I was in the mood for some Ethiopian cuisine and came across this location!…read more I was greeted and able to choose a table of my picking. I dined in during the afternoon (lunch time). The restaurant seemed very empty, as I was the only one dining in. I did see a'lot of people ordering takeout, so my guess is that business ramps up in the evening. The ambiance was relaxed with dim lighting. Now, onto the cuisine! I ordered a Kala and a Beef Sambusa as appetizers. The kala was very delicious! A jalapeño pepper stuffed with minced jalapeño, tomatoes, and peppers! It was the perfect mixture of both spicy and savory. The beef sambusa was oh so smooth! The beef was nice and seasoned, and the shell was nice and crispy too! For my main meal, the lamb for the awaze tibs was seasoned extremely well and tender!!! The spicy red lentils were oh so dreamy, and the collard greens hit my spirit with a powerful medley of flavor!

A humble but delicious Ethiopian experience…read more Tigi's Ethiopian Restaurant is the best Ethiopian restaurant in Howard County. While it doesn't sport a large establishment with only modest decorations, the quality of the food they serve makes it well worth repeat visits. Tigi serves traditional Ethiopian food, small blended dishes, typically pastes or chopped meats and vegtables, heavily seasoned and topped on injera, a flat spongy bread that has a hint of sour flavor. The injera is both your plate and utensils as you tear off chunks of it to grab and scoop your other dishes. Ethiopian food is typically communal, shared among friends and family, but Tigi offers smaller portions that can be personalized if you're more comfortable not sharing. If you're new to Tigi, or Ethiopian food in general, I suggest their Meat Combo 3, which offers three different meat dishes and three different vegetable dishes. You get some level of customization for the dishes, and I suggest getting a beef, chicken, and lamb dish and any of the vegetable dishes that catches your eye. The vegetable dishes are also vegan friendly! I don't suggest ordering extra injera, as Tigi provides a mountain of them with any of their combo meals. One of Tigi's biggest strengths is that you can order their food to go, making them the first Ethiopian takeout spot I've ever been to. Tigi also has a small connected store that acts as an Ethiopian market. If you love Ethiopian or want to try it, Tigi's is a great spot in Howard County.

This is an "international," restaurant in the old Arco's spot that's mostly Eritrean food, which is…read morebasically the same food as Ethiopian. The Arco's sign is still up, and when you enter, it looks exactly the same as the old Arco's and there's a very local white guy, Bob, the bartender, who greets you. (Bob, and the rest of the crew are fantastic, btw.) I was initially confused if I was in the right place. And, since it's exactly like Arco's, there's a back patio as well as ample indoor seating. The menu is also a bit disorienting since it covers everything from bagels to linguini to kitfo and tibs. We stuck to the Eritrean side of the menu, and were delighted with our food. For three people, we had the veggie platter, which had beets, so good they tasted like candy; the excellent lamb tibs, and the kitfo that Daniel, the Mexican manager/cook steered us away from ordering raw as we had done in Ethiopian restaurants. At around 7:30 on a Friday evening, we were the only ones eating, although there was a group of Eritrean young men on the patio and a few women at the bar. We talked with Solomon, the owner, about his country. We talked with Daniel about Mexico City. We talked with Bob about East Baltimore. Patsy Cline was playing on the jukebox in the bar. It was all a wonderful, very urban mishmash. Highly recommended for both the food and the atmosphere!

I've ordered the vegetarian platter a number of times (all sizes), and it's pretty standard Ethiopian fare, lentils, chickpeas, yellow peas etc., but they make it well and plentiful.

They have ample seating and a nice patio in the back, but I haven't seen that many people in there yet. I would definitely recommend Dahlak and I hope more people enjoy it so I can continue to have this food in my neighborhood!

At first glance, I wasn't impressed ( yeah yeah judging a book by its cover... I know better) I was wrong. The food was very flavorful, generous, and downright satisfying. We started with the sambusas (meat and veggie). They were good, though a bit mild (personally for me), I still give the edge to an Indian samosa, but that's just me. The combo is absolutely the move. We shared a three-person platter with lamb, beef, and chicken tibs, plus a variety of vegetarian dishes (see photos). Everything came served on rolls of injera, the spongy Ethiopian flatbread. This is a hands-on meal. As in, you eat with your fingers. Yes... it was glorious. The presentation is classic Ethiopian style: a large platter lined with injera, topped with meats and vegetables spread out like they're feeding 50 million people. The trick is to tear off the injera under the food, not the extra rolls, because it soaks up all that flavorful gravy. It's harder than it sounds, but totally worth it. The main dishes were very flavorful. I was genuinely impressed by both the quantity and the depth of flavor across the entire meal. These are the happy surprises I live for. Highly recommend giving it a try.

I ordered the vegetarian platter and felt it was a good deal and amount of food. I ordered a boiled egg as well as a side of ayib.

At the point I received it I was near done eating. The food tasted good and had a good price point. They also offers Ethiopian beer which was great. This was a good spot, definitely a hole in the wall so I do suggest making a reservation.

When you go in, you have to have the mind set that it is a small business restaurant. I think it's because when I hear James Beard, that service is a part of it. They didn't know what beers they had or wine. I had to think what beers would be here based on me being at a Guyanese event! lol. The food was OK! It wasn't mind blowingly good. There is another Ethiopian spot in SS that was so nice and extremely good food so I thought this would be 10x that. This is small, but there was no music and it was sooooo bright in there. I feel like all of that sets the mood for the experience. The positive is that it is still extremely reasonable. We walked out of there with a $60 bill, which was two beers, beef and veggie platter and a side of rice and chicken drum. Also, you are still supporting small business when you go and not some chain.
