Located in the middle of San Francisco’s bustling district of Haight Ashbury, is a food haven named Massawa. Eritrea, for those unfamiliar with the country, is situated in the horn of Africa, sandwiched between Ethiopia and Sudan. What’s on the menu? This San Franciscan restaurant offers traditional Eritrean cuisine, that serves spicy meat stews, legumes and vegetables to suit the tastes for both meat lovers and vegetarians. The spice in the meat stew is pretty mild and highly unlikely to set anyone on fire. The food is served one big plate/dish for everyone to eat from and is traditionally eaten with your hands. It follows the nation’s custom at meal times. Drinks served are also varied, imported beers, wine and an Eritrean favorite, honey wine. Service: Staff are friendly and very attentive. This Eritrean restaurant itself is plainly decorated and gives off an informal atmosphere. It fits into San Francisco. Value for money: Price wise it is very modest, average spent between $10-15 per person. Massawa, like many eateries reflects San Francisco’s excellent reputation of producing quality food.
