★★★★☆ 4.0 jacob phillips · Jan 2026

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and it did not disappoint. The owner was extremely kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. Everything felt hearty and comforting, and you definitely get your money’s worth. My only minor critique is that I wish there were more options available, as I would have liked to try a wider variety of dishes. Overall, Awash is a great introduction to Ethiopian cuisine with excellent service and satisfying food. A solid spot if you’re looking to try something new.

The food is absolutely delicious however, please customers BEWARE of the business owners terrible business ethics. My family drove from KY after a competition to enjoy our favorite cuisine. We entered and was seated immediately. The aroma was absolutely magnetic. We ordered a veggie and meat plate. I was aware of the veggie plate price, $19.99. I expected to pay no more than $40 for a veggie and meat plate. Long story short, she told us she charged us $20 per person (2 adults and 1 child) totaling $60. What? That was nowhere on the menu or on a visible sign. That was entirely unprofessional and underhanded. After we asked for an itemized bill and expressed our dissatisfaction did she give us a $20 refund. Mind you we gave her a 25% tip. I was very displeased with this owner and her busines

Decided to try out some local Ethiopian fare because I was in the mood for some spice. This place had the best reviews, and I found out why. Ordered in advance and picked it up at the restaurant. Very unassuming exterior, it would be easy to overlook it when passing by. Inside, there were few tables in a narrow space, but the smells coming from the kitchen were amazing! The ladies sitting there were friendly and handed me my food. The bag was much heavier than expected. When I got home and opened the boxes, one a veg sampler and the other beef tibs, it looked like they had to press the food down to close the container. Massive portions, even by my American standards. Seriously, each box was easily 2-3 normal sized servings. The food was incredible. Each of the different veg types were g

The food was so good; we didn’t wait long, and she knew our order without us needing to say much. Highly recommend!

I was really wanting some Ethiopian food and this place was recommended to me. I'm glad I made the drive over there. It might not be a fancy place by any means, for some it may be off putting, for me it's part of the experience and the food is great! There are only 6 tables inside and the menu is pretty basic, you don't really choose what you want, she ask you if you want meat or veggies and she makes you a plate of what she made for the day the portion is well worth the money. My photo is one veggie plate closest to you and the meat one for the day. We will definitely be returning.
