I had never had Ethiopian food before. These guys made it a fun experience, teaching me how to eat it without Western cutlery. Food is good and reasonably priced; staff is friendly. Great place!

Solid Eritrean place! We had a great vegie platter and excellent meat like beef with okra and really good doro wat. I recommend it as a place to visit in AdMo. We had initially wanted to go to Zennebec but could not handle the 45 min wait.

The atmosphere is a bit gritty but that's part of the experience. The food was fantastic!!! Great service and the other patrons were also great. It had a communal feel that I rarely find in DC. Loved it.

Generous portions, and perfectly balanced flavors and spices. Amazing service! Without a doubt, the best Ethiopian food I've had in a decade.

Some of my friends from Peace Corps recommended this place last year and it is amazing! I spent a couple years living in northern Ethiopia, and Asmara has definitely become my go-to spot for an authentic habesha experience in DC. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, and drinks are cheap too. The service is very attentive and the owner, Mary, is so friendly and always makes sure my friends and I have a great time.
