About

Awash serves Ethiopian stews with injera from a dining area tucked inside an Ethiopian market; the vegan veggie combo brings lentils, split peas, chickpea shiro, cabbage, and collard greens together family-style. It’s a casual, unconventional setting, and diners praise the owner’s guidance on dishes and spice levels, though service can be uneven and one reviewer found the pricing unclear.
