Langano Ethiopian Restaurant

The food was amazing! I got a vegetable combo and the golden tibs. This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was extremely flavorful. The service was phenomenal. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant made it very authentic. The lighting was dim but the decor and style made it feel genuine.There's an Ethiopian restaurant next door with white table cloths and seems a lot fancier than Langano. I've never been to the other restaurant but by the looks, I would choose Langano any day because of the real authentic feel.

Langano was the first Ethiopian restaurant I went to in Silver Spring as I joined a few friends several years ago (back when I lived in DC interning for a summer), using a restaurant.com coupon. I remember the food being excellent and the service slow but it was on a busy Sunday evening. One of our best friends who is now sadly gone took me and my fiancé back here a few times in recent years and the food was still great (perhaps better than before) and service has definitely improved. After trying most of the places, this became his favorite and one of ours. My father came in late this past Thursday night and my fiancé and I came back with him as it is now open past midnight again, and among only a couple places that are. It was quite busy (being the the night before Juneteenth), yet our server was very prompt and attentive. We were very impressed with what ordered Yebeg Lega Tibs (one of my late friends favorite), Yebeg Girogiro (my personal favorite), and Fish Dulet. All the food was excellent as always. They even took a restaurant.com coupon when the platform rarely has been used since the pandemic started which was great. I think both Langano and Debab are now our top two favorites, followed by Beteseb. We'll definitely be back and are grateful for Langano and the many other excellent Ethiopian restaurants in our neighborhood.

We stopped in for lunch today and had a great meal! The restaurant was almost empty, so plenty of booths available. The restaurant itself is nice- coffered ceilings, huge stocked bar... it's clearly a nightclub at night... but a nice one. The food was really good. We got beef tibs, and it was so crispy and flavorful. We also got the veggie platter with six different vegetable dishes. My favorites were the lentils, and the potatoes and green beans... but honestly they were all great. These two dishes easily fed me and my husband, and while we didn't finish everything, we were totally full and very happy with our meal.The kitchen was fast and our server was friendly and efficient. We will definitely come back!

I don't recommend ordering this via Uber eats. I was hoping the sides/mini dishes would be in a different container than the injera. It wasn't at all presentable. The food still tasted great but the experience is so much better in person. I had ordered the meat and vegetable platter.

Langano is one of a few Ethiopian restaurants on the Georgia ave. strip that has a variety of choices. Have been here a couple of times for takeout.For dining, you have a mix of low & high top tables as well a bar area with a TV.We ordered the veggie combo & Special Kitfo (usually order the regular). The two types of seasoned Ayeb (cottage cheese) take it to the next level! Also served with Kocho (fermented bread). Their Kitfo is also excellent-right amount of seasonings/spices although a little heavy on that decadent butter.Veggie combo was a nice complement with a good variety of items from Shiro, Messir, greens & beets to name a few.The ladies at the bar were friendly & offered coffee/tea while I waited for my order. One of the best for Eti food in the area!

This place is my jam! I literally crave it every other day. I'm a pescatarian so I didn't think I would enjoy Ethiopian food like others who get the beef tips but man was I wrong. I've been to the other Ethiopian spot on this strip but this was the winner for me. Their Gulash fish with rice paired with the veggie combo is undefeated. The servers are nice all and Ethiopian. They do take some time to make the food but it's okay to me cause the ingredients are fresh and the food is delicious. If your getting take out call ahead of time. You'll be waiting 30 minutes even if the place is empty. I see people drinking here all the time seems like a spot for regulars. I haven't had a drink her but seems good to the regulars. I 100% recommend this place.

Gurage kitfo. Every Ethiopian restaurant has Kitfo but Kitfo comes from the gurage people. Langano has top notch gurage Kitfo and amazing tibs gaslight tibs Godin Tibs the girgiro the Kitfo you should get is Dengesat. Comes with spiced ayib and gomen (Ethiopian cottage cheese and spinach you will love it even if your not a fan of veggies or cottage cheese.

My friend and I came here on a Saturday night and were immediately greeted at the door. The host sat us at a table and took our order. We ordered vegetarian sambusas, a vegetarian platter and the fried fish to share. Everything was flavored to perfection. The food was super good and super fresh! Also everyone seemed to work as a team. Various waiters would come to our table to check on us and see if we needed anything. I really appreciate the good service we received here and I plan to return.

Owner is cheap, uses only two waitress and doesn't want to hire more help. Because of that food comes one hour after ordering.

Food comes 1 hour after ordering. Only two waitresses and both works in the bar and restaurant. Very bad services, food taste nasty after waiting 1 hour, and they are not even acknowledge their mistakes. Horrible service will never comeback and never recommand to anybody to go there.
