Family Ethiopian Restaurant

Family doesn’t take reservations, but the two-story Ethiopian restaurant in Shaw easily accommodates large groups and will often seat you right away. The family-owned restaurant is eclectically decorated with bright yellow chairs that match the sunlight pouring through the windows overlooking 9th St. The food here is fantastic. The restaurant opened in 2020 and has made a name for itself as one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in the city, thanks in large part to huge portions (the biggest we’ve seen in the city) and seismic flavors. The succulent beef tibs, for example, are marinated with onions and peppers and the fresh, pillowy injera complements every dish.
