Vegetarian options: Absolutely love go here. Amazing place Awash Ethiopian restaurant in Edmonton. love go here all the time Food : 5/5

The best Ethiopian food you will find in Edmonton! yummy Food : 5/5

The food is delicious and service so respectful

Love the food, but we ve come several times when the restaurant is meant to be open (lights on, open sign on, vehicles in the parking lot but the door is locked). We don t enjoy wasting our time, so we won t be back.

After reading the great reviews we tried this place out. We had 3 different kinds of tibs and they were all fantastic. The food was very flavourful and well be back for sure! Prices were also very fair.

I like the Presentation

Good service and great food

I went here for lunch on Wednesday with my mom and we ordered the veggie combo & cha cha tibs the food was delicious service was amazing I strongly recommend it

Food was very good. This is my second visit. Would definitely recommend. Very flavorful, nice change of flavors. Not to spicy as requested, good service. Cozy atmosphere.

The food was delicious and their customer service was excellent!!! I will definitely be going back again.

Will give there again. Good food. Good presentation

What a meal - the tibs (Awash, Chicken and lamb) were delicious and flavourful. My two nieces loved Glo s braids and hugged her. I am definitely eating on my next visit to Edmonton. Kudos to the chef

The plates don t like as pictures. All the beef plates are the same and overcooked. Too bad experience. Food : 1/5

Bad experience!

Food are all the same not different at all . Basically its one plate . It was not marinated and overcooked with a hard cutting .

The beef is bad and the taste is very bad I tried different meet plate, but they weren t served as offered in the menu pics and the meet was so hard Also there was a bad taste for the rice and all plates Another thing, they are showing different plates in the menu, while they are actually the exact same

The food delicious and nice service

Delicious food i like it i eat for the first time and good service

Great spot for authentic Ethiopian food! Food portions were reasonable. I had the lamb tibs and it was delicious. Id like to try more dishes from their menu after such a great experience. The owner was there and she was very nice and answered all our questions. Will be back soon!

This was our fourth time visiting this restaurant, and as always, the food was delicious! The waitress started off the evening just fine, but as our meal was finishing up , if felt like she ghosted us! We actually ended up very frustrated. It wont stop us from going though, the food is too good, and all other visits have had great service.

It was our second time coming here and once again , it did not disappoint us! The waitress was super kind and helpful too, who wouldn t want to come back when great people are running this place!

Excellent service and delicious food! 10/10! Can t wait to try the rest of the menu! Food

Great customer service!! Glob was friendly and attentive. Food was also good, more limited menu than other Ethiopian restaurants.

I have been here multiple times and never had a bad meal.

My daughter took me here and I was not disappointed. We tried 5 different dishes and all of them were great.

Delicious food with fair price and great service to customers but the washroom needs to be clean more.

I went with my husband and daughter for dinner. Had a great experience , the food was delicious and very good customer service . We will be back pretty soon.

This was my first time eating Ethiopian food; it will not be my last! Awash Ethiopian Restaurant is located fairly centrally, ten or so minutes north of downtown, and is within easy driving distance. There isnt a parking lot but there is sufficient side-street parking with easy access to the entrance. There were four of us and we had the injera, which is Ethiopian flatbread, and five absolutely delicious entrees: Lamb Tibs, Awash veggie combo (which comes with many varied vegetable dishes), Yemisir Wot (an outstanding, fairly spicy red lentil dish), Doro Tibs (marinated chicken breast), and a sizzling beef dish, of which I cannot recall the name. Every dish was extremely flavourful, many quite (but not too) spicy, and it was difficult to choose a favourite. But ultimately, for me, it came down to either the Lamb Tibs or the Awash Veggie Combo, and perhaps the Yemisir Wot. There was enough for all four adults with some leftovers, which we were only too happy to take home. The dining experience was interesting; being used to western cuisine we were surprised then intrigued that there was no cutlery or individual plates. Instead we used the flatbread to get each bite of food. It led to a very enjoyable and fun sociable meal! My husband and I will be going again, and again, so as to try out some different dishes.

Terrific food and very friendly and welcoming. We didn t know what to order and the server s suggestions were spot on.

Service: 4.5/5 Food: 5/5 Vibe: 4.5/5 Price: 4.5/5 The food was extremely delicious and the restaurant decor gave us the experience of Africa. We especially liked the injera and veggie sampling platter. Also we loved the decoration of the restaurant. if youre looking for legit Ethiopian food thats the place! Cheers.

