Update: Addis Ethiopian Restaurant in Oakland

[Guest guest]

We did eat at Addis Ethiopian last night, and I did not have a

reaction to gluten! I ordered a meat dish without injera separate from

the combination plate of my gluten-eating friends, but did try the

lentil dishes before they were contaminated with bread. No gluten! I

did not bother with the collards dish that comes as part of the

vegetarian sampler so can't speak to that. The servers both insisted

that they don't use flour in anything other than the injera, I think I

believe them. The meat dish I had was Awaze Tibs, it was delicious.

I did not ask for rice with my dish, but that would be a good plan if

they have it (and it's made with only water, not broth...). Next time!

If you are extremely sensitive to contamination you might want to

avoid Ethiopian in general. While we were there a child at another

table kept flopping his injera around on the table, so keep in mind

that there might be injera residue everywhere.

Of course while we were in Oakland I took the opportunity to finally

check out Mariposa, wow do they have tasty things!
