Uptown Ethiopian Fusion Cuisine

This seems to be a local Ethiopian eatery where a lot of Ethiopians come to socialize. It was amazing sitting and watching them interact with each other as the come and go like family. I basically had a Vegetarian meal with injera and a samosa. The food was well seasoned and great as it should be cooked by Ethiopians. My server was very nice and attentive. I would definitely go back!!!

Great lamb, great injera, great flavor, great service, and great prices. There's not much else you can say about this lowkey Ethiopian joint, it's just great. Don't come here if you are against being treated with warmth and kindness, or you don't like quick service, or if you don't want your belly to be full with a delicious and filling meal.

Best Ethiopian food in the US. I sat at the bar and a regular patron ordered food for me. I ate spicy lamb, with sides of red and yellow lentils, washed down with an Ethiopian beer. If I lived in DC I’d eat there weekly.

So good. We didn’t know what to order so when the owner came by to say hi and see how we were doing, we told him this was out first time to eat Ethiopian. He took our menus and said he would take care of us. We trusted him and were not disappointed.

This is a fantastic little hidden gem on 7th St NW that serves delicious Ethiopian cuisine! The owner, Taye, has created a spotless restaurant that used to operate in Arlington. After my gym workouts, I opt for vegetarian meals, and GLO consistently provides a delightful to-go box that includes traditional bread, along with plastic utensils and napkins. One time, I brought my Nigerian brother-in-law, who was visiting from Dallas, and he thoroughly enjoyed the authentic African flavors! The lentils, potatoes, and other vegetables are incredibly flavorful and come in generous portions, making it great value for your money. The waitstaff are charmingly sweet, always friendly with smiles, and they patiently help you navigate the menu. There are large-screen TVs that showcase various sports and entertainment from around the globe. The dining area is a bit dimly lit, so it's best to sit at the window table, which overlooks the bustling sidewalk. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to experience East African cuisine for the first time!
