Awash Ethiopian Restaurant

The kitchen creates winners and the staff makes winners feel welcome. Their personnel maintain positive attitudes. I came upon this nice restaurant through Yelp. The cooking stays impressive and the environment is carefully created. This restaurant has my support in its journey.

We went there on a Saturday evening and surprisingly got a good table as the restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in (about 6 pm for dinner). The reason i gave only 3 stars is that they didn't have high chairs - I really wish restaurants who do not want kids to come to their location should just write that on their website. My kid is very well mannered and we love trying new foods with him - he is 18 months old so he cannot sit on a regular chair (and they only have those metallic chairs no sofa or cushioned seats). I wanted to just leave but then just waited back for the food. - the food is quite nice. The servers were warm and nice - but everything was pretty delayed (though that's okay given it was a Sat eve). We left by 7- 7:15 pm

Good service and good food! Highly recommended!

Great service, amazing food

Nice overall, can be randomly slow, and sometimes I feel like the injera was made a while ago, but not a bad Ethiopian option

Long time I don’t have Ethiopian food but I found this place and the food was good. I recommend to try

Food is so flavorful and customer service is attentive.

It's taken me a few months to do this review but I wasn't going to let this slide. On June 25, 2024, we entered this restaurant in the East Village of Manhattan (located at 338 East 6th Street) it was empty at that moment. When we ordered we were the only ones at the restaurant. Later others arrived and were served before us, over and over again. We waited about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get our food and once we got it we were very disappointed - little food and a lot of cold Ethiopian bread (I think it's called Teff Injera). When we asked for our bill the waitress brought it to us with a 20% tip already included. I'm sure she knew we were not happy! We were so upset we were only going to tip 18% even if it wasn't earned. Mined you, we were only five! In Manhattan automatic tips should only be done for a party of six or more! I will never again dine there.

Amazing!!

Love the food. Great brunch with my dear friends 🧡 Cozy
