The best Ethiopian food I've had outside of Ethiopia! The Kitfo is absolutely authentic and the service is wonderful. A true gem in Silver Spring.

We ordered catering for our wedding and it was incredible. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Highly recommend their Premium Package!

Sheger Spring Cafe feels like home. The veggie platter during fasting season is exceptional — so many flavors in one plate. The injera is perfectly sour and spongy.

Great food and friendly staff. The Tibs were perfectly seasoned and the portions are generous. Only wish they were open a bit later on weekdays. Will definitely be back!

The Doro Wot here is the real deal! Rich, spicy, and perfectly cooked. The coffee ceremony after dinner was such a lovely touch. This place is a treasure.
