Ethiopian Restaurants near Inglewood, CA

“We stopped here between Universal Studios & LAX after finding them via a Google restaurant search. The food was delicious. Large portions & big mugs of cold beer to tame the spices. We loved the friendly & casual vibe. My silly kid enjoyed being creative with the injera bread & what kid doesn't love the opportunity to eat with their hands... on purpose!“

“Tasting menus and great food“

“My favorite restaurant! I eat here at least once a month, and it has become a favorite of my entire family. The food is consistently amazing, the service is wonderful, and every visit feels warm and welcoming. This is truly one of those special restaurants where they treat you like family and genuinely make you feel at home every time you walk through the door.

I can’t recommend this place enough. The food, the people, and the overall experience keep us coming back again and again. Please go and try it for yourself, and you’ll understand exactly what I mean!“

“Delicious food, friendly owners, and relaxed environment!“

“Great vegan Ethiopian! Love the coffee!!“

“Absolutely delicious. Good portions and variety. Such a great experience.“

“First time at this place and the food and service were excellent.“

“Awash is an authentic gem on West Pico for anyone looking for flavorful, hearty Ethiopian food at an affordable price. Their sharing platters are the perfect way to get a great overview of this rich cuisine.
What truly won me over was the fish—they serve it whole! For those of us who know that a huge part of the flavor is in the head, being able to savor it like this is an absolute treat.
The service is exceptionally kind and welcoming. While the space itself could use a bit of a cosmetic upgrade, that simplicity actually gives it a unique charm and a subtle sense of mystique that fits the overall experience well. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Incredible food! It was my second time here and it was just as good as I remembered it. We got the vegetarian platter (comes with each of the vegetarian sides) plus the tofu tibs and the chicken dorowat (in the middle). Everything was delicious! It is so much food though, we ordered that for 2 people and had to take most of it home. The atmosphere feels very 2000’s, I love it. Service was a bit slow on a Sunday night, but they were very nice. I love this place and will be coming back soon!“

“Great place to hear live jazz. Food is great and a really nice vibe to boot! Highly recommend!“

“A variety of flavors and a very relaxing atmosphere.“

“So happy I rediscovered Paradocs (thanks to Starbucks being closed one day!). I went once to Paradocs early pandemic and the drip coffee wasn’t for me so I didn’t go back for a while. I’m so glad I did because when I did, I found “my” go to Paradocs drink - an americano with steamed milk! Now I go all the time! I’m happy to support an independent business. One guy, Taka, owns and operates it himself. He has it nailed down. I look forward to when indoor dining opens and we can sit inside on the cute vintage chairs. (I should note there are a couple tables on the sidewalk that are great. Thankful to the city or county for loosening sidewalk dining restrictions. Hope that stays.)“

“Delicious food and prompt service“
