The staff are spectacular, kind and efficient. The food is wonderful and the vibes are so good people would frequently pop in just to dance for a minute and leave.

The two of us shared the deluxe combo, got extra injera, and finished with a tiramisu. Overall everything came out perfect and the staff basically read our minds on bringing out more. Seriously it couldnt have been a more comforting meal.

The service was warm, welcoming, and put us at ease. We knew from the 4.9 the good was probably going to be excellent - and it was. Aside from the delectable menu the house made honey wine and frankincense Ethiopian coffee were lovely and unique to this wonderful restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect for my eighth grade celebrating their last night in DC together. I recommend every one try this if they want something masterful here that you can’t find at home - upstate NY...

My wife and I dropped in here for an early dinner. We were the first people in the restaurant. The staff is super lovely, and they make interesting cocktails. The food is simply the best. We have been to several ethiopian restaurants in DC but Abuare is so much better than any other restaurant. In addition to the awaze hot sauce (berberi), the also serve a super spicy Dataa hot sauce (yumm). We ordered a Veg combo and a beetroot main course. Both were amazing. Will go again
