Awash Ethiopian Restaurant offers a delightful tofu tibs and a lovely atmosphere. It is a go-to spot for flavorful and spicy Ethiopian comfort food with large portions. The quality of the food remains good, though some may find the prices have increased over time. The restaurant is known for being the absolute favorite place for Ethiopian cuisine, especially the meat sampler. Visitors are recommended to visit for dinner instead of lunch due to occasional late openings.
The restaurant has been a regular favorite for many customers for over 20 years, and is praised for having the best chef. Customers enjoy the unique experience of eating with their hands and appreciate the respectful and friendly service, even though there may be some cultural differences in the way they are waited on.
The food is consistently delicious and tasty, with the Awash Special and meat combo platters being particularly popular. The servers are attentive, keeping the injera (traditional Ethiopian flatbread) refilled multiple times. While one customer found the food sharing fee to be unusual, the overall dining experience is enjoyable, with the Sambusa and Siga Tibs being highlighted as particularly delicious.
