About Bethel Cafe

Bethel Cafe is a small, hidden gem of a restaurant located off Columbia Pike, known for its Ethiopian cuisine. It is one of the few Ethiopian places that opens early, at 8:30am. The cafe offers a variety of vegetarian options, including a vegetarian combo and a veggie platter, which are highly recommended. The lentils have a nice spice to them, and the injera, a type of Ethiopian flatbread, is spongy and enjoyable. The coffee is made from roast to finish, providing a fresh and unique experience. Customers have praised the amazing food and service, describing it as above and beyond. The owner is kind and welcoming, treating guests like family and sharing the Ethiopian coffee ceremony. Many have enjoyed the Bethel Special for 2, which is nicely portioned and flavorful. The cafe also sells Ethiopian spices, making it a wonderful place for both dine-in and delivery. Parking is convenient with spots available right in front of the location.

Thanks to Tracye McQuirter of By Any Greens Necessary for recommending this Ethiopian Cafe to me. The sign on the store says Bethel Cafe. I ordered the Vegetarian Platter. THEE VERY BEST! Friendly staff and accommodating. I will be venturing out to Arlington, VA on occasion just to come here.
very courteous people, and I love the area of ceremony café!!!
I really enjoyed this!!! I’m going to make my way back to Arlington from Stafford, just to eat again. The flavors on the meat combo were outstanding. I enjoyed having the added spices on the side to control added salt and heat level. Even the salad and cheese a delicious addition. Very well prepared and the portions were enough for a second meal the next day.
