Makeda Ethiopian Restaurant

I placed an order through DoorDash from Makeda Ethiopian Restaurant, and it was a terrible experience. I ordered the Makeda Tibs, and it was honestly the worst-tasting meal I have ever had. The flavors were completely off, and the quality was extremely poor. I would strongly advise anyone against ordering from here. It was a total waste of money, and I definitely won't be ordering from them again.

my experience at Makeda Ethiopian restaurant in Alexandria was genuinely disappointing from start to finish. Atmosphere & Service: The moment we walked in, the energy felt unwelcoming. No smiles, no “welcome,” no friendliness just a blunt “how many people?” before being sat. People were staring, the atmosphere felt rude, and there was no warmth at all. Our server had earbuds in and looked like she couldn’t care less about us being there. The attitudes overall were terrible and made the whole environment uncomfortable. Food: I ordered the Doro Wot expecting a proper portion for the $20 price, especially since the menu mentioned $20–$30 dishes. What I got was disappointing: one very small chicken leg and one boiled egg that’s it. For that price, it’s absolutely not worth it. We also ordere

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rozina went above and beyond with her service — so kind, attentive, and welcoming. The vegan and vegetarian options were some of the best I’ve ever had, full of flavor and creativity. And the fish dulet? Absolutely top-notch — fresh, perfectly spiced, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who appreciates great service and delicious food!

We mourned the loss of our neighborhood Ethiopian restaurant, so were happy to get a recommendation to try Makeda. It did not disappoint. An excellent dinner an we will definitely be back.
