Aside from some of the MOST delicious Ethiopian food I have ever eaten, including years perusing Adam's Morgan and rando spots in the DC area, the cost for 5 people to stuff themselves silly was unbeatable! The atmosphere is simple, not gaudy just inviting and clean. The coffee was superb! Do not forego the Ethiopian coffee if you can get it! This is the 6th or so time I've eaten there and it just gets better! Enjoy!

My Favorite Ethiopian Food Restaurant on the entire East Coast! The staff is always super friendly and helpful, the food is amazing and comes out quick. Hands down; my favorite place in MD atm. The quality of the food is amazing with prices to match without spending $100 on a dinner. This is going to be your new favorite spot; tell them TravelingEater on a bike Sent you. 😋

The food was AMAZING and the atmosphere is perfect. This was the best meal I've had in a very long time.The woman working there (whom I assume was the owner) was very sweet and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back!

My friends and I love this place! They always have delicious honey wine, and all the selections are so yummy. We particularly love the fish! In fact, we’re now doubling down on the fish dish. Every time we go in addition to a few veggies. Really nice owner and wait staff, too.

Ethiopis Restaurant in Rockville is a spot for authentic Ethiopian food. The flavors are well-balanced, and the injera is freshly made. The menu items are limited but represent Ethiopian dishes to be eaten by hand like they do in Ethiopia. There are several vegetarian options, with a variety of lentils, vegetables, and stews that are both hearty and flavorful. The service is friendly and attentive. A good choice for anyone looking to enjoy traditional Ethiopian cuisine in the area.

The food was amazing! Me and my friend finished the food in 10 minutes because it was so good.

I’m so sorry to the sweet lady that was working today because it was my first time there and I rushed my order, I ate the food a bit quick, and I think I worried her into thinking that I thought she stole my head piece even though I was just asking if she saw it. It was completely my bad, I’m so sorry!!! 😞😞😞 I got too distracted cause the food was that good…

Overall, my experience was amazing!! The environment was so beautiful, and I loved the attention to details and how it was culturally accurate. The customer service was also incredible. She made sure we were comfortable, and the food came out fairly quick considering that we came right when it opened. Don’t get me started on the food!!! That was the best food I’ve had for a long time. The tibs was DELICIOUS and I do plan on coming again. I would recommend this to anybody in the area looking to try fast service, yummy, and authentic Ethiopian food!

I got the large veggie plate because I wanted to try everything, and wow. What a great decision. I’ve never had Ethiopian food before, and this was amazinggggg. I was only in town for work, but if I could go back more frequently absolutely would.

I actually got three meals out of this- surprisingly the leftovers were a great car lunch when I pulled over to a park to sit and eat.

Parking was very easy, and the price was great for the amount and quality of food. The owner was very nice and attentive.

This has definitely inspired me to seek out Ethiopian places near my home.

Been here 2 months ago in November and loved it. But this time we visit the food was just meh. They were seasoned weirdly with some being overly sweet and some being too salty, and the beef tibs are very dry. Mostly importantly the Kitfo tastes like it’s been sitting in the fridge forever cus there’s a layer of fat congealing on the top even tho we ate it immediately after we got home. There’s a sign at the door saying they got new management so hopefully the food will come back to normal soon!

This is a nice little gem in a small food mall. First time for me enjoying food here. The lady at the front desk was super nice and fun to talk with. The atmosphere is great, and if you like the diverse food of Ethiopia, then this is a good place to enjoy 😉. There is enough parking space outside so there is no worries in that department. Bon appétit

First time trying Ethiopian food and it’s great! The server was nice and made sure everything was to our liking. There are plenty of seats during the morning and bathrooms located at the back.

My husband and I visited this restaurant about 9 months ago and we thought it was good. However, I recently took my niece, who loves Ethiopian food, for lunch last weekend and we were appalled. I ordered a vegetarian sampler and it was just ok. Just ok. However, she ordered one of the beef tibs dishes and it was hideous. Not exaggerating--the beef tasted, looked, and crunched like something that was scraped off the side of the pan after it had been baked for a couple of hours. Not kidding. IT LOOKED AND TASTED AND CRUNCHED LIKE IT HAD BEEN SCRAPED OFF THE SIDE OF A BAKING DISH. I am still mad at myself for not sending it back (my niece didn't want to make a scene because the waiter was nice). I will return to Sheba from now on.

Overall, I’d say that Ethiopis has some pretty good food and I like that it’s usually not too crowded whenever I would walk into the restaurant. Not to mention that the servers are very nice and patient.

While I wish that they offered either some cheese or yogurt to cool off my mouth if a dish is a bit hot to my liking, in general, if you’re looking for a nice starter Ethiopian restaurant, then I’d say that Ethiopis would be a good place to go to.

By the way, I highly recommend the vegetarian platters. They’re very colorful and they’re nutritious and full of flavor. Plus, you’ll be sure to have plenty of leftovers for breakfast once you leave. :)

We stopped here for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. We ordered the Chicken Stew and the Lamb stew plus several types of vegetable dishes such as diced tomatoes salad, collard greens, lentils and chick peas.

The vegetables were served in 2 big platters covered with a pancake like bread. My lamb dish was delicious, seasoned well and not spicy. My lentils and collard greens were a little spicy for my taste, chick peas were delicious and not spicy at all.

We took home our leftover foods. Both dishes cost $20.00 each plus some tips. My companion enjoyed his foods and explained that both dishes take long time to cook, about 6-8 hours to blend their spices and meats. For me, not being a fan of spicy foods, I just ate the mild lamb stew and chick peas.

Come and try their dishes if you like spicy Ethiopian foods!