Great food. Really nourishing. Nice atmosphere. African music motives, corresponding colors of the interior, beautiful pictures and statuaries of African animals. The owner was friendly.

The food was delicious. We ordered several dishes to share and each was loaded with flavour. They explained the Ethiopian way of eating and suggested dishes for us to try.

Absolutely amazing. Everything was delicious! Great service and staff too, very friendly!

The best Ethiopia food and good customer service clean place love it

Amazing food! Great customer service! Highly recommend!

One of my favourite Ethnic restaurants in town! Definitely not something you can have anywhere in Edmonton

Have ordered delivery from Awash for years and also ate in person too. Lovely, simple and flavourful food every time. Vegetarian options: Lots of options with lentils and vegetables. Parking: Plenty of on street parking nearby.

Great food, great service

Amazing flavours. The food is more filling than it looks. Will definitely return.

It s amazing food and Habtamu is helpful guy! Best place to test Ethiopian food!

Youll find the typical authentic service just like home at this place. The food the best so far. Will always visit everytime I come to Edmonton. Served greatly by habtamu.

Delicious, fresh. Good experience. Recommend the jabana coffee experience, the beef tibs, and definitely the vegetable platter. Excellent will be back again.

Excellent service.

Good food good price as well very good for family

Delicious! Super nice staff. And they werent TOO busy, so we were able to stay for quite a while. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options

Great hole in the wall place for an amazing Ethiopian food experience. Staff are super warm and kind though service is slightly slow, but they make up for it in packing huge flavour punches!!

Awesome food! Great veggie options as well! And the service is great!

Love it

It was fairly empty when we arrived at 1645. We were the only customers. But the server was fantastic in helping us first time Ethiopian restaurant visitors and helped us find something we might like. She was amazing. We loved what she recommended and enjoyed every minute In this restaurant. Seemed a bit expensive but probably not. I have not been in to the city for several years, so this is probably normal. The food was excellent. I loved the bread but my wife didn t even try it. The food was not too spicy for a typical gringo palate. You should try this place. I really loved the service and the food. Typical Ethiopian customers arrived and played cards and seemed VERY comfortable in this environment. Will return for sure.

Really good food. I recommend

We really appreciate your service. We are a customer to this resturant since 2 years ago. The food was so delicious the server is so respectful and helpful lady we forgot her name but starts with G I guess. Also the restaurant is very good and clean.I hope everyone is enjoying like me and my friends. Thank you Awash Restaurant!

The quality and taste of the food was great! Definitely recommend this spot if you live or visiting Edmonton. Vegetarian options: Great selection of delicious vegetarian stews

Ive never been inside this place. But I want too send this message too the manager or whoevers in charge of letting 5-17 people gather in the parking lot at 1130 !pm every night ! I would not care so much but my window is facing the parking lot. And alllllllll I here every night is yelling, laughing , yenno. People just tryna have a good night and Im the bad guy for complaining about the noise right? Okay okay... Im sorry Im being so rude but where is the line? Why do you let people hangout in your parking lot and be LOUD passed closing time? So I send this directly too the manager or whoever happens too be reading this and is a person who participates in these nightly hangouts in the parking lot. simply PEOPLE ARE TRYNA SLEEP. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GO THE F HOME. Cause everyday I feel myself becoming more and more of an awhole that will do more too put a stop too the nightly noise.

We actually drove from Calgary to do take out. We had a cooler and took the food home and had an amazing meal for 2 days. This was seriously one of the best Ethiopian food I have had. Since Marathon closed their doors in Calgary, no Ethiopian resturants exists. I want to eat here more often! 6 hours drive for take out? . Their tibs and vegetarian options are great! You have to go here. Edmontonians are lucky!

Absoulety do not go here they have multiple broken cars the there parking lot there food is trash they scream at all hours of the night they are super disrespectful and rude do not go here this is a hang out for there friends and family not a resturant

I am new to Edmonton and google searched an Ethiopian cuisine and this restaurant came up! Soooo delicious! I tried the veggie combo and everything was delicious I will definitely be returning

Love the vibe and the food at this restaurant! My partner and I usually order the vegetarian platter with injera. This is our go-to for ethiopian food!

when Im here I feel like Im in back home the food its soo delicious smoothes music

I have been there multiple times, I love the delicacies and the original test of East African cuisine( Ethiopian) ,and vegetarian staff with flat enjera ,and am also excited with their humble service. Hopefully will be back soon

The most delicious food i have ever ate, fair price, very neat restaurant and beautiful welcoming from the owner. Hopefully Ill visit again in the near future. I also recommend others to enjoy these amazing Ethiopian cultural and modern food.

