Waited an hour after ordering our food to arrive (unacceptable) - never one table greeting after ordering - it was not horrible eating without utensils, but it was a surprise - I am just happy my mother didn't join us

Service was great! Coffee was Terrifuc and food was prepared well- but I ordered spicy and it wasn't spicy at all.

Absolutely enjoyed being back here after 20 years or so. The food was delicious, and the service excellent. It's very spacious and even has two bathrooms — rare for a restaurant of this size and pricing. I won't wait 20 years again!

Amazing food, terrible, slow, inattentive service. QR code ordering is ridiculous at sit-down restaurant.

I ordered the in-bone goat dish with collard greens (included). I also ordered a side of Alitcha. None of the food was cooked properly. The carrots in the Alitcha were not tender. The goat was still tough. The food was also not spicy enough. Skip this one and venture further into Harlem for Ethiopian food.

Delicious and authentic food and the portions are reasonably priced and reasonably sized. Attracts a diverse clientele, not only students from the University. They have gluten free njara for a small extra price.

Great restaurant with excellent service! The staff are so friendly and quick. The food was also really tasty. This is a great neighborhood joint that I’ll definitely go back to again.
We went there Sunday night, waited for a whole hour for our food but nothing came. The servers were chilling there and just chatting. I am super disappointed, never come to this restaurant.

Expect an hour and more before you get the food. Environment is nice but the slow service leaves a sour taste…

I discovered this place just recently after living in Harlem for more than a decade, and I'm sad I didn't know about it all along. The food was amazing! And a very pleasant eat in experience which can be hard to find for Ethiopian / Eritrean cuisine which is often more take out. They also have a very nice wine and cocktail list. I will definitely be back!

Lunch rush extends well into afternoon at this busy eatery. I was especially impressed with their dessert quality. Employees notice subtle customer signals. Massawa impresses with its thoughtful little extras. Strong backing for this place.
