The restaurant has created something truly worth visiting. You'll have food to spare and the salad was notably fresh. The plates come loaded and the prices stay fair. The staff displayed remarkable friendliness and willingly addressed all inquiries. Long lines won't stop me from coming back repeatedly. Read less

We went there on a Saturday evening and surprisingly got a good table as the restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in (about 6 pm for dinner). The reason i gave only 3 stars is that they didn't have high chairs - I really wish restaurants who do not want kids to come to their location should just write that on their website. My kid is very well mannered and we love trying new foods with him - he is 18 months old so he cannot sit on a regular chair (and they only have those metallic chairs no sofa or cushioned seats). I wanted to just leave but then just waited back for the food. - the food is quite nice. The servers were warm and nice - but everything was pretty delayed (though that's okay given it was a Sat eve). We left by 7- 7:15 pm Read less

Long wait time for food to be served and not so great service (not very accommodating, didn’t have many clients but asked us to sit at a very small corner table). Authentic, chewy injera. The kitfo was good, spiced well. The meat sampler was very underwhelming, chicken undercooked, and meat in general not flavorful nor fresh. You can tell the sauce was separately prepared and then mixed with the meat. Read less

It may look like your average neighborhood restaurant, but the food is amazing!I wandered in with two friends on a Sunday afternoon, and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. Restaurant was not that crowded. We ordered Meat Sampler with one Premium Sampler Item and three boiled eggs (For three members together) You can get it individual plate. But we thought of eating Ethiopian way. The service person really explained everything about the ,menu and the quantity go the food. So we were not at all confused with anything. Food was so tasty and we could not stop eating. You can get Ethiopian beer in this restaurant. Only one negative thing I noticed is the washroom. It was not that great and may be its NY. So we need to adjust. Read less

(Once again I'm asking that you don't allow my horrible photography skills to color your impression of the food I review, but anyway) This place is great! Ordered online and it was ready the minute it said it would be. The man who gave me my order was very nice, the space is beautiful, as is the food. Ordering extra injera was overkill on my part, but it's delicious, so I'm not complaining. Ethiopia has truly mastered vegetarian food, and Awash has a great selection. A true celebration of spice and seasoning and all the best things vegetables can be. Don't miss the Gomen, their collard greens were absolute perfection. I can rest easy knowing I've found my go-to spot for NYC Ethiopian food. Read less
