My hubby and I went to Wass Ethiopian Restaurant for dinner today and we absolutely loved it. It was our first time trying Ethiopian food. We got the lamb wat with vegetarian combo and everything was so tasteful and very well seasoned. We'll come back to try other items from the menu for sure. Highly recommend this place. Customer service was also great - very friendly lady :)

The quality and taste of the food are outstanding. Portion sizes are very good which left us all feeling full and satisfied.
The chef chatted with us a bit, this gave our experience a personal touch which made our visit even more enjoyable.

We've eaten there a few times already and will return.

A gem of a restaurant.
