Had a wonderful time with friends at Awaze! We had the veggie combo and some drinks. The owner was extremely friendly…we shared a few laughs together too. He also play the World Cup game after we requested it. Very accommodating of him. Great atmosphere for relaxing a with friends and the food was delicious 😋 this is my second time here and would come back again!

Awaze was absolutely delicious! My partner is vegan and loves Ethiopian food. After reading the reviews, we had to drive up from Orange County to give it a try. It did not disappoint. We had the sambusa with lentils and the veggie combo special. Every bite was delicious. We will definitely be back!
