Teni East Kitchen

Chill place, great food! Several vegan options, great drinks, and really wonderful people working there. Wish their Roti was vegan tho. If you get it, get it with the dip, you won't regret it. No outdoor seating.

Loved the flavors here. The pea sprout salad is amazing. The roti was also great.

Sweet little restaurant with a lovely take on Burmese food. Curries, salads, lassis and more. We shared the signature pea shoot salad, which was delicious. And then had a lunch special of spicy noodles with salad, and the chickpea tofu with garlic chili sauce. Truth, all the sauces tasted the same to me, and they were delicious. Top it off with a mango-ginger lassi and you’ll be satisfyingly full.

One of the best vegan meals I've ever eaten! Tea leaf kale salad, basil cumin chickpea tofu, and coconut veggie curry were all fresh and flavorful. Tamarind cooler and mango ginger lassi were a fine complement. Highly recommend!!

I really like every dish I ordered. The pea sprout salad is light and perfectly balanced. The roti curry sauce is the best in its kind. The other 2 dishes also have masterfully blended sauces. A solid 5 star with no doubt. Will definitely go back.

Calming ambiance | Delicious food | Great service Best Burmese food in the East Bay! Food arrived quick, great portions too! The lamb curry had us licking our fingers and it was at least 4 servings. The Pea Shoot salad was so refreshing on a summer afternoon! Need to try all their other dishes too, as the flavors were spot on.

Started with the bread and shared a mouth watering, super fresh pea shoot salad. Shared the lamb curry and baby boy chop with shrimp and mushrooms. Both with interesting flavors. We both over ate, as everything was delectable.

We enjoyed crispy fried fish and chicken cardamom curry, plus the kale fermented tea leaves salad with coconut rice and roti. All were fabulous! Highly recommended for unique flavorful dining. Only the fried fish had a spicy sauce; the other dishes were mildly spiced.

Pea shoot salad (3.75 out of 5): The menu said this is Teni's signature salad. For what it is, it's good, with light fresh pea shoots and a light dressing. But since in general I love Tea Leaf salads, I would probably not pass it up for pea shoots next time. I generally like robust salads with everything but the kitchen sink in it. The pea shoots is more of a light and fresh salad. Chick pea tofu (4.5 out of 5): Really rich and creamy curry with soft chickpea tofu. Roti with curry (5 out of 5): GET THIS. And eat it while it's hot. The roti is warm fluffy and flakey, and the curry it comes with is really really good. Pork belly (4 out of 5): Reminds me of "mongolian beef". Pork belly in a sweet shoyu glaze sauce, really good, but maybe a tad too salty. Fried catfish (3.5 out of 5): Conflicted. The catfish and batter were great, and I've never had such tender catfish. But the mix of spices they use for the batter just was a bit funky.

Super tasty lunch spot open on a Monday. Do not sleep on the noodles — so good! Did a veggie option, and they were able to accommodate and make it non-spicy. Vibey relaxed atmosphere and my partner enjoyed the coconut chicken as well.

Their curries were incredibly flavorful with the perfect amount of spiciness and saltiness. This place also has a very elegant interior with nice staff. Will be coming back!

So incredibly good. Tea leaf salad and pea shoot salad are excellent. Spicy noodles-delicious. Inspired cocktails. Go and enjoy!

If I can give them more than 5 stars I will give them easily! 😋😅 Food and service is excellent!

Ordered the pea shoot salad, wings, cauliflower dish, curry beef, basil chicken, sticky rice, and roti! Everything was absolutely phenomenal and the cocktails were truly amazing cannot wait to come again!

The food was really flavourful and delicious. The portion sizes were a little bit small but not too bad, I would not hold it against them. I ordered the spicy shrimp noodles, basil cumin chicken and coconut rice.

I had my baby shower here for 50 people and everything from coordination to execution was so easy and delightful. Everyone loved the food, the price was reasonable, the service was incredibly kind and accommodating. We had the space to ourselves. They were flexible with desserts and decor. I couldn’t ask for anything more and would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a venue for a special event. This is also one of my favorite restaurants so even if you’re not in the market to do something big— stop by for some delicious food and drinks! The roti, the pea shoot salad, and beef curry are fantastic.

I love this place - food is delicious. My go to is the roti, pea shoots salad and coconut vegetarian curry. I’ve had other dishes - all great. Service is always friendly.

Small portion sizes which make it hard to do family style. Food is good but not worth the price. 1 roti was $12 which is pretty darn expensive in my opinion….

The food was pretty good but a bit pricy for a lunch. The tea leaf kale salad was great and the basil cumin pork belly was good. The coconut curry was too sweet for my taste. The service was poor, we waited 45 minutes for the check and we were only 1 of 2 tables eating at the time.

Nice service and atmosphere, but food was not to our liking. Roti was okay, but beef curry and fried catfish were meh. Daughter said I could have made it at home.

The food here is honestly really bland. The roti and curry is good, but most of the other dishes lack strong flavor or spice. I would categorize this as “white people food” but not authentic imo. I really don’t get the hype - you can get equivalent food from dozens of other restaurants in Oakland

We weren't pleased with the food we had... 5 overcooked shrimp and a piece of roti (Shrimp skillet for $18). The "sauce" was non existent and was just burnt into the the skillet. I had to pour some of my drinking water into the skillet to kind of rehydrate whatever what was in the skillet. The curry lamb was just bland curry. I liked the coconut rice, but it was VERY sweet, almost too sweet. We were told the portion sizes were enough for 2 people, but I disagree. We didn't finish the curry, it wasn't good and we left hungry. To spend almost $60, and still be hungry... diabolical... I wanted to give more stars, but I also wanted to be honest about our experience. The cocktail menu names were really cute though, especially if you're an anime or Studio Ghibli fan.
