Haven't had much experience with Ethiopian food and didn't really like it the last time I had it. However, really enjoyed their veggie platter! Also note the portion sizes are quite generous

I used to love this place until they, like every other Ethiopian restaurant in town, decided that the only palates worth pleasing belong to vegans. Newsflash... WE ARE NOT ALL VEGAN AND CANOLA OIL TASTES TERRIBLE. At least offer the rest of us the same lovely veg dishes made with butter, for crying out loud

I have been to many Ethiopian restaurants, but this was by far the most tasty and flavorful Ethiopian food that I’ve ever had. The service was excellent and our server, Shewit, was extremely pleasant and helpful. I can’t wait to go back to this restaurant again.

We just left the restaurant and ordered the fried fish, veggie combo , and zilzil tibs. We totally misjudged our time before a comedy show and had to turn our order from in restaurant to to-go. They were super understanding. Therefore make sure you budget time accordingly when you go. We did eat the food in the car (I do not recommend this lol it’s not very car friendly) but it was super tasty. I would recommend anyone to come here for tasty Ethiopian food.

I had high hopes for Awash based on a recommendation, but unfortunately, my experience fell short. The wait time for food was extremely long, and when it finally arrived, it didn’t meet expectations. I ordered the tibs and vegetable plate, but the flavors, particularly the injera, were disappointing. I’ve enjoyed Ethiopian food many times before, so I was surprised by the lack of authenticity in the taste.

Additionally, the service was lacking. I noticed several staff members and friends dining and taking breaks, which left customers unattended and waiting for extended periods. This made the overall dining experience feel disorganized.

While I appreciate the recommendation, I don’t think I’ll be returning due to the poor service and underwhelming food.

Excellent Ethiopian food. The veg combo was great, especially the Masir Wot lental dish. Chicken tibbs were fantastic.
