Abi Ethiopian - Washington DC

The food was delicious. Service was great. I’ll recommend you come here if you want to try Ethiopian

My family ordered 6 dishes, extra injera and dessert. The portions were big and the food was flavorful, fresh and delicious. We did not end up needing the extra injera since the main dishes came with so much. The wait was a little longer than expected but the owner gave me a sambusa with sauce while I waited. He told me he’s been in business 8-9 years in the DMV, started with a food truck on the National Mall, then moved to a storefront in Maryland, and now his business has been here in DC for a year. Shewa will definitely become my family’s go-to Ethiopian food in the neighborhood!

A small hole in the wall operation. The Ethiopian fare is on par with many other Ethiopian spots in the city and is one of the best fast casual places in the area. The folks that run the place are some of the nicest people in town. I know from the outside it doesn't look like much, but give the food a chance!

I actually had never heard of this restaurant before. It was lunch time and we were famished and we googled to see if we can find an Ethiopian restaurant in the area. Shewa was only 7 minutes away! When we got there Ephrem greeted us with such warmth and sat us at our table.We looked at the menu and ordered the Fish Tibs and veggie combo and shiro, which was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Ephrem was so kind he even brought us complimentary sambusas to hold us up until our food came. the first thing we told him when we got there was how hungry we were):)The food was freshly made to order. It was delicious andthe portions were very generous.We felt so welcomed and cared for which made our dining experience even more enjoyable.We most definitely will go back, and we will bring friends and family to experience this hidden jem of a place and its delicious food.I almost forgot the deliciousComplimentary Ethiopian style spiced hot tea at the end of our meal.I wish I can give them a thousand stars.Vegetarian options: We tried shiro, gomen, alicha kik, which were all delicious

Amazing food for affordable price! get the meat combo and veggie combo for $40 and can feed 4-6 people! Brought my friend from out of town here and we loved it! Opens pretty late too ! 100% would go
