Awaze

Service was incredible, received our food immediately and it was really good. The atmosphere is nice inside and would definitely recommend it for students or workers looking for a place to settle down and work on some projects. The portions were also good, we had more than enough food.

Mmmmmm, new Ethiopian in the 'hood! With affordable prices (most dishes in the $20s and combs in the $30s) and plenty of flavor, Awaze will do just nicely in the area while offering slightly newer, more modern digs than its competition. Over a catch-up lunch, my friends and I munched on the Awaze Veggie Combo for two, which offered loads of string beans, red lentils, collard green, chickpeas, cabbage, split peas and beetroot. We paired that with the Meat Combo for two, which came with doro wot, tibs, yesiga alicha, and two side veggies (we added more cabbage and collard greens). Fun fact: Their combos for two can easily feed 2-4 people total. So enjoy those savings. Also, we tacked on kitfo, our favorite Ethiopian meat dish. Don't know if it was because they were feeling generous or if

I had an amazing meal here. The food is spectacular, the doro was is flavorful and delicious, and the portions are generous. The service is fast and very friendly. The vibes inside were also great. Good, warm lighting, music that is enjoyable but still quiet enough to have an intimate conversation. This is a great addition to the neighborhood's dining scene. Apparently they also have coffee in the mornings, so I need to try that too!

This was a top tier experience! First time ever trying Ethiopian food, and definitely won’t be the last. Our server was wonderful walking us through the popular dishes and sharing our excitement in our first taste. Food was hot and well balanced with multiple great flavors, the beer was sweet hitting the spot on a hot day, and the dessert was the perfect cherry on top to a wonderful lunch. Can’t wait to take my friend and family here!

Awaze Ethiopian Cuisine made my trip a time to remember and fall to the city of NY! The plate I ordered was a mixture of both fasting and non fasting ( vegetable, lentils, split pea with a meat in the center: KITFO and GORED GORED). They were all so tasty that made me decide to have another for a takeaways so my friends in D.C will try it. The hospitality of the service, real Ethiopian coffee and the fact that the Chef himself (Gech) checking on how the food tastes is a plus that made me want to write… This is a perfect Ethiopian dinning place with a good value and service. Thank you Gech and the Team!
