You can taste multiple layers of spices like cumin, coriander, tumeric, chilly pepper, fenugreek, etc,.  Smell lingering on my finger lasts long even after i washed my hands. :)
Their berbere spice is a real deal!

Doro means chicken and wat means stew so it’s an Ethiopian chicken stew.
it takes so much time to cook and prepare properly.

Injera has a distinct, slightly sour taste due to its fermentation process. It is so fluffy, spongy, light.
It goes well with spice sauces.
The only downside is that sauce tastes salty excessively.

Samosa is the winner, so flaky, very thin with a savory filling.  Give it a try!

Delicious food (and homemade honey wine), but what I best recall a few weeks later is the service, which was incredibly warm and friendly. We never had to ask for anything. A complimentary baklava for the birthday boy too!

Love Barcote! It’s a delightful place to dine and the food is wonderful. I went with friends and ate out on the back patio - lovely. The veggie combo is a winner and the injera bread comes with the meal.

The experience from start to finish was simply wonderful in every way. We were greeted by a group of beautiful women in the front courtyard that were enjoying coffee and an afternoon chat, they immediately welcomed us and also asked if we wanted to join them for coffee. I will assume one of these ladies was the owner, and how kind a gesture, to invite patrons to have an intimate cup with you and your friends. Though we declined because we had our own celebration to enjoy, the generosity did not go unnoticed and warmed our hearts.

This restaurant is a lot larger than it appears from the outside, and there is lots of room inside, as well as a very large back patio that is perfect for the mild sunny summer months in the Bay Area. After you study the menu and decide what to eat, you need to wash your hands thoroughly, no hand sanitizer, soap and water, because unless you simply aren’t any fun and will ask for utensils, you will be eating with your hands!

Start with the Ethiopian Spiced Tea, it comes with an extra tea bag that is caffeinated, but you don’t need it, this tea is full of the flavors of clove and other spices and opens your appetite. Wine lovers, order a glass of the Honey Wine, but don’t expect Pinot, it is very sweet and has a fermented taste that has you expecting carbonation, though it was very different to any wine I have ever tasted, I enjoyed it and it paired well with the meal. Now let’s get into this food!

Appetizers are a must and I couldn’t get enough of the Meat Samosa, phyllo-dough filled with sauteed beef, garlic, jalapeno and onion. The phyllo is delicate and fried to crispy perfection, the meat is ground fine and has the perfect blend of seasoning and spice, the flavors marry happily. The dipping sauce is not needed, but has a mild spicy kick and a unique taste that reminded me of a peppered roucou (annatto seeds). These samosas made me feel as if I was walking down the streets of a bustling city in Ethiopia buying street food and laughing with locals! If you see them on a menu, try them!

Now bring on the Injera, a staple flatbread of the dining experience in Ethiopia! I was surprised at the springy light texture, and the slightly sour taste.  Expecting a more dense bread, but now I understand why,  it’s the spoon needed to grab your portion of food. What I noticed at the end of the meal was how light I felt even with a full stomach, no bloating, and that has sold me on Injera!

We ordered the Meat & Veggie Ultimate Combo, I would suggest this as a main if you would like to experience a bit of everything without ordering everything on the menu. Filled with samples of Misir Wot (split lentils in berbere sauce), Ater Kik Alicha (split peas in a tumeric sauce) , Gomen (fried collard greens with onions and garlic) Buticha (pureed chickpeas seasoned with onions, garlic, oil and jalapenos)  , Atalkilt (cabbage, potatoes, carrots, sautéed with garlic, onions and turmeric).

The meats included Doro Wot (spicy chicken cooked delicately with spiced berbere sauce served with hard boiled egg) , Siga Alicha (beef cooked in onions, garlic, ginger and tumeric), and Siga Wot (cubes of beef simmered in a blend of berbere and herbed butter).

While this meal is filling, you will not feel stuffed, and I highly encourage you to have a cup of Ethiopian Coffee and a piece of Baklava! A word of advice though, this coffee is very strong, and I was only able to drink a few sips, it had me spinning, so remember your tolerance for caffeine before you drown that full cup! The flavor is deep, and it’s really delicious, it’s just much too strong for me, but I couldn’t say I had a proper visit without trying at least one cup!

The service was superb, and every accommodation was made to assist and ensure the comfort of a family member who requires the use of a wheelchair and oxygen. The staff was attentive and also concerned about her wellness and shared loving words and prayers for her recovery.  What else can be said, this was a 5 star experience! Enjoy

Barcote offers a truly authentic Ethiopian dining experience that shines through in its flavors. The portions are generous, easily enough to satisfy a family, which is perfect for the family-style dining integral to Ethiopian culture. While the atmosphere is a bit outdated and could benefit from some remodeling, it still complements the communal dining experience.

However, there are areas that could use improvement. Service was slow, as it took a long time both to place orders and to receive our food, despite the visible busyness of the staff. Additionally, the menu feels somewhat limited, though the dishes available are still worth trying.

Would I return? I might, but I'd like to compare it with other Ethiopian restaurants to see how it stacks up. In summary, Barcote is worth a visit for those seeking to explore or enjoy Ethiopian cuisine in a family-friendly setting.
