I enjoyed it! It was a fun experience. We got the engudai tibs, sambusa, meat combo and vegetable combo. The service was a bit slow but we were a big group so understandable. They also gave us a free bottle of Malbec to enjoy with our food. Would recommend it if you've never tried Ethiopian food.

Absolutely delicious! I had the vegan sampler, which comes with key sir alicha (stewed carrots), atkilt alicha (potato, carrot, and cabbage), gomen (collard greens), misir wat (red lentils), ater kik alicha (split peas), and shiro wat (yellow lentils). It's served on top of injera with more injera on the side. All of the dishes had strikingly different flavors, ranging from warm spices to fresh and bright. The injera was tangy and bouncy in texture. The meal came out to $32 after tax and tip, which is pretty good for the enormous portion.

vegan options galore. best Ethiopian in the US. order the veggie sambusas and combo platter. delicious!!! they have great meat dishes too. the staff are delightful as is the ambiance.

I haven't had Ethiopian food in such a long time and this place blew me out of the water. I was a bit worried that I didn't have a reservation walking in but was able to get seated very quickly for a party of 4 which was great. We ordered the Shared Platters for 4 people which is a restaurant policy (the amount of people = amount of shared platters). This was definitely way too much food, a portion size of 2 can definitely feed like 3-4 people, but I was really glad I tried it and was able to have a lot of leftovers. - Meat Combo - The presentation of both these sets were crazy, I loved the giant plate with all these different dishes sitting on top of the injera. I feel like I don't really remember how a lot of these dishes tasted, but each one was incredibly delicious and went very well with the injera that was slightly "sour". I even liked the beets dish which was a massive surprise because I do not like beets. - Awash Special - Again, the presentation here wow-ed me. My favorite dish in both these plates was the Special Kitfo which was incredibly flavorful and had a hint of spice on it. I know it's supposed to be raw meat but I couldn't taste it at all. This is officially my new favorite Ethiopian dish. Overall, absolutely wonderful experience especially good for coming with friends and sharing food. Will definitely be back!

one of the best ethopian places i have been to in NYC! ambiance, staff,service,food all is great. Can easily find spot even in busy hours. Their combo platters are great for sharing for 2 people. Loved everything!

This Awash location was not a wash! (I'm probably having a little too much fun with the pun here..) Come here for affordable, authentic Ethiopian food within an artfully decorated interior. I introduced one of my friends to Ethiopian food here on a holiday Monday, and they were blown away by the variety and taste. Service can be a bit slow, but the taste is flavorful with generous portions. We thoroughly enjoyed the vegetarian sampler with loads of injera. It was a bit of a struggle to finish all of it.. but we made good progress. The beets were the refreshing highlight from our meal.
