Zene's Ethiopian Restaurant & Bar

I had one of the best dining experiences ever at Zene’s Restaurant & Bar! The customer service was absolutely amazing — the owner is incredibly welcoming, cheerful, and always smiling. She personally came over to ask how my food was and did the same for other customers, making sure everyone was enjoying their time. The food itself was outstanding — full of flavor, beautifully presented, and the portions are huge (definitely the biggest I’ve seen in Maryland!). The restaurant is clean, including the restroom, and the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. If you’re anywhere near Silver Spring or Maryland in general, you definitely need to check this place out. I’m very satisfied and will 100% be coming back!

Incredible experience! The food was delicious and authentic. The service was beyond. The atmosphere was relaxing, clean and the price was just right!! We will be back Update: Went back two weeks later—total game-changer! Met the owner Zene who was super friendly, and our server Selam was Amazing.

Zenes Restaurant in Silver Spring is an absolute gem. Every dish we ordered tasted incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. The shiro especially was outstanding: rich, perfectly seasoned, and comforting in that way only really good home cooking can be. You can taste the quality in every bite. I have been coming to Zenes for years, and it has become one of those rare places I always look forward to returning to. The consistency of the food, the warmth of the welcome, and the feeling of being genuinely cared for keep bringing me back again and again. It is the kind of restaurant you recommend to friends without hesitation, knowing they will be in good hands. What truly makes this place special, though, is Zene herself.
