Dashen Ethiopian Cuisine offers a unique culinary experience, featuring a diverse menu of authentic Ethiopian dishes. Customers often praise the restaurant's delicious food, especially the beef, lamb, and vegetable offerings, including the popular collard greens. The dining atmosphere is family-style, and the location in downtown New Brunswick adds to its charm. The restaurant has been recognized as one of the best Ethiopian eateries in New Jersey.
While some customers have noted that the service can be a bit indifferent and that the background chatter can be loud, they still appreciate the extensive menu choices and the beautiful wall decor. Many have enjoyed dishes like raw kitfo with shiro and gomen wot, feeling that the restaurant makes them feel like family. The tabletops are adorned with traditional utensils, and although Ethiopian food is typically eaten with hands, the soft bread provided is perfect for scooping. Many dishes, such as lentils and lamb, are aromatic and delicious, and the atmosphere is enhanced by smiling staff. Overall, Dashen continues to be a wonderful experience for those seeking Ethiopian cuisine.
