I loved the food. I recommend trying tibs and beg wot. The injera which is a spongy sour tasting flatbread is so delicious. It was very peaceful here and the worker was amazing and helpful. Give it a try.

Hours are Not correct on Google, i ordered food only to stop by and find the place shut down. Do not order from here, they are not open.

Had the trio for one but could have fed two. This is officially my favorite restaurant, life changing lamb! Pretty quiet on weekdays for dinner.

I am so happy to have found this place. I've been looking for a place that makes Tibs for years. Everything was amazing and tasted great! The coffee was smooth and rich and I was so happy that I cried.

My family and I always have a great time and experience when we come here. The staff remember who we are from visit to visit, even asked about missing family members when we showed up today without our full party. We all leave full and happy…maybe a little stuffed, but very happy!

Went here for lunch out of the blue with a co-worker especially as they have vegetarian options.
The food was very good and the woman working was friendly
Would recommend to drop in for lunch or dinner

Big plus is the Ethiopian coffee was amazing!

A hidden gem in Manassas!
I had an amazing experience at Vera’s Kitchen. The flavors of the Ethiopian food were absolutely incredible – the injera was perfectly soft and spongy, fresh, and paired beautifully with the different dishes and dips. Everything was thoughtfully prepared with care and attention to detail.
The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a great spot to enjoy with friends or a date, and the service was outstanding – warm, welcoming, and eager to explain the dishes and suggest the best combinations.
I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try authentic Ethiopian cuisine or simply enjoy a special meal with great food. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I did not leave a single crumb on the plate. If I was in the area, I would surely have gone back the next day to eat the same dish.

Today, I decided to explore the flavors from the East Africa by trying Ethiopian cuisine. The African continent is home to more than 50 countries, each with its own unique dishes. Having tried cuisines from various African countries, I was looking forward to comparing this cuisine with what I have had previously in other restaurants.

The waitress at Vera's Kitchen was very pleasant and able to explain the items on the menu when we ordered.

I choose to eat Beyaynetu, a vegetarian dish served with injera bread, a spongy injera flat bread made from highly nutritious gluten-free teff flour. I loved the complex and rich flavors of the five items on top of the injera bread. Pieces of the bread are normally torn off and used to grab the lentils and vegetables on top, although using a fork is also an option. And like I said-not a crumb was left on the plate. I finished the meal off with fine Ethiopian coffee that arrived in the traditional vessel.

If there is anything that could be improved, possibly the restaurant's decor but I went there for the food. When the food is this excellent, ambiance is just a bonus.

Great food and excellent service and ambiance. I was just in ethiopia and can say that the injera, coffee and food is very authentic. Highly recommend. We had tibs and foulle and beef cubes. Injera as well as coffee. Very good.

Vera is absolutely lovely! She welcomes everyone, and has options for every appetite and background. We tried the coffee, entrees, amd desserts... everything was incredible! The coffee is roasted in house, so just the smell of the place is wonderful!
Thank you, Vera! We'll be back soon!
