Awash Ethiopian Restaurant

These were so amazing! I was on the hunt to find Sambusas since an employee brought them to work form a potluck but I wasn't able to try one since they were all eaten! The owner who served me was so sweet. It was probably about 45 mins before closing and she was cleaning up her shop. She greeted me with open arms and asked me what I would like to eat. I ordered 3 sambusas and she gave me an extra one just because. These veggie sambusas were so fresh and flavorful. The flavors were unreal. I'm definitely coming back to this place for a sit down meal. I believe it's all vegetarian, but it was damn good! The restaurant is tiny inside. This place could be a hole in a wall date spot if she changes the lighting to something dimmer. I would come here again.

The food is 5 stars... some of the best Ethiopian food I've had in a while. The space has limited seating. This restaurant is next to a gas station that was shut down and the inside of the restaurant is a bit questionable and could use a decent scrubbing. My suggestion- take your meal to go ... and if you decide to eat there- either way the food is top notch!! The owner is also the chef and is very polite.

This is my second time coming to awash Ethiopian restaurant and I get the awash special which is delicious. The 2 stars does not come from the food, it's the customer service. Each time my boyfriend and I have gotten food there, something is missing. This time it was the greens and potatoes and when brought to the owners attention, she has a attitude. All together two meals were $41 and the sarcasm and lack of concern that the owner displays is enough for me to never return to this establishment even though the food is good.

Very good vegan food, love the spices and the taste, but I would suggest using healthier oils, as I really felt it the next day. Also, please consider some good mood lighting, the fluorescent lights over head are not very atmospheric.

I love a good local ethnic eat and this place does not disappoint. Service was amazing the girl that was running the place was so sweet and so hard working and honestly she does an amazing job! The Tibs were amazing so succulent and tasty and the two boiled eggs just amplified it. I usually don't care for boiled eggs too much but these were just so savory and a great added texture to the dish.If you haven't tried Ethiopian food you're missing out! Each dish is such a comfort to eat and the flavors are so rich and different from other cuisines. If you've ever had southern Indian food they have very similar spice profiles. I highly recommend getting the awash plate so you get a little of everything. There's ample parking in the front and side of the building and the inside is so cute and intimate. It's a great place to eat with friends and have great conversations! I can't wait to come back and try more!

Fabulous Ethiopian - if I could only have one type of food for the rest of my life, this would be it!! I've eaten Ethiopian everywhere in the States and this was bomb! We got the meatless plate. It was lower sodium (for restaurant food) and very flavorful. I feel like restaurants just pile on the salt to make up for flavor. Not here! I loved it. I would definitely come back. It's definitely hole in the wall. But it just added to its charm.

Very good food. A little more expensive than expected, but not crazy. Authentic. Probably only 5 or 6 tables. AC not keeping up with Nashville summer heat. Friendly lady working.

Used Yelp to find a restaurant my first night in Nashville for work. Wow! Awash did not disappoint. One lovely lady in this tiny restaurant cooking up delicious food! She said she's been here 12 years. I had the veggie platter and rolled out I was so full.

Love love love please go try. Little hole in the wall with the best Ethiopian food. I'm coming from Los Angeles where Ethiopian food is everywhere and to find this gem in Nashville I'm so happy. I moved to Huntsville and I drive up 1.5 hours just to eat here

Delicious, Authentic Ethiopian food. I frequently come here and get the Awash special.
