I settled into a seat at the bar, and right away the intimate vibe won me over -- cozy and genuinely warm. The fish dish was absolutely delicious -- flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. The yellow lentils were rich and comforting, and the injera? It was the ideal vehicle for everything on the plate. I enjoyed every single bite. The service matched the food -- sweet, attentive, and unhurried. The kind of warmth that reminds you a real family is behind this place. It was a cold one outside, so on my way out I ordered a spiced tea to-go. The perfect ending. Nazrawi doesn't just feed you -- it sends you off right. Highly recommend. This one's going in the regular rotation.

Tried the sambusa as an app, and when I was undecided between the two options, owner suggested to get one of each since dish comes with two; preferred beef over lentils, but both good; spicy sauce on plate was delightful! As an entree, had the Sheba combo with spicy beef, spicy lamb, eggplant, cabbage with carrots; served with house salad and fresh injera; all delicious, meats were tender and nicely portioned so easy to eat with bites of injera. Ambiance: low frills, clean tables and clean bathrooms Service: friendly and fast; owner recommended the iced Ethiopian tea mixed half and half with lemonade which was refreshing and not too sweet.

One way that I always like is seeing something on the menu I rarely see at other Ethiopian restaurants. That was their Chicken and Spinach option. The other was, for lack of a better term, a "lightness" to some of the entrees. This was particularly true of the meat dishes. While always tasty,they sometimes have a heavier, or oilier taste to them. The dishes here, in particular the chicken dishes, tasted lighter and fresher. The atmosphere here is a bit quieter, we had great service, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience.

I found this place on Yelp and decided to give them a try tonight…read more I placed my order online, however the online system I guess was down because I had to reorder when I arrived... But it was all good. One person was in front of me waiting on his order while I walked around, taking in the sights of this restaurant...I was honestly expecting the restaurant to be bigger...fancier but it was quit small and intimate...the coffee ceremony set up was lovely. One of these days I'm going to convince my hunnie to create this space in our home. I just LOVE an Ethiopian coffee experience. Anyhoo, there was one lady working...cooking and manning the spot. I was empresses by her doing all of this alone! The restaurant was clean...there was plenty seating if you want to dine in...an Ethiopian playlist going...made me weskista for a sec...hahahaaa!! IYKYK... Anyhoo, for dinner I ordered 4 lentil sambousas, (my mouth is watering just thinking about them), the veggie platter with 8 veggies....ohhhh BOY!!! & fish tibs for me and spicy beef tibs for my hunnie. My fish tibs were delicious! Flavorful and savory...the veg plater I didn't really care for but the boo thang loved them. My sambousa was also delicious. One of them had meat which my husband enjoyed! However I did ask for all lentils... I'm sure we'll probably venture back here one of these days... Happy Yelping!

The one person there seemed to be the server, chief Cook, Owner, and a really nice person. We had the tilapia tips that were the best Ethiopian prepared fish I've ever tasted after years of eating this type of food whenever we traveled. It was lightly sautéed in a delicious sauce and was fresh, we could hear the vegetables being chopped. Will you hear the food cooking while we waited. The talpia ordered mild , it came full flavor while still meeting air fryer free taste. Lamb was lovely. It had a perfect freshly cooked lamb taste since it was freshly cooked. Each of the several vegetables was prepared, apparently fresh, and tasted perfect. The injura was serve warm and it also tasted freshly made The place was clean and comfortable. We travel in a class C RV so parking is always a challenge. The restaurant is located in a one floor industrial Park that holds mostly small offices that are located and what looks like converted town houses We were able to park our RV without any problem although during the day I suspect the parking fills. We will certainly go here again the next time we are in the DC area! After years of Adams Morgan, this representative fresh view of excellent food.

That level of care really stood out. The restaurant has cozy, homey vibes, and on a busy Friday night we were lucky to snag the last table. I always order the veggie combo and kitfo when trying a new Ethiopian spot, and while the flavors were good, the food itself wasn't especially memorable -- though that may be because we're spoiled in the DMV with so many excellent Ethiopian restaurants. That said, the service alone would keep me coming back. Warm, attentive, and welcoming -- if hospitality counted as a main dish, this place would be a regular for me.

The food was decent, but not quite all there. I ordered an Ethiopian veggie platter and while some of the sides were good, some were overspiced and didn't feel fresh. My partner tried some and noted the same thing about the spices. He ordered some lamb from the Indian menu and it was also a bit too overspiced. I'm definitely no stranger to Ethiopian food (its my favorite cuisine around here), so spice is usually good in my books. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back.. but might give them another chance.

The Sambusa (triangle pastry) was very good. Filled with lentils with a little spicy kick. Accompanied with a diced hot pepper relish, which was very good. We enjoyed the Awaze tips, beef tips sautéed in a spicy sauce. The vegetarian platter also was good. A couple of the items were less impressive than the others (I really liked the greens and green beans), but overall a solid platter. Plenty to eat for the three of us - we couldn't finish everything. The injera bread was legit. And we were served a good serving of them with our platter. We were there the evening before Thanksgiving, and there were no other eat-in customers.
