Tigi's Ethiopian - Ellicott City

This charming little restaurant offers a friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and affordable prices. While the decor is minimal and the chilly drafts can be a bit bothersome on cold days, the warm hospitality and reasonable prices quickly make you forget about the cold. My friend and I enjoyed lunch here, ordering two veggie sambusas and a four-item vegan combo for just $16—an excellent value for an Ethiopian meal in my opinion. Our server mentioned that the spices had been adjusted for American palates, so we plan to ask for an authentic spicier version next time. Everything was fresh, the injera was tasty and plentiful, and the service was impressively quick—some of the fastest I've experienced at an Ethiopian restaurant. Notably, they even offered tofu, which I hadn’t seen on an Ethiopian menu before.

Absolutely amazing food! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The portion sizes are generous, and the meals always come out hot and fresh. Everything tastes homemade. I’ve visited this place at least a dozen times, and it has consistently delivered great experiences!

Great experience! The restaurant is run by a lovely family. I will definitely come back!

Great food and friendly atmosphere in the otherwise monotonous and uninspiring Columbia food scene. The food was fresh and had a home-cooked quality. A fresh healthy alternative for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Give me a Tigi's over a chain-restaurant anyday.

The service was great, food was delicious! I've had Ethiopian food before at a different restaurant and didn't like it, but this restaurant made me glad I tried Ethiopian cuisine again.
