The food is good, but the service is enough to never make go back here again. There are so many other Ethiopian restaurants with nice and kind people and delicious food. I had the worst experience with them and will never be ordering from them again. Here is what happened:I ordered on Doordash at 6:07 and immediately called the store within 30 seconds to make sure they received my order and to choose the way I’d like the tibs prepared (wet or juicy) because it was not possible to specify through doordash.. I also chose my sides on the phone because it wasn’t possible for me to online. It was 6:08 when I called and spoke to her. The lady called back at 6:13 telling me my food was already done— but it wasn’t. I told the lady on the phone that I needed the tibs prepared juicy and she said it wasn’t possible. I told her that I would pay whatever difference or even order again online if I needed to so that I can get the food I actually want. She put me on hold for about 5 minutes and then hung up on me. I called back and asked to speak to the manager instead to tell them about my issue— she said the manager doesn’t come in. I kept asking her how my food could possibly be finished cooking in 5 minutes when I just gave her my side orders? She told me there was nothing she could do and that she was working. She hung up on me again. I called back. No answer. I called the restaurant 12 times and eventually realized she had blocked my calls. I called back on a google number and it rang and she answered!I told her that it was very unprofessional to block me and that she didn’t even try to help me out or listen to what I was saying. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed. I have been a long time customer of Langano’s and the service wasn’t always the best but it has never been this bad. I feel very hurt and extremely disappointed by the way I was treated especially since I have been ordering here for the last few years. I will never be returning here again as the food is never worth such disrespectful service and behavior. I would not recommend going.

First time I’ve ever left a 1 star review for a restaurant. Food was delivered obviously overcooked and burned. The meat tasted like beef jerky. Entirely dry with no sauce. I called the store to place a complaint because i didn’t want to leave a negative review. Attendant picked up the phone, told me to come bring back the food at the restaurant, put me on hold and then hung up in my face.

The food was amazing! I got a vegetable combo and the golden tibs. This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was extremely flavorful. The service was phenomenal. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant made it very authentic. The lighting was dim but the decor and style made it feel genuine. There's an Ethiopian restaurant next door with white table cloths and seems a lot fancier than Langano. I've never been to the other restaurant but by the looks, I would choose Langano any day because of the real authentic feel.

The food all tasted alike—and VERY greasy. Our waitress "stretched" the truth when she said something wasn't available. After she was confronted—someone else waited on us. Food tasted, yet again, like the exact same spices—plus TOO, TOO MUCH oil was used. [Floated on top like an oil spill!] Let me suffice to say, the food was terrible (diarrhea), the service was CONDESCENDING and HORRIBLE, plus the bathroom was out of order! Ethiopian WAS one of my husband's most fav cuisines—ever, but thanks to Langano—no more. "We are never eating Ethiopian again!" Ethiopian is my fav cuisine—but, I will NEVER come here again either. This is the WORST Ethiopian restaurant I've EVER been to! [Fortunately, there are some others in the area that I can try. Wish me luck.]

I’ve been going there for a while with my little sister and the food is delicious. I love the veggie platter. I don’t even need no meat just the veggies alone is delicious. Yummy.

About two months ago, I had a fantastic lunch experience at this restaurant, giving it a five-star rating. However, today's dinner reservation for four people made through Google wasn't smoothly acknowledged by the front desk. Unfortunately, the food quality was disappointing—Kitifo lacked marination and flavor, and the Yebeg Tibs (fried meat) had only a few pieces fried with butter, resulting in an unsatisfying taste. Moreover, the portion sizes were notably small. Interestingly, the restaurant seemed more populated by people waiting for live music than those actively dining. I wouldn't recommend this place for nighttime dining unless they enhance their overall presentation.

I hate that I love this place. It’s like little Ethiopia around the corner. The restaurant aesthetic screams Addis, I could’ve sworn I saw a place like this back home. The music is always on point, no Tizita tough but for good reasons lol.I gotta say, is anything they could improve on the doors, the entrance door slams so hard behind you it’s like a crack of a shotgun. Then there’s the bathroom door, the men’s specifically, that one is just heavy and closes so damn hard like it doesn’t want you in or out lol.Overall the store is lovely, the hosts are polite and pretty, bonus. I enjoy coming here and grabbing some tea just for the vibes. Chill
Incredible hospitality From the welcoming atmosphere's to the delicious cuisine they serve, Langano Ethiopian restaurant a must-visit for any foodie looking for an authentic taste of Ethiopia.I love the presentation ,above all that delicious kitfo was mind blowingevery dish is a unique experienceThank you Langano?

The fried croaker with gomen, cabbage and injera were excellent. I felt the atmosphere was like D.C. and great.Vegetarian options: TheyKid-friendliness: They seemed family friendly.Parking: Limited, Langano is in the heart of little Ethiopia, Silver Spring, MD. Walking, and Metro.

They took my order and after 1hr they said we don't have it. On top of that the staff were rude and unfriendly when talking on the phone. I canceled my order, total waste of time ,money and energy.