This amazing place. The best East African, Ethiopian, Oromo and Ertrean-Somalian food.

First time visiting tonight. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Service was quick and food was hot on arrival. The portions were very generous and tasted excellent. Prices were very reasonable as well.

Little gem of a restaurant nestled in the Westmount/Sherbrooke area! Took the whole fam and it was delicious.

This place has amazing food and amazing service...it s a must stop if your in the Edmonton and looking for Ethiopian food!!

Awash Ethiopian Restaurant in Edmonton Canada is the best restaurant in its foods qualities, varieties and reliable services and friendly reception. I usually enjoy this best African dish with my friends, colleagues and families.

If you are looking for amazing Ethiopian food, definitely check out Awash! Everything was really good, great portions and the flavors!!! I have had Ethiopian in a few different cities and this was the best by far! Great service and a clean space too. Worth checking out!

We drive by Awash often but have never tried until today when we were in the neighborhood and had some time. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed and casual atmosphere, my fiance described it like eating in your living room. The food was tasty, lots of leftovers for later. We will definitely be back and try the Ethiopian coffee! If you are in the area I highly suggest you try Awash Ethiopian restaurant.

Food is delicious and the customer service is fantastic and it is just an all out great restaurant. Highly recommended!

Literally the best Ethiopian restaurant in town. Chill vibe and a great place to come with your family and friends!

Hands down one of the best ethiopian restaurant in town that sells authentic and traditional food at an affordable cost.

The best Ethiopian restaurant in Edmonton

The best place for a meal either by yourself or with friends and family. Has amazing food! My favourite is the #13 it goes well with everything! The spiced tea always hits the spot.

Fantastic food and service. The experience as a whole was just phenomenal. I know nothing of Ethiopian food but I know that I loved every bit of this.

Awash Ethiopia Restaurant is the best Restaurant in Edmonton. Love it

I have never had Ethiopian food before so I did not know how healthy and delicious and filling injera bread is. There were two of us and we split two of the vegan options and loved every bite. Definitely recommend. So good.

This the best Ethiopian reaturant love the kit for Dulat

Delicious! Be sure to try the veggie combo and the cha cha tibs!

I had a tips from there its very nymy!!!!!

We had an amazing experience at Awash. The food was so flavorful and the service was so wonderful. We will be back!

Great place to go. I was a bit hesitant at first when an Ethiopian friend suggested eating here, but so glad I went. It is truly a great experience. Not only was the service great but the regulars were also very friendly. The food was fresh and the experience eating with injera was both fun and not as hard as I anticipated. But it is the coffee that makes me want to give it a 6! It was great. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Love the cha cha

The best food and customer service

Fantastic little restaurant. Very nice atmosphere. Delicious food. Highly recommend!

Amazing food! Authentic Ethiopian cuisine and absolutely stellar customer service.

Awash Ethiopian restaurant is one of my best restaurants I recommend here in Edmonton. Especially if you need Ethiopian flavour this is a right place to enjoy. Very reasonable price and feel like a home.

If you want to enjoy Ethiopian cultural food go for Awash Ethiopia restaurant. Homey ambiance and authentic cultural food. I really enjoyed the food and very reasonable price. I fully recommend Awash Ethiopian restaurant for anyone who want experience yam yam African food

Great atmosphere. Very helpful and informative waiter. Recommended his favourites for us and explained how to eat everything. After your meal I highly recommend getting the Ethiopian coffee with incense! Was great food and a great experience. Will be going back and telling friends and family.

Friend of mine introduced me to this spot and Ill definitely be back. I got #11 with a side of their rice, mango juice, and coffee it was delicious and recommend checking this place out!

Great food. Highly recommended the coffee experience after the meal.

The food was amazing, the service was 5 star and the atmosphere was welcoming!

Try the lamb!!!!!

Delicious Ethiopian food. The veggie combo injera was ten star delicious. And I m not even a vegetarian!

We joined friends at the restaurant and the service was very friendly, accommodating to our group of 8 and helpful in describing dishes. We asked for mild versions of the dishes and it was incredible. This is not just dinner, it is an experience.

Fantastic authentic dining experience. The food, service and atmosphere was top notch.

