Awash Ethiopian Restaurant

The food was always excellent, very delicious and huge portions. The injera here is the best in San Diego and the tibs are off the charts delicious. The prices are super reasonable. Our favorite Ethiopian restaurant in San Diego but also arguably one of the best. Walking through the market to the restaurant in the back was our favorite. We moved and we will miss them!!

Great food! Amazing family run service! Great atmosphere! What more can you ask for? Highly recommend to anyone!

First time eating Ethiopian food! The owner is very nice like other reviewers have said. Idk how this compares to other Ethiopian food but I got the Meat Combo as recommended; It's great with its own distinct flavor, and the restaurant has its own distinct smell. Make sure you remember to bring either an empty stomach or multiple stomachs, because I went alone and had eaten breakfast and got full way too fast. And if you just happen to need beer, ingredients, oil for your car, detergent, or an Ethiopian Bible (and other Ethiopian literature), this place has you covered. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian (I believe it's Vegan too) Ethiopian cuisine has been developed over the millennia as fasting food according to their Orthodox Christian faith. While I did not try it this time, they have many options to choose from.

Wouldn’t recommend. Okay Ethiopian food and definitely overpriced

My favorite Ethiopia food in town!

Best Ethiopian Restaurant in San Diego in my opinion. The veggie combo and Doro wut never fails

The food is amazing. I've had Ethiopian food all over the US, including family meals with friends. This place did not fail at all. They have two types of injera, and I got the "darker" one with more tiff. It was awesome. The meat was very fresh, and the vegetarian plate looked awesome as but usually does. Service: it's a mom and pop type operation and all the good that comes with that. You get the typical warm personal attention as many Ethiopian restaurants, as if you're at their home and dining table. Atmosphere: its also a store in the other half. It's not going to win any Michelin stars anytime soon but I felt at home there as any of my favorite restaurants. Lunch was fast and friendly. I hope to be back.

We’ve tried lots of Ethiopian food with success but unfortunately this fell short. The spare ribs were so burnt it was hard to eat them. The miser wot and sambusa filling weren’t fresh either, tasted as though they’ve been reheated for days. Aside from this it took 30 mins to have order taken and another 50 mins to finally receive the food. The veggie combo wasnt bad. All in all for $90 not sure it was worth it.
