Shagga Coffee And Restaurant

The photo is over the top excellent beautiful artwork and atmosphere my favorite place to go to eat Ethiopian food .

It was my very first time coming here with my boyfriend. It was fantastic. The food was delicious! The lady that was at the front was friendly! The whole experience for me was awesome! Trying a different cuisine was an awesome experience!

Dining area and bathroom were very clean, service was warm and friendly, and the food was exceptionally flavorful—I got the vegetarian combo. Will definitely be coming back!

Very tasty fresh and delicious Ethiopian food. A good balance of spices without being too much. This is our favorite place for Ethiopian food which is a great compliment considering all the other options in the DC area.

Growing up in N.W. DC I was privileged to be exposed to an array of different cultures. Being raised in that kind of enlightenment equates to access to a smorgasbord of worldwide FOOD!! On this day I chose to go to @shaggarestaurant for some delicious Ethiopian cuisine. Located on 6040 Baltimore Ave., Hyattsville M.D. this spot gives you a true taste of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 with its traditional ingredients. Menu items include salads, chicken entrees like Doro Alicha (tender chicken simmered in onion, garlic, ginger and herb butter served with a boiled egg placed on Injera bread $15), Yesiga Tibbs (Beef cubes sautéed in onions, green peppers and herbs $15), as well as fish, lamb and vegetarian options. For a quick lunch we chose an order of lentil Sambusas (pictured-pastry shells filled with your choice of chicken, beef, or lentils $5 for three), and their Doro Wot ( pictured-tender chicken simmered in spicy red pepper sauce called Berbere, garlic, onions, and herbed butter sauce $16-instead of a boiled egg we got potatoes). You can eat the entrees and/or sides with a fork but...I recommend that you lay your fork down and eat this meal with the Injera (a slightly sour, fermented flatbread with a spongy texture traditionally made out of teff flour). Eating this food by tearing off a piece of Injera and scooping up your meal just feels right, as the textures and flavors blend together perfectly!! I highly recommend @shaggarestaurant via quality food, grand customer service, and a calming environment...especially if you’re trying Ethiopian food for the first time. Again, the customer service was grand, they exuded patience, we were treated warmly, and there are just straight up kind people in this establishment. Parking? There was plenty of parking, so no worries about that at all. Y’all, I took some quick snapshots of the artwork on the walls...simply beautiful!! You can get your food to go, delivered via third party or eat inside the restaurant. Look I know you’ve had Ethiopian food before, GO THERE and have theirs!! If you haven’t had Ethiopian food before, GO THERE and have theirs!! Trust me!! That’s it. **This establishment is Covid compliant**
