Best Ethiopian food. Very nice service, called to place order in advance and food was ready. Injera was unlimited and very good. Highly recommend
Wow! What a cool spot I'm glad I found. Great latte and had the cookies from the bakery. They are fresh and delicious. Great vibe.
Came here and enjoyed the food. It was an ah-mazing place. The people were so kind. We asked what they recommended and it was delicious. I defiantly would offer this for anybody looking for affordable and super yummy Ethiopian food.
Love Dama so much. Their vegan/tsom food is perfection. I don't care too much for shiro but there's makes me want it everyday. They have many vegan desserts, too!
I love coming here for the meat and veggie special. I could eat it every day for a month! The way the parking lot is set up can make it a little difficult to park but if you go during non-peak hours you should have no problem.
Whenever I'm in the DMV I make sure to stop by Dama. I really like the vibe of the restaurant/coffee shop. It's super casual and has authentic Ethiopian food. Whether you are a vegetarian, vegan, or meat eater Dama has something for you. It also has a wide variety of pastries to choose from. The staff can recommend what sells best.
My first time getting Ethiopian food and I was not disappointed. Really good food and very hospitable. Would 100% come back and telling friends to try this.
I love this place. Parking can be tight, but worth it. Get the awaze tibs and veggie platter. Haven't tried the desserts, but everything looks delicious. Will always be a neighborhood favorite spot!
What a treat. Food was authentic, delicious. Takeout on a Friday night didn't take more than 20 minutes. Also easy to navigate from an allergies perspective: no nuts in the food and eggs are only used in the chicken. We ordered the veggie combo, kitfo, and awaze tibs for three which left us enough for leftovers!
