Great food. I had the meat sampler and it was all good but the highlights were the Shito Wat (chickpeas in tomatoes.abd onion) and the Special Ribs (marinated beef). Both were very flavorful. The Injera (spongy flatbread) was also excellent. Main dish with tip was $28. The atmosphere is very casual. The bathroom is unisex and was very clean. There are 4 steps down to the entrance from the street. I did not see a ramp. The service was friendly, professional, attentive and fast. My water glass was never empty. I enjoyed it very much and will be back.Wheelchair accessibility: There are 4 steps down from the street level. I didn't see a ramp.
Food is good -- or would be, except the veggies are GROSSLY undercooked (have experienced this across two delivery orders now in the last month). Mostly "al dente" lentils and cabbage? No thank you. It's a shame, because this place could be good otherwise. But clearly they're rushing their line and not prepping properly.

We had a veggie sampler and a meat sampler and everything was delicious. The greens were tender with the right amount of bitterness, and the meat dishes were spicy and vibrant. For two folks in our group this was their first Ethiopian meal and they loved it.
The best Ethiopian food in NYC!!!! I ALWAYS go here when I go to NYC. Not to be missed!

Oh my goodness the food here is so delicious. Went for my birthday with both of my kids. We stayed with drinks and my son loved his mango drink. We had two appetizers the engudai tibs (mushrooms) and Tim Tim fit fit. The engulfs was so good my son who doesn't eat mushrooms loved this dish. The Tim Tim fit fit was also premium. We had the meat sampler with awash chicken, siga tibs, beg alicha, and special tibs. All the meat was delicious. The lamb was slightly tough though. The awash chicken had a great flavor to it. We also had the lentils and the gomen all were delicious vegetables. We ate every... last... bite. We were so full we were unable to have dessert which was sad because it was my birthday and we were ready to try ice cream stuffed donuts down the street. Oh well. Another time. But definitely will return to Awash.

Visited Awash location LES, on Friday In March, little after 7pm. Did not to dine in and ordered takeout (ordered Shiro Wat) as I had to reach work before 8pm. Anticipated wait for one dish was about 15 to 20 mins as communicated to me by the server, observing the light dinner crowd that evening. As the wait time approached and passed 20 mins, ordered a beer. Had to bide away the time, why not have a refreshing local beer.And 35 minutes later received an apology for the wait and got my takeout.Naturally the food is delicious, service needs a spark!
