So Flavorful - Edit
My boyfriend and I ordered a fava bean dish and a mushroom/potato dish. Our dishes each came with a side dish, which allowed us to try the lentils and cabbage. The food was absolutely delicious — flavorful and fresh. My favorite was the mushroom/potato dish because it was spicy. My boyfriend surprisingly really liked the salad, as simple as it was. We ended up with a massive platter of food, including lots of injera, for $40, which for San Diego is a good deal to me for the quality. The owner was friendly and even let us taste the side dishes before ordering since my boyfriend had never had Ethiopian food! Overall, they understood veganism well; the food came out fast, and it was delicious, so I was happy with our dinner.

Delicious food - Edit
My BF and I go here often. The wait staff is always friendly even when they are busy. Super cute vibe in the tiny craftsman style home. If you’re going with meat eaters, be sure to ask for the meat dishes separated since it’s all served on the same large plate family style. Pro tip: get 1 entree and all the sides to share between 2 people. I almost always have leftovers.
Read morePros: All sides are vegan and the salad is amazing, Veg dishes can be vegan by omitting the butter, Large portions
Cons: Serves meat, Small location so it can be busy/crowded

An Awesome Experience - Edit
Ethiopian food is definitely an experience as much as it is nourishment. You eat with your hands and the bread called injera is your spoon and also your plate. The menu has only a couple pages, one is specifically vegetarian dishes. Everything is family style and every entree comes with one side dish. I have tried all the vegetarian options and they are all good though a couple are kinda spicy. My favorite is definitely the Shiro.

Don't miss this restaurant! It's really wonderful! - Edit
Firstly, I would like to say that I eat a lot of Ethiopian/Eritrean food and like it a lot. It can be very bland (bummer) or flavorful (yay) and I have a couple of favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. Secondly, my favorite Ethiopian restaurant is my friend's apartment in Denver, she really spoiled me for any Ethiopian food and I keep trying to find a place that is like eating at her house. Muzita is the answer to eating at my friend's place! Abel (the chef and owner) prepares food that is like eating at a friend's home. He has mastered making food like his mother made for him and now fixes it for us!
Read moreAll our dishes were interesting, flavorful and beautifully prepared. The spicing was done skillfully and the ingredients were fresh and delicious! One of the ways I rank Ethiopian restaurants is by the salad dressing and this salad was great and a nice contrast to the other heartier dishes! The sides were really interesting and the injera (bread) was pleasantly sour. (On the weekends, they have gluten-free injera for an extra charge -- check first.)
Surprisingly there was a vegan chocolate creme brulee for dessert!!! Of course, we had to order it because I believe that if a restaurant is going to go out of their way to make something special for us vegans, well then I need to try it! YUMMY!!! I have only had "real" creme brulee once and this compared very well to that AND it was not too sweet like some desserts. This was a very delightful surprise. Although we were very full by the time dessert arrived and could barely eat anything more.
The service was great! Apparently, for this busy Saturday, our waiter Kyle came out of (self-imposed) retirement to work at Muzita. He is a really nice man and also efficient, attentive, humorous, knowledgeable and could take a joke -- all good qualities! If the food hadn't been as good, the service would have made the visit just as delightful! So together ... wow, the four of us had a great evening!
If you are in San Diego, please visit Muzita, they cater to vegans, they are super-nice and the food is so delicious!
Pros: Very vegan-friendly., Delicious and well-prepared food!, Nice staff and atmosphere!
Cons: It was a busy night so it was noisy.

Popular Ethiopian place has lots of vegan choices - Edit
This popular restaurant has many vegan dishes. In typical Ethiopian style, you eat with your hands, although utensils are available for the asking. It's not as sloppy as it sounds, as the food is picked up with injera, a soft spongy bread. The food was quite tasty. We had the shiro (ground chickpeas), hamli (braised spinach and collard greens) and the kantisha khebli (braised mushrooms with stewed tomato and serrano). Each entree comes with a choice of side dish, all vegan. Everything except the chickpeas was served on one big platter, family style. We were too full to try the vegan dessert - I think it was sorbet.
Read moreThe server was cheery and vegan knowledgeable, being vegan herself. The friendly owner came by a couple of times to see how we were doing. Although the place filled up after we arrived, it did not seem cramped. In sum, a nice dining option for a vegan.
Pros: vegan choices, knowledgeable & friendly staff
