Shalla Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar

I came from Europe and stopped by this Ethiopian restaurant in the heart of Silver Spring. The food was very good and tasted authentic, just like back home in Ethiopia. The atmosphere is warm and really gives you the feeling of being back home. The staff and the owner were respectful and kind, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend this place if you want good Ethiopian food. 🥰

The food here is absolutely amazing, and the restaurant itself is wonderful. I’ve been a customer for quite a long time, and the quality of the food has always been excellent. However, I often face issues with the service. The servers are frequently hard to get attention from, and at times it feels like some are not very willing to serve customers, which is not good for such a great restaurant. I do want to specifically mention the waitress listed on my receipt as Hanna 2 — she provided outstanding service and was clearly the one serving almost everybody. She was attentive, professional, and made a big difference in our experience. If the owners read this, I kindly suggest improving overall service standards and supporting the waitstaff to match the quality of the food. With better cons

This place is money. An absolute W of a restaurant and bar. The live music is incredibly entertaining as well as interactive. The crowd and atmosphere are so welcoming. The food is so fresh and made with love. The hospitality is intoxicating. Talk about an amazing experience and one hell of a Saturday night.

This restaurant has a completely different ambiance than the other Ethiopian restaurants in downtown Silver Spring. Its very dark with a lot of TVs and a prominent bar. There are a lot of waitresses and the service is good. The meat dishes are very good. Its the best Ethiopian restaurant in the area to drink beer, eat meat dishes, and watch the game. I wouldn't come here expecting a family environment though.

I have been known this reaturant for over four years. It is an establishment that is committed to cleanliness and efficiency. Food and drinks are exceedingly neat. They should be very encouraged in live music. Finally, it is an organization that is providing services in a disciplined manner without racism , hatred, or enmity It is a commendable organization. I want to appriciate the owners and managers of this business with all employee. And I want to send a message to Montgomery County MD, to give more motivation to businesses like this
