Yummmm
The best part was the filo dough appetizer rolls filled with beef. So, so yummy!! The beef chunks in the main course were too tough. Maybe stick with chicken? Service was good until we wanted to leave. It took at least 30 minutes for us to get the check and our credit card back. It was so odd! Anyhow, we will still be going back. The food was so good.

Gives a new meaning to "finger food"
Lentils & lamb are my favorite but everything is so good! Nice end to the meal is the Ethiopia coffee. You couldn't ask for a friendlier staff.

Food that warms the soul
Delicious, perfect portions, unlimited spongy bread. The waitresses continuously filled our water glasses (much appreciated considering the spicy factor of the food). Great!

Great Value... but I want FLAVOR with my spice
I love Ethiopian food and I've been to several of NYC's Ethiopian restaurant. As amazing as the prices were, the dollar saving value combos were not good enough for me to go back. The small reason would be there was no traditional style dining, which is a portion of the experience. But the large and real reason is that the food wasn't that great. Yes it was spicy, no doubt about that (not that spice is a problem), but there was very little flavor to spice ratio. The best part about Ethiopian food is the way the flavors and the spice melts together to create a fabulous dish, but it just didn't do that for me here.

Delicious and different!
Highly recommend the combo platters, you get to try all sorts of flavors. It comes out on a giant platter with an injera bread topped with different stews and sauces. The injera bread is a bit sour and spongy and may take a few bites to get used to, also for some it may be a new experience eating with no utensils. But well worth it, everything is tasty and good value too!

Best Ethiopian
Awash was recommended by a woman we sat next to at the Bistro Ten 18. She steered us right. Went for lunch and had some of everything on the lunch menu by ordering a veggie combo and the combo for one. Beautifully presented and phenomenlly good.

Delicious!
A friend and I, having never tasted Ethiopian cuisine, decided to dine at this restaurant last night. I must say, we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was simple, yet delicious, and our waitress was quite nice. The restaurant is small, but has a cozy atmosphere. The table we sat at jiggled a bit, though, so I was slightly concerned about the water glasses toppling over. The decorations are authentic-looking, which is quite appealing. I'd definitely recommend this place! The dishes are definitely worth their price, and are very filling.
