“Great vegan Ethiopian! Love the coffee!!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent food, very friendly service, I would highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends!“

“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.)“

“I love meeting new people and trying new food. Ethiopian food here is hearty, homey, and delicious. You have to love their culture to come and chat with them and get good service. It was so delicious. I got the veggie and meat combo. Leftovers are so delicious still.“

“WOW !!! I’ve driven passed this place a lot and always wanted to try. And one word; WOW! I ordered off postmates today and decided on marathon as I had a complicated order, and no other restaurant could fulfill it. Dude from the restaurant called me & went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect!!! Such a sweet soul. The food was INSANE! So good!Also random side note; My boyfriend has stuffed sinuses but is sensitive to ultra-spice, and the food was just palatable spice level for them & cleared their sinuses entirely!!! THEY STILL NOT SNIFFLING AS I WRITE THIS A FEW HOURS LATER!!! This is the SPOT !!“

“Ethiopian food is my favorite and I have tried most Ethiopian restaurants in the LA area. Washington DC still has the best Ethiopian food I have tried but this restaurant has consistent good food. I have tried a few different cooks here and the flavor changes a bit but it has always been good. Better to call in your order ahead. You can eat in since there’s always space because most customers just do pick up orders but right now is not the nicest place for a dinner date.
