has been serving up the food from their homeland for years and years. With the amount of gentrification and loss of mom and pop restaurants like this one, it is important that we cherish and support these establishments that are serving up proper African food, with fat portions for a reliable price.

*I recomend getting the meat sambusa and the beef kelwa*

The website of the restaurant has the full menu and the awards Assab has earned over the years.
