Love having the option to eat with your hands and not getting judged. The ingredients and the food here can’t be beat. This is probably the best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had and I can see how it keeps showing up on the Michelin guides year after year. Ambiance is perfect for a small group of friends.

First time eating Ethiopian food and it was an amazing experience. We got the vegan combo and lamp tips and it was more than enough food for me and my husband. Service was spot on and music was perfect too!!

I came here a few months ago for a late lunch, which is probably why it wasn't crowded. I was served by Ted, who offered the $19.95 vegetarian and vegan platter (I ordered yellow beef stew and misir). The food was absolutely delicious for the price, and surprisingly, ended up liking the vegetarian platter even more than the non-veg cause it blended better with the injera.I intend to come back the next time I am in Adam's Morgan.

Great restaurant. We had chucks spicy salad. Incredibly fresh and flavorful. Then the lentil dish and cabbage. Both excellent. Be warned! They will not serve utensils except for the salads and fish dish. You eat with your hands using the bread. Fine by me but some might find it too messy. We loved it and would go back. It is smallish, clean and simple.
What a lovely night visiting my daughter with my mom. Thank you for the amazing experience. Everything was excellent!Vegetarian options: Paradise!

The atmosphere is not necessarily that of an old London-style pub. It is, in fact, a place with very clean and tasteful decor. The music is very refined. When you enter, wonderful jazz welcomes you. The service is the best I've experienced in bars in the area. I don't think I've been so well received anywhere since I've been in the USA. The food must have been made by the goddesses of the Ethiopian pantheon... I didn't know Ethiopian food and my standard for a restaurant is one where you leave smelling like your hand. And here, please, lambs! The mutton has the best seasoning I have ever tasted. In fact, I was only able to try this flavor in Brazil, in Porto Alegre, in an Arabic restaurant that no longer exists. And if you happen to be Brazilian, do you know your mother's pancake batter? Yes, the dough you see here looks a lot like mom's pancakes. The wine is incredible.
The most chill place; clean & tasty. Great customer service - the server (dony sweet, friendly. Enjoyed my stay, My

Never been to the original location unfortunately so hard to compare to what it was before. Food here is great if you like this cuisine, if not, don't be afraid to ask the servers the best way to approach things or for their personal favorites. In the main dining room, the ambiance is a bit lacking. I'd come back for the food, but not much else.

Not only the food is on point but the service and the Tsehay establishment staff make this place what it is! Always a good experience!
