Excellent Ethiopian cooking with generous combos and warm service; a Harlem standout with a few service hiccups and spice/heat variability to note.
Awaze delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality—rich stews, perfect injera, and flavorful combos that earn consistent praise from repeat diners—paired with warm, attentive service that guides first-timers effectively. Occasional seasoning and temperature variation prevents grade A territory, though the overall execution remains competitive with the area's respected neighborhood restaurants.
One caveat: A few reports of lukewarm food or underseasoning on off nights