Delicious food and great value!! We got the Veggie combo and the lamb to share and let me tell you it was bomb! I also had a glass of their guava juice and it was the perfect combination Will definitely be back.

Excellent restaurant with nice people there.

Amazing food and service definitely come to this place if you enjoy flavourful food and also it s vegan and vegetarian friendly !

As soon as you open the door your mouth starts watering from all the amazing smells. The atmosphere is welcoming and cheerful. Service is pleasant. The food is fresh, reasonably priced, beautifully presented, delicious and satisfying. The promise made to my nose was 100% delivered to my tastebuds.

Excellent vegetarian options! 100% recommend the Ethiopian coffee.

It was our first Ethiopian food and delicacy experience! Food and service were both amazing, definitely a must try!

Wonderful food and friendly service evsn explained how to eat the dish if you dont know how:)

Food is so good!!! I love the vegetarian dish!

Amazing food and service! Loved the doro wat and veggie platter!!

Im re-reviewing this place as I just went back and cant express what a treat it is. Great place for sharing. If you can get some people together and order a several dishes.

The place looks very basic but the food is great. I would especially recommend the peanut soup. Both beef meals were amazing, the bread is very unique. The spicy tea is also tasty and refreshing.

Had such a great experience, our waiter gave us such a great recommendation for ordering as we were novices to Ethiopian food. Everything was extremely flavourful in all the right ways. Highly recommend, will definitely return!!!

Amazing food loved every bit of it

First time having Ethiopian food and it was DELISH. We had the veggie platter and the doro tibs and highly recommend both! even the mango juice is perfect

I highly recommend this place! This was my first time trying injera bread, or Ethiopian food in general. They had a vegan option that was healthy, delicious and surprisingly filling! Its a clean, cozy, casual restaurant and they give first-timers a nice introduction to the meal. Definitely worth checking out.

Best Ethiopian restaurant we have tried in Edmonton so far. A warm inviting atmosphere and many absolutely delicious entrees to enjoy. A 5 out of 5 from me!

Very delicious!!!

Absolutely amazing place to have authentic food! The service is great and great people to converse with. I would definitely recommend!!!

The lentils and lamb! And a bottle of Tusker beer.

Best Ethiopian Restaurant

The best Ethiopian restaurant

Come through and grab the best Ethiopian food ever.

Excellent culinary experience, everything very delicious and good service!!

This restaurant has the best Ethiopian food I have ever tried, hands down! We were quickly greeted by Limu (sorry about the spelling), this man wears many hats. He greets you at the door, takes your order and serves your food, I think hes the owner of this establishment. The restaurant wasnt busy when we got there but it quickly became busy and Limu didnt miss a beat. We ordered the Cha Cha Tibs, Doro Tibs and Shiro Wot. Ive had these items before from other Ethiopian restaurants but this version tasted better and those other restaurants were amazing as well. What my wife and I appreciated was when Limu asked us how spicy we wanted our food, I didnt realize how spicy a certain dish was. We appreciated that as we dont have a super high spice tolerance. Its this attention to detail that will have us coming back. My wife had never tried Ethiopian food and she was blown away by the presentation and how fun you can eat this food. If youve never had Ethiopian food before, please come to this restaurant; you wont leave disappointed. I give this place 2 and would highly recommend this place for all foodies. A++ restaurant! Parking: Lots of parking behind the restaurant.

Took my wife for her first time eating Ethiopian Cuisine.....we loved it! Decor was awesome and food was delicious. Cant go wrong trying this place out.

Everything is so delicious! Very worth a visit!

awfully! the food had two bugs inside and I saw how they made desserts . when we had another round of ribs they gave the meat raw! we were so kind and said nothing but I wish we did. before it was amazing now its somehow bad! might as well go to mesobna

The best ethiopian food

Great food. We tried the veggie platter and the awash tibs. They were both fantastic and the cusomer service was excelent . It all came out pretty quick. I Am definenty coming back soon

Amazing food and even better service!

Outstanding food! Best vegetarian platter around. New favourite.

A hidden gem. The food is amazing, the service is faster than large popular resurrants. The outside is lacking but the inside is a beautiful comfortable environment. Vegetarian options: The veggie and lentil platter was DELICIOUS. I love the red and green lentils in the dish and the red ones have a little spicy kick.

Absolutely delicious food. First time having Ethiopian and every dish sampled was so flavourful! Will be back, for sure!!!

