Love, love, love! Literally heaven in my mouth and stomach made by the sweetest people. This is how I like to dine—soul infused in every bite. If you want to feel, taste and experience true Ethiopian cuisine and ambiance this place is a must! The family is so friendly and warm and you can taste their passion in the food.

This is our favorite neighborhood Ethiopian restaurant!

All of their food is placed with savory flavor that everyone (including our kiddos and vegetarian family members) love, and I particularly like the chicken spinach dish.

We've gotten takeout the past few times but their dining patio is super cute and want to eat there next time.

This was NICE! We were quite disappointed by the Kitchen on Fire on the day before and this was a much needed upgrade! Food is authentic, rich, full of flavor and good quality. 10/10 recommend!

Eat here, now! You won’t regret it! The food, the service, everything is top notch. For three people, we got veg combo and the mushroom main, and it was the right amount of food. The honey wine was delicious as well. The ladies that work here are so kind and friendly. I have a feeling I’ll be a regular here 😆

Review: A Fantastic Ethiopian Dining Experience

We recently dined at Shewhat, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Every dish was prepared to perfection, bursting with rich flavors and authentic spices. The injera was perfectly soft and tangy, complementing the beautifully spiced lentils, vegetables, and meats.

Beyond the amazing food, the service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The staff made sure we had everything we needed, making the experience even more enjoyable.

To top it all off, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. We left completely satisfied and already looking forward to our next visit. If you’re craving delicious Ethiopian food, this place is a must-try!

Loved our food. We got the shewat special which was a sampler of vegan, chicken and beef dishes. We even had to order more red lentils. We loved the lentil sambusa appetizer. We also enjoyed the honey wine, chai tea and tea with araki. Loved that this is a family run and owned restaurant. Will definitely return.

Sooo good! For drinks we got the tea and the chai and both were delicious and unique. The sambusa was so good that I immediately ate them before taking the picture. It’s crunchy, not too oily and pairs well with the sweet and sour sauce that is served with the dish. As a vegetarian I loved having two combo options to choose from! I chose the Simo’s special and my personal favorites were the red lentils and the chickpeas. I usually hate okra but I didn’t mind it at all. My boyfriend got the Shewat Combo. Everything was good but the star of the show was the beef curry which had a hearty flavor.

10/10 Recommend this place!
