Long wait time for food to be served and not so great service (not very accommodating, didn’t have many clients but asked us to sit at a very small corner table).
Authentic, chewy injera. The kitfo was good, spiced well. The meat sampler was very underwhelming, chicken undercooked, and meat in general not flavorful nor fresh. You can tell the sauce was separately prepared and then mixed with the meat.

Great food in a plain, unassuming atmospheric. One of my favorite places to go for a good meal and quiet conversation. I always get the sampler so I can try as many dishes as possible.

I’ve been coming here for 15+ years since I found Awash when I first moved to the city. It is consistently the best Ethiopian food and friendly service I’ve had anywhere in the USA. I’ve tried it all over Harlem and other NYC spots, in Vegas, in SF, etc….

The flavors are always top tier, the meat tender and veggies beyond tasty, and I just love this place!!

Always a friendly smile from the staff and I’m really just grateful for this...
