Barcote Ethiopian Restaurant - Ethiopian restaurant in Oakland - 6430 Telegraph Ave, USA

We got the Doro Wot and Beg Wot. Both were amazing with the Injera and salad! Our food and Ethiopian coffee came out quickly. Our server even provided extra Injera without having to ask! Great food and service!

The food was so good that I told the waiter I want to marry into an Ethiopian family just so I could eat like this every day

Forever my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the Bay. Super tasty, great owner. I've been coming here for a decade and I love it. The patio in the back is adorable. The dining room is cozy. Food comes out fast and service is friendly. Prices are very reasonable and, most importantly, the food is phenomenal. Highly highly recommend.

Ordered the vegetarian combo. Delicious food. I'm a repeat customer. I will definitely go back again.

Barcote is one of my favourite restaurants in the Bay Area, and my absolute favourite to take company to if they aren't local. The portions are perfect, 2 veggie platters are enough to feed 4 hungry people, satisfy all of those in my friend groups that aren't meat eaters, and are astoundingly delicious. Everyone there is incredibly friendly, and the back patio is a great atmosphere to eat and chat. Every guest I've ever brought there has been completely satisfied!

First time trying Ethiopian food and Barcote was definitely the real deal. Since this was our first time, we ordered the meat and veggie combo platter to try a little bit if everything. This dish is big enough to feed two people and might even leave you leftovers. Overall the taste was delicious! We sat inside because it was rainy and gloomy that day but they have a quaint outdoor patio area that I’m sure is just as great on sunny days.

Barcote will always have a special place in my heart. It was a neighborhood go to for my wife and I when we lived nearby. The consideration and hospitality were always excellent as was the barcote (spicy) sauce. Excellent renditions of all the Ethiopian vegetarian classics. No matter where I happen to be in the world, sometimes I wish I could just go grab some food from Barcote.

A black owned business, tasty food and great service. I really love it here. Be prepared to eat with your hand, and remember this is the way it is, just like you are not supposed to eat a burger with chopsticks or eat sushi with fork and knife. One thing though, if I may make a suggestion, it could be better if waster is not served with disposable plastic cups. That’s not only environmental unfriendly, but also difficult to grab when you have oily hand. Overall, I love this place, love their food, and love the people here run this wonderful restaurant.
