Customer Reviews
The food was really good. Just fyi there is a $10 plate share (if you want to split an entree with someone) which I know very few restaurants do but I wish it wasn’t done here especially since Ethiopian cuisine is not ubiquitous so some people are trying for the first time, like me and may not be comfortable having an entire meal and would rather share. But I won’t take away stars for this since they likely have a business-wise reason. Besides that, the food was really good glad I got a chance to try.
Best Ethiopian restaurant!! Food is always delicious, service is great. Highly recommend. Menu could be overwhelming if not use to Ethiopian food, but the staff will help you based on your likes. Everyone we ever took here loved it.
I ordered the veggie combo for 2; the food was good. I was not a fan of the plating. Instead of each item placed on the plate twice (one for each person) it was 1 large serving of each item. The honey wine is served in a traditional berele which I liked, but I did not like the wine at all. Tasted house-made and under fermented. I recommend if you’re into liquid sugar. They played Spanish music in the Ethiopian restaurant 🙄 The waitress either checked too frequently or barely, no in between. This is the worst ethiopian spot I’ve ever been to, but it’s decent for take-out/uber eats. Ideas for improvement: Better plating Actual East African staff Training wait-staff to be appropriately attentive (do they have clean napkins?) Giving wet-wipes with the check (customary with finger-food din
Have gone for a variety of events: catching up with friends, family, dates, and take out. Ethiopian food is simply delicious and Dashen always gets it right. Vegans and vegetarians can definitely eat here comfortably. I have gone here since 2020 and they were more affordable then. There is a fee to share plates which I believe is a newer practice for them. Not a fan of it.
Absolutely wonderful! This was our first time experiencing Ethiopian food, and we all loved it! We ordered the entrée that serves 4 people, which were 9 vegetarian dishes for a reasonable price. We had asked the waitress and she gave us great suggestions and we loved everything! We will definitely be going there often!
