Eden's Kitchen felt like a childhood invite to a friend's house for dinner. The food was fresh, well balanced, simple, yet delicious. This cozy restaurant has a great outdoor space and homey vibes.We ordered the beef with collard greens and lamb spris with injera. The lamb cooked with fresh tomatoes and both came with a mini side salad. Injera was authentic in texture but I personally would've preferred a little more tang to the flavor.Next time we'll probably order a veggie sampler with our meat dishes.We came at 4:30pm on Friday with no reservation. Parking can be done on the street around the corner.

Amazing food! This was our first time trying Eratrean food and we wish we lived closer so it could be a go to restaurant. We are a vegetarian/carnivore family and the options were great for both.The delightful human at the counter explained what the dishes were and was very friendly.

I'm so confused. I've been eating Ethiopian food for over 40 years and I have never tasted anything like this. I felt Eritrean wouldn't be far off. I WAS WRONG. The food was absolutely horrible, the lamb was tough. There was no butter, no salt, no pepper, no BERBERE spice, the lamb wasn't in a red sauce. It was like a brownish color. Never seen that before. The vegetables were absolutely horrible, not one of them tasted good, not 1!!! There was simply no flavor in anything that I ate. I spent $37 on food. Couldn't even get a receipt. I started feeling sick and ended up leaving the food there. I took a few bites and I left. I really felt like I was gonna get sick. Maybe this is an off day. there was some type of a flavoring that I can't put my finger on. I've never smelled it or tasted it before, but its absolutely disgusting. I'm in my car and I can still smell and taste it. I will not be going back for a second try.

excellent food and service. I had the doro wat chicken, greens and Mira wat. I also had the lentil sambusa. They were crispy outside and tender inside. My girlfriend had the two meat dish with veggies. We both enjoyed the meal and the music was memorable. We will go again!

A quintessential small business serving great food, true to its heritage. We ordered the chicken splis which was very well prepared and interesting flavours. The salad on the side was a perfect balance to the mild spiced chicken. We also got the vegetarian combo- the split peas lentil was a favorite.

Food was Awesome. Portions were hefty. Restaurant is spacious, with Outdoor dining. Customer service was superb. And atmosphere was Chill. Sports on TV and low hum of music, good mix.

Food was amazing, service is great/welcoming and overall the interior is well lite, culturally artful and relaxing. A great gem in NE DC!

The food is phenomenal. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is well-maintained and thematic. I would highly recommend eating here.
