Ethiopian Restaurants near Herndon, VA

“We are fortunate to have a number of great Ethiopian restaurants in the DC area, and this one deserves a call out for the great variety of vegan options. Nice interior and very friendly staff. Our food was out in moments. BONUS Right next door is a vegan ice cream shop (Creme de la Crop). See reviews here on Happy Cow. We had the fabulous 10 item vegan sampler for dinner, and then went next door and got ice cream.

“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 😇❤️“

“Love Ethiopian food and there is finally one close to the house. So grateful!❤️❤️❤️❤️“
