Ethiopian Restaurants near Burtonsville, MD

“This was my first time here. I came to celebrate a friends birthday. It’s super cute and quaint. The atmosphere is clean and lovely. Very inviting. Staff is very friendly. The food looks like a little but trust me if you’re starving like I was it’s more than enough. The mango juice was fresh and the injera was amazing!!! I do prefer my beets to be cubed and cold rather than cooked but that’s justes personal preference. Other than that, I will certainly be returning to try the ceremonial coffee. We were able to see this demonstrated for the table next to us!!! Thank you for wonderful service.“

“Some of the best Ethiopian food I've had! The owner is so sweet and took such great care of us. Highly recommend the samosas, lamb, veggie combo with injera. Finish the meal off with traditional Ethiopian coffee you'll be so happy and satisfied. 10/10 would recommend. I'll be coming back the next time I'm in the DC/Silver Spring area!“

“I live in the neighborhood and once in a while when I want to just have a super chill, super yummy, super special experience I rack my brain to think of where to go? So many options but I always come back here. Like a warm, wholesome spongy Injera with a comfy lounge and an outdoor area to just relax and be. ❤️“

“My husband and I drove from New York seeking to purchase some Ethiopian spices and other things that we just can't find where we live. We were very pleased to find Zene's! We found everything that our home needed from spices, incense, clothing, wine, and music! We even had a really delicious meal in Zene's restaurant. Thank you Zene for helping me to make yene habesha fikir happy.“

“New Coffee Shop & Bakery in Columbia - if you're looking for a new quiet haunt to grab a quick cup of fresh ground coffee and a sweet treat, please consider stopping at Rehoboth Ethiopian Cafe and Market off of Snowden River in the Columbia Marketplace (the one with the clocktower). The service was very friendly, all of the spices and fresh coffees smell amazing when you come through the door, and they have Wi-Fi and little tables so you can sit a spell. Highly recommend!“

“I have been eaten at many Ethiopian restaurants around America and Europe and enjoyed them all but Enebla, to my pallet, is better than any. The decor is not “fancy” but the atmosphere is like eating at there home. Fantastic food!Vegetarian options: DeliciousKid-friendliness: The kids who were eating at another table clearly enjoyed. It’s not like what most American children are used to but, with an open mind, they might open their minds ?“

“Really good food and friendly service, both indoor and cute outdoor seating with umbrellas. Parking garage across the street, which is all you can ask for in Silver Spring. One entree is probably enough for two light eaters, especially if you also get an order of sambusas“

“Delicious food, good music playing in the background and prices are comparable. The whole restaurant only had one waitress plus the bartender. She was very friendly but had to wait a while for our drinks and refills.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options.“

“An exceptionally delicious experience, and considering DC inflation, comfortably and generously priced. Entrees were delightful and incredibly flavorful, but what sealed the deal was the baklava, which I would get again and again - I thought I would pack some of it up, but I polished the plate instead.Exemplary, would recommend to anyone in the area.“

“My sister and I enjoyed a wonderful authentic meal at Melekete Restaurant. The waitresses were very friendly with beautiful smiles and they helped us pronounce the names of the entrees. The atmosphere was very cozy and the light jazz complements the setting. At the end of the dinner, we were both surprised when the waitress brought a complimentary slice of strawberry shortcake for my sister and then the whole restaurant lit up with the “Happy Birthday to Ya” song by Stevie Wonder. It was an unforgettable evening. Thank you for a job well done, Melekete Restaurant! We will come back to see you soon!“

“Enjoyed a great dinner at Beteseb Restaurant when we came into town for the funeral of a dear Ethiopian friend. The food was excellent and the owner/chef and her brother (who was our server) were very kind, helpful, and welcoming. I highly highly recommend this place, especially for their kitfo!“

I appreciate their positivity, courtesy and how respectful they are in providing service- a great example of wonderful Ethiopian culture.Thank you and I wish the whole family good health and success. <3“

“Zemen market has quickly become my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the area. The beef tibs with a veggie combo were simply fantastic and now I can't wait to explore the menu some more. Everything was cooked perfectly with big, delicious flavors! Even with the favorites of Tom Sietsema down the road I would chose Zemen 10 out of 10 times. Please do yourself a favor and get your next dinner here. I am so happy I found this place!“
