Awash Ethiopian - Chicago

The service was exceptional – the staff were incredibly warm and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We ordered coffee, which was the best we've ever had (move over, Starbucks!), alongside honey wine that was equally impressive. We also indulged in the vegetable platter for two, which came with plenty of injera. Every dish was superior to what we've tasted at other Ethiopian restaurants across multiple states. Awash truly made our trip memorable, and I wish there were a location in Huntsville, AL, since we don't have any Ethiopian restaurants back home. It's always a treat to find one when traveling, but none we've visited can compare to Awash! If I lived here, I would be a regular customer. Thank you for the incredible food and welcoming atmosphere – our experience for our first time in Chicago was fantastic!

The atmosphere is pleasant. The food was okay. I was not too fond of the sour taste of the injera. The Chicken Sambusa was great. I would recommend trying the sambusas. We also ordered the veggie combo and doro wat. Some of the veggie options were really good. The doro wat was okay. The amount of meat was less compared to the price.

Enjoyed lunch with friends today at Awash! We shared the delicious Vegetarian Platter. Everything was so flavorful, great variety, many different spices to enjoy!! I really wish I tried the samosa and should have ordered the sweet peas to go!!! Beautiful, big room, pleasant, calm decor. The service was kind and observant! Love that this is woman owned! I will definitely be back!!

Beware if you decide to leave and eat somewhere else and pay for their inconvenience but leave your car parked they will tow it immediately
