Amazing experience. The food was clean, warm, incredibly delicious, and perfectly seasoned—everything was cooked just right. Hands down the best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had.

The service was outstanding: professional, kind, generous, and extremely attentive. I didn’t have to ask for anything—they anticipated every need. They truly went above and beyond and even gave me more food than I ordered. Highly recommend!

After living in Abu Dhabi, with excellent Ethiopian food, we struggled to find a comparable meal. Dama was excellent in food quality and portions. Betty, our server, could not have been more hospitable, and we loved being the only non-Ethiopian patrons! We will be back-often!

I received not even fully cooked food, when I called and complained the woman who answered the phone was very rude and unprofessional and didn’t even apologize for it.

The food was good. The service was even better. Lots of delicious African treats that this bakery makes and my favorite is their marble bread.
