1320 Saratoga Ave, San Jose, CA 95129 · Ethiopian restaurant, Bar, Restaurant · San Jose

Beloved Ethiopian staple with excellent veggie combos and injera-centered sharing platters; flavors shine, but expect occasional slow, uneven service and firm ordering policies.

The verdict

Zeni delivers solid neighborhood dining through exceptional food quality—particularly the vegetarian combo and slow-cooked stews—and a warm, culturally rich setting that welcomes first-timers. However, inconsistent service attentiveness and variable execution during peak times prevent grade A territory. Strong loyalty and generous portions for sharing make it competitive with respected local favorites, though recent service drift and value concerns temper enthusiasm.

One caveat: Service inconsistency: some diners report long waits or brusque tone, mostly at peak hours
