Betanya Ethiopian Carryout Grocery & Café

Unforgettable Ethiopian Flavors at Betanya Ethiopian Carryout Grocery & Café

Betanya is an absolute treasure! The food, atmosphere, and hospitality here capture everything that makes Ethiopian cuisine so special.

Their tibs, cabbage, and kitfo combo is simply perfect — one of the best I’ve ever enjoyed anywhere. The flavors are rich, balanced, and full of authenticity. Each bite feels like a celebration of Ethiopia’s culinary tradition, prepared with genuine care and love.

The injera is soft and fresh, pairing beautifully with every dish. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, every meal feels freshly made and full of heart. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always make sure you leave satisfied.

And don’t miss the Ethiopian coffee ceremony — it’s the perfect finishing touch to an exceptional dining experience.

I’ve had Ethiopian food in many places, but Betanya stands above them all. This is a true five-star experience — delicious food, wonderful people, and the authentic taste of home. Highly recommended!

This is so insane to pay $44 for this as the house special!!! What’s the special about this? This portion you can get it for $20+ at other Ethiopian Restaurants! I couldn’t believe how it was light on my hand after paying $44 and you can’t have it for 2 people even and I had to returned after I checked it in my car there is no way I would pay this much for this food!! With this price you can have a meal for 4 peoples !! So sorry for none Ethiopian people because they don’t know but we know so you can’t foul everyone please!! We know our food !! Even at high end restaurants u don’t pay this much!! Never comeback!! This is a scam !

amazing customer service and great food!

This was my first time ordering food from this place I got ketefo and Tibs and both was not that good , I don’t think I will order again maybe I will just buy the injera from them .

Please be careful about what you order from this place. I bought meat from this place and it turned into mushy substance when I cook it. I am so worried and horrified about the food safety at this place. I am so glad we caught it can you imagine giving this to your kids. This so crazy, I threw out everything I bought from them. I just want everyone else to know and be safe. I have a video as well but google doesn’t allow video uploaded. Hope you all are not giving this to your kids. Be safe, honestly only here to warn you, the owners are such arrogant people they deserve to be shut.

I had great experience ordering food for an event from Betanya Market. The food was ready on time and the packaging was excellent. Nothing spilled all the way from Woodbridge to Herndon. Their price is also very competitive, I know that because I called several other catering services. The person I spoke with (Daniel) was very helpful in suggesting the right size of order for my guests.
Overall excellent experience and I highly recommend Betanya Ethiopian Market for everyone.

Very dependable , worry free experience for my son’s graduation party . From start to finish they do it all … quality food with reasonable price . I will order it again & again

We used Betanya catering which i was recommended by my close friend for our daughter grad and our anniversary party. Liya truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we reached out to her her communication was prompt and professional even tho she sound very busy every time I talked to her. But she was attentive to our needs
The food was delicious Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.
Only thing is I wish they have the option to substitute with the dish choice but otherwise
The staff from Betanya were courteous and highly efficient. They arrived well in advance to setup and and very professional ( coudnt get the servers names) they allow us to focus on enjoying the event without worrying about the logistics. Wll done Liaye and Dani. Keep up with the good work. I recommend Betanya catering highly!!!!

The woman is very rude, discourteous, and uncivil. We wont recommend her catering service for graduation or any event.
