Ghion Ethiopian Restaurant

Stopped here while working a night shift for some takeout, and the service was exceptional. The woman behind the counter brought me water and we had a great conversation while I waited for the food.

When the to-go box came out it was quite literally bursting at the seams with injera, so she recommended I eat some before leaving.

The injera was fantastic, the ribs were flavorful, and the sides (I got string beans and split peas) were to die for. You can't go wrong.

I have never felt so at home while trying to get takeout. I can imagine the service is even better if you dine in.

My favourite Ethiopian place to go to when in DC. Down to earth atmosphere. Very friendly owner and staff, great service, and food is wonderful and reasonably priced. Will be back (again).

It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and the owner helped me choose what to eat and explained how to eat it. The restaurant was very homey, a nice slowing down from it's surroundings.

Amazing food, so tasteful and plentiful vegetarian options. The food was cooked fresh and the flavors were unique in each dish. Totally worth it!

We were only in Washington for one night. Went to a show and walked by Ghion late night. Chef and owner opened the door and invited us in. Great experience, great food :)

This hole in the wall restaurant in Shaw DC was an absolute delight. It’s a small family owned place with homey atmosphere but nothing fancy. The food was superb. We had the large veggie combo platter (8? Items) and the large 4 meat combo for 4 people. It was a great way to sample different dishes esp for a group with a wide range of heat tolerance. The spicy beef was indeed spicy but full of other flavors as were the spicy lentils. The menu simple is with few item descriptions but the samplers solved that problem. It was inexpensive (we ate like kings and our bill was less than $100) and as it’s close to the 9:30 Club and the Atlantis it was a good place to get a bite before our show.
