I've been to dozens of Ethiopian restaurants in the DMV, Balagger is one of the best you will find. They serve you frosty ice cold glasses, with delicious fresh draft beer. All the beef Tips are fantastic, especially the Zil & Awaze. The fried fish is fantastic. The vibe is great, and the service is friendly and first class. The music is great, and the restaurant is extremely clean and inviting. I highly recommend Balagger, and my compliments to the owner and the chefs of this wonderful restaurant!

You are a thief, don't take it or leave it without receiving it. Let me tell you what happened to me. I ordered fish from a restaurant, gave a tip, and left. Next day, when I checked my bank, I found that they charged twice the amount I paid and they are garbage. Don't do the work that is being thrown at you and they will punish you with money. I will talk to those I know, whether it rains gold or not, and I will report your case on the social media.
