The best Eritrean in SF, and one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I've been going to Assab for 14 years now, and this family-run restaurant has always kept their standards high.

Great staff. Complete menu. Perfectly spiced, enjoyed by the spicy-phobic as well. Veggie dishes very filling. Nice music. Con: absolutely no alternatives for adults or kids that don't want Eritrean foods.
Touching letter from the owners upon closing the store
Interesting experience. I've never had Eritrean good before so it was really fun to eat using your hands from a shared plate, using the bread to scoop the food. The appetizers we order were delicious, but they came with the wrong filling - we order the beef but got the vegetable one. Overall a nice experience, good for parties of 3 or more people.
My wife and I ordered some of the vegetarian dishes here and we were very happy with the preperation and variety. Service was also quick and professional. We'd recommend it and will come back!
Always amazing. Lentils to die for. Wonderfully sour injera. The best place to get a special intimate experience with your love or friends. Perfectly consistent delightful flavors for all the years I have been going here. Now that I no longer live in the city, I will travel from hours away to get my fix. Great staff! Dig in!
Assab Eritrean Restaurant was our first try at African cuisine and it was great! First of all the portions are huge!!! like ridiculously huge! We ordered one vegetarian and one meat combo (not family style) and the plate was so big! Everything tastes really good. I love their pita, it's sour and super tasty! We also one vegetable and one meat sambusa! crunchy and tasty they were the perfect start to a delicious meal. It's messy food, and the best way to eat it is the ditch the utensils and just use pita to scoop the food! The service is kinda slow during rush hour but it's well worth it!
Family owned, located in an old Victorian. I have been going here for years, and the food continues to be elevated above typical Eritrean food... without a doubt one of the best options in town.
