A small, cozy restaurant with delicious food. The server was very helpful at explaining dishes and making sure we were comfortable with the level of spice. The food was amazing and the portions very generous. Definitely will be back.

Awash is a fantastic spot for authentic Ethiopian cuisine! The injera is perfectly tangy and pairs beautifully with their rich and flavorful stews. The vegetarian platter is a standout, offering a variety of vibrant and delicious dishes. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it a great place to enjoy a communal and satisfying meal.

Service: 4.5/5 Food: 5/5 Vibe: 4.5/5 Price: 4.5/5 The food was extremely delicious and the restaurant decor gave us the experience of Africa. We especially liked the injera and veggie sampling platter. Also we loved the decoration of the restaurant. if you're looking for legit Ethiopian food that's the place! Cheers.

The food here is flavourful and you are sure to get something awesome no matter what you order. There are great vegetarian options, non spicy options, and meaty options too! I personally like their tea. The atmosphere is comfy though the TV occasionally glitches.

Very good food and very good, friendly service. Food arrived very quickly. Great value as well, very generous portions. Go when you are hungry, and be prepared to have leftovers. My wife and I made the mistake of going on a mostly full stomach for our anniversary, after a day of exploring restaurants. We recommend the Chicken and the Kitfo.

Went on an Oilers game night and although it was empty, the atmosphere was uncluttered and inviting. Waitress made sure we were comfortable and the food was delicious as it was something we had never tried before! Would recommend.
