Awash Ethiopian Uws - New York

The Special Kitfo is absolutely AMAZING! I already enjoy their regular kitfo, but the Special Kitfo is a whole level above, thanks to the addition of jalapeños and onions. I do wish there were options to select my vegetable sides, but honestly, given how delicious the kitfo is, the sides are hardly a concern.

The food is consistently tasty, expertly prepared, and the flavors are incredible! They always deliver!

The food was decent, but the service left much to be desired. We were seated and then left waiting for over 20 minutes without anyone checking on us, refilling our water, or taking our orders. Finally, we managed to get a waiter's attention for some water, but then had to wait another 10 minutes just to place our order. When our food arrived, they had forgotten the spicy sauce we requested and initially brought us the wrong sauce when we asked for it. The restaurant was about 70-80% full, so it wasn't overly crowded.

Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend ordering both the veggie platter and the meat platter to share—you won’t regret it! The beef tibs, collard greens, lentils, cabbage, and beets are absolutely out of this world. I really love the food here. The tenderness of the tibs can be a bit inconsistent; sometimes they are incredibly tender, while other times they can be a bit tough. I guess every kitchen has its off days, but overall, I really recommend this restaurant. It's also quite affordable for NYC, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

One of my favorite places in the city! If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, this restaurant is a must-visit—the veggie combo is amazing. The ambiance is really charming, with lovely lighting throughout.
