2208 Business Cir, San Jose, CA 95128 · Ethiopian restaurant, African restaurant, Caterer · San Jose

Excellent, authentic Ethiopian with generous combo platters and standout injera; expect slow service at busy times and a mandatory service charge.

The verdict

Walia Ethiopian Cuisine delivers exceptional food quality with rich, well-spiced stews and fresh injera that justify its strong local following, but inconsistent execution and service challenges prevent a higher grade. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and generous combo platters offer solid value, though weekend waits and isolated cleanliness concerns temper the experience. A reliable neighborhood destination for authentic Ethiopian flavors, though not yet among the region's premier dining establishments.

One caveat: Service can be slow during rush; expect 30+ minute waits for food on weekends
