We have ordered kitfo and awaze tips. It was the most spicy food we have ever tasted. This was not thier usual menu. They used a lot of spice to mask the taste of the food that has been their for days. We have stomach pain the entire day. Don't order any meat products from this restaurant during fasting season.

It was my first experience at the location and I was very disappointed. The food is overrated and the service was not up to par. The server insisted that my guest pay the bill even though I asked her not to do it. I was told there was no manager on duty to override the transaction, even though the bar was fully stocked with alcohol. They didn't have basic tonic water for gin.

Superb ambiance, design and layout unfortunately NOT matched by food quality(at least what we had!) We thought they may have mixed up our order until our server confirmed it, but our Awaze Tibs looked nothing like one. It came out looking as beef stew or beef soup, saturated with spicy sauce! It consisted of roughly 80% sauce and 20% Tibs. We're Ethiopians and never seen anything remotely close to it. Google "Awaze tibs" and you see tender chunky tibs moderately marinated in regular Awaze until it has juicy texture with little to no sauce. Not some tiny chunks of Tibs overtaken by watery soup! An absolute failure there! Our second dish of Gomen Besiga was at best underwhelming! Very tired and overcooked Collard greens with chunks of meat that were too scarce and tasteless! Needless to say that at close to $25/entrée, this place should arguably claim the priciest menu award in the DMV, a region dotted with authentic Ethiopian Restaurants at $15-$20 price point. You just not going to get the cozy fireplaces and fancy designs as Yeshi.

A horrible experience. We waited sitting for one hour and 30 minutes after we ordered to get food . And when it arrived it was dry and overcooked. A large party with kids, our night was ruined. And the bill was eye watering.

Before I give this review..I’m American as hell so if I say one of these dishes wrong just let me live ? in summary, just visit here.The ambiance is ? the service was amazing. I asked a lot of questions before I ordered something because I cannot do too much spice, but a little is necessary (I’m Caribbean).I had the Kitfo cooked medium and rare. Both were simply amazing. They also have a decent wine selection.Parking is plentiful in the back.It’s delicious and everything was so fresh. Must try!

I ordered on Uber eats and it was the best Ethiopian I have had since I’ve moved to Virginia! 10/10 everything was so
Hardly leave reviews but their BK tibs were SO juicy and flavorful yumm. Finally, a spot that rivals DC's Habeesha !

I've been to this restaurant a few times but today was by far my worst experience here. I arrived with a group of 6 and when we ordered there were 2-3 groups of other people dining there. Our waitress was not attentive at all as she was forgetting our order and had her earphones in. We had ordered some kocho on the side and after reminding our server she forgot to bring it out, she gave us a serving of two for a group of 6 people. We asked if that was it and she responds, "yes that's it" without asking if we needed more. Throughout our lunch, nobody asked us if we needed refills or additional food. When we finished eating, we ordered coffee for 5 of us and waited about 10 minutes. Another waitress came up to us and said that because she was busy with other customers, she couldn't make our coffee. It wasn't even that busy. She didn't ask if we were willing to wait or if there was anything else she could offer us. This is very poor business and I'm very displeased with my experience.

Me and my family went the to have nice family dinner with friends with family but it was so badFood was so bad nothing like on the description on the menu we ordered veggie combo it says 7 type of sauce is served in it but we got only 4 and whenever we ask for more sauce they change us $18+ more and I had bad experience specially when you try to introduce your culture to some not familiar. Please don’t choose this please

Delicious Ethiopian cuisine, thank you for including extra injera bread with my order. Very healthy food, filling and satiating, prepared with authentic Ethiopian spices that are highly appealing and take you on a global adventure!
