Hayefe Ethiopian/eritrean cuisine — Restaurant in Oakland

In theory this is a great idea. In practice it’s going to fail. I’ve been here 4 times and only once it went smoothly. The staff working there are generally absent and quite rude. They literally put up a sign asking people not to yell for help because after you stand there blindly waiting over 10-30 min with no one to be found, your only option is to literally try to yell to the back begging someone to help you. IF anyone responds it is with an eye roll as if they’re doing you a favor by delivering on what you’ve paid for. Twice I ordered and it was canceled because the restaurant I ordered from wasn’t actually there. After waiting 30 min the woman comes out and tells me it’s cancelled then blankly stares at me. I have to ask, “ok what do I do since I got charged.” She says they “should” refund the order in 3-5 days but she has “nothing to do with them”. I ask who can confirm with me and she says “google the number”. I google it and it’s an inoperable number. I leave a message for the food hall and still no response.

This was my first experience with this spot, after discovering it whilst out on a neighborhood walk. Based on how quickly my lamb biryani is disappearing from my plate and how delicious the food is, I think I just discovered my new favorite food joint, right here in my backyard in N. Oakland. When it comes to food, the combination of delicious food, convenience, accuracy, great presentation and on point service, always gets my attention and my hard earned $. It does not hurt that the prices are competitive when compared to ordering similar items from other local food joints. I feel like a got a lot of yummy grub for my $60 which included their tip. Much appreciated. Keep up the great work and I’ll keep coming...

This place should not be allowed to call itself a food hall, it's more like a Greyhound bus station for food.

What portrays itself as a dozen restaurants is just a bunch of workers behind a cinderblock wall. There was a nice young man behind a counter, but there was no face-to-face contact with any other human beings.

You will not want to bring your friends or family here for any sort of dining experience. There are no tables, no chairs, no wait staff. You order your food on a tablet and then it is past to you through a metal locker.

If you want an actual food hall go to Saluhall in San Francisco.
