Massawa (San Francisco)
Very inexpensive. Plenty of food. And quite strange if you haven’t had African food (Eritrea/Ethiopian to be more exact) before. Eating with your hands by wrapping parts of your Injera (a pancake like...

Roy’s is a Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine. A very innovative, surprising, and excellent place to go for food that is quite different. All food comes as a presentation of a work of art where a lot of effort is...
