Beloved Edgewater staple for flavorful Ethiopian combo platters and welcoming service, with great vegetarian options; expect auto-gratuity for large groups and occasional inconsistency on takeout.
Ethiopian Diamond delivers strong food quality with authentic, well-executed traditional cooking that earns consistent praise for veggie and meat samplers.

One caveat: Some delivery/takeout complaints: dry meats, bone shards in dorowat, and missing dessert accompaniments (isolated but notable)
