Awash Ethiopian Restaurant

5/5 Ethiopian food!!! I’ve now been here three times in the last two years, and have traveled from all over Manhattan to come eat at this Awash! I love their Kitfo and vegetarian sampler platter. I’ll have to keep coming back so I can try everything on the menu! This isn’t fast food and it’s meant to be enjoyed slowly, so don’t eat here if you’re in a hurry.

My friends took me to this place for my birthday on October 30th and I really enjoyed the vegetarian platter and even picked at the meat platter. There were five of us and we had two bottles of wine and the bill was only $300. Not bad especiallysince I didn't have to chip in.

Excellent food, really some of the best and an authentic Ethiopian dining experience.

My one gripe would be with the service. Slow on the refills and never really checked in very often.

The Best Ethiopian food compared to CT and FL.
We have been regulars for 20 years.
Be sure to go for dinner, especially on the weekends and you will be rewarded with the best chef!!

Awesome food! I love that you get to eat with your hands! There may be a cultural disconnect with the way that they wait on you but they are very respectful and nice with smiles! Get the platter with meats and veggies! So good!

I am not sure why people give this place good rating. Undoubtedly the worst Ethiopian food I have ever had. Even their injera was extremely thin and didn’t hold the food.

The food is very good and tasty. Service is excellent. We orders Awash Special for 2 and a meat combo for 2. All put on one big plate for us to share. The servers kept checking on us and filling up the injera 3 times. The food is great. Will visit again.

Awash was recommended by my Ethiopian friend as the best place to try their food. The welcome was warm and the service was friendly. We were five and initially wanted to order samplers with other items from the menu but the food sharing fee is a very unusual and alogical rule and we had to change our mind. Finally, we ordered individually different food from the menu. I tried beef and lentil Sambusa and beef Siga Tibs. The food was delicious, I really enjoyed Sambusa.
Overall, we enjoyed the evening but considering numerous factors we decided that it was worth trying but doubt to return shortly.