Excellent restaurant, great Ethiopian experience with super flavorful dishes. These guys wont disappoint you. Every dish I tried was fantastic.

This is such a cute spot. The ambiance is great, the service friendly and the food delicious!! I think it ll be a new go-to spot for my family. Thanks for an awesome meal Awash!

The high reviews are well deserved. Our dinner was delicious! With so many different tibs dishes it was hard to pick just one, but we ll just have to come back to try some more!

Had the most wonderful time here today. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is absolutely delicious, I love Ethiopian food but this place takes the cake and it is my favourite one I have been to in Edmonton. The dishes are super flavourful and the indoor seating is very relaxing and comfortable. Definitely will be back!! Would recommend to anyone looking to try some good food! Vegetarian options: Had vegan options Dietary restrictions: Very friendly and helpful to change any ingredients

Food was very flavorful, well presented with good portion sizes. Staff were friendly and helpful. Physical space small but comfortable and visually pleasing.

Best food ever

Best food

Wow delicious

Delicious food and very friendly service, overall it was a great experience!

It was a surprise Birthday thst had been planned, and the staff went above and beyond to make it an amazing experience. The food was delicious, and the server showed those of us, that have never had Ethiopian, how to use the injera (flatbread). We will be going back.

Delicious food and wonderful to experience Ethiopian cuisine. We had the cha cha and the veggie combo. It was amazing. Honestly I cannot wait to go back. The Ethiopian coffee was incredible. Loved the laid back vibe of the place. Great place to go and just hang out with friends while enjoying deliciousness.

The best Ethiopian Ive had in years! A group of 5 ordered and made a huge platter. While servers werent particularly present, they were great when there. The food! Astounding! Had so many dishes! All tremendous and delicious and not relying on heat and spice but seasoning and flavour.

This food is fantastic. The service was great. I have been back since writing this post. Cant wait to bring others to try it

The food is excellent

Wow I was craving Ethiopian food today and so glad I chose to go with this place after reading all the great reviews! It did not disappoint! The lamb dish i got with the injera was soooo delicious and flavorful and spicy just like I asked. It was sooo satisfying and worth the long drive. The place is small and cozy with beautiful African decor. I had the whole restaurant to myself! Will definitely be back. The only issue I had in the bathroom was the toilet paper and paper towels not coming out but no big deal Update! The takeout order was a complete disappointment! First off I ordered doro wot and lamb tibs but instead of the lamb i got a veggie platter. I spoke to the owner and obviously there was a misunderstanding. I am sure I said lamb on the phone when I ordered. In the future please confirm takeout orders with the customer. I was disappointed in the veggie platter not worth $20 and doro wot came with 1 small drumstick of chicken for me and my mom to share another $20 for that and we got no meat. She wanted the lamb and was very disappointed with that small one piece of chicken. I drove 1 hour in total not happy

I was so excited to try your authentic food.My daughter wanted to treat me tonight for a special dinner that she raved a lot about it..So disappointed to say the order wasnt generous with one tiny piece of chicken , and no lamb plate that I requested and a vegetarian plate was sent instead. For $40 we should have at least a decent amount to feed two people not just 1 small piece of drumstick and the others just veggies.

The vegetarian plate and sambusa was so delicious. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be back again!

This place has fantastic vegetarian options.

My daughter and me ate here today and the food, service and price were all deserving of 5 stars. I had lamb and my girl had beef. Both were spiced right and with just enough sauce. Beef sambasas were very tasty as well. Drop in and try it out and you wont be disappointed.

Authentic Ethiopian food trust me

Amazingly delicious food, friendly and super helpful service!! coming back with the whole family!!

Delicious, delicious

Wow! Talk about a hidden gem! Stumbled on this place one evening while doing some holiday shopping, and I was blown away with flavour! We had the injera with lamb and chicken and I cannot recommend enough. Friendly and welcoming staff as well. 10/10 will return.

Some of the best food I ve ever had. The atmosphere is lovely, and the service was very fast. Such a cool experience and will definitely be bringing friends back!

Seriously some of the best food ive ever had and the interior is beautiful, we had a beautiful coffee ceremony and the incense smelt beautiful. The two owners who were in the restaurant were seriously so kind and explained everything to us, we re especially happy that the food is all halal. Thanks for the fantastic service! We ll be returning soon :)

Great food and amazing coffee. My first time eating with injera and the waiter was very helpful.

Amazing and delicious food! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Would visit again!
