Ethiopian Restaurants near Herndon, VA

“This is the best Ethiopian food (and some of the best food) I've ever had. It's fresh and flavorful, and all of the meat dishes we had were so tender. We tried several veggie and meat options and they were all outstanding. My husband and I love Ethiopian food, so we took our family members who were visiting from out of town and they said it was the highlight of their entire 3 week trip. Service was friendly and very helpful (we ended up just asking them bring whatever they wanted to serve us based on our allergies and aversions). The options were very authentic - from the apps, to the Ethiopian beer, honey wine, and coffee (which they even served it with rue). They also gave us a spicy pepper sauce (upon request for the hottest thing they had), and that was incredible. It is made in house (it's not berbere, mitmita, or awaze. I think it started with a "D", at least the English pronunciation). I would buy it by the jar if available! There was plenty of parking, and we went between a trip to the Udva-Hazy Air & Space and Great Falls. It was the perfect day.“

“My family had a lovely vegan veggie plate dinner. We shared three veggie plates between six people, and that was plenty of food. The injera was cooked perfectly for scooping. The greens and lentils were flavorfully seasoned. Dinner was a great value with plenty of delicious food for the price. Tensu will soon need to expand their dining area, because the food and service are amazing!“

Please note there are multiples of these same types of stores in this complex with the storefronts of the street. I chose the one that I felt the most comfortable with at the time. Which I was walking 🚶🏻‍♂️by and looked 👀 inside and saw some tasty treats sitting on the shelf and decided to try them out. The wonderful lady working the store was very inviting, warm-hearted and I instantly fell at home. It is very good meeting people like this, the kind that make you feel appreciated when you step into their establishment.
I knew what the other pastry was it was a samosa 😋. I had to look up the second treat that I bought.

What is Ethiopian 🇪🇹 baklava?

Baklava (/bɑːkləˈvɑː, ˈbɑːkləvɑː/, or /bəˈklɑːvə/) is a layered pastry dessert made of filo pastry, filled with chopped nuts, and sweetened with either syrup or honey.

Unfortunately but fortunately I bought every single one that she had lol 😆

Overall this was a most beautiful experience 🇪🇹💝 They did have food offered that she was cooking fresh. If you are definitely looking for an Ethiopian style home cooked meal. This is your location. I wish the owner of this establishment Peace 🕊️, Health ⚕️, Wealth 💰and giving Gratitude 🙏 Always 😇❤️“
