Mudai Ethiopian Restaurant

Yummy food, tasty honey wine! It was our third Ethiopian restaurant and experience was good. Shiro, shrimp tibs were yummy. We called a day before on timings and still were told wrong but owner was nice to let us sit in. Google has latest so refer that. Enjoy!

The go-to spot for Ethiopian for my wife and I. Food is insanely tasty and filling, and the service is always friendly, informative, and flexible. The location isn't glamorous, but the restaurant itself is nice on the inside and the experience is hard to beat. Great food for both meat eaters and vegetarians alike.

One thing we love is that they offer 100% teff-flour injeras, which are perfect for my wife with Celiac, or anyone else who eats gluten free. I can't guarantee they don't cross-contaminate, but my wife never reported any problems.

Mudai Restaurant is a hidden gem in the downtown area of San Jose. The food is absolutely delicious and delightful, made with savory spices and always fresh. The spongy and malty bread called Injera compliments the food. The service is always great and served with a smile. We love this establishment and visit often. Try their Honey wine, it pairs well with any choice of entree you pick. Our favorite is the Veggie Combo, served family style. As a reminder of Ethiopian food, it is served without utensils so be prepared to eat with your hands/fingers. Parking is limited so be prepared for that too. Enjoy!

The food and the experience is authentic. From the moment you stop in you do feel a sense of family and the portion sizes are perfect. One meat combo is enough for one person plus leftovers it does have a nice spice balance.
I will definitely come back
