Ma'Ede Ethiopian Market and Cafe

This place is closed. Walked by here a couple times on various days just to see if it's open and it's not. The store sign is there but the curtains are down in the windows and no one answers the phone. There's no note saying when they are going to rel-open or not.

I have always wanted to try Ethiopian food, so finding this place in my neighborhood was a lucky day. The restaurant is small, but it aids in making the experience more cozy! I love that you can buy some groceries here too. The food was well done and a great introduction to Ethiopian cuisine.

Great Ethiopian food in my neighborhood! The service is also great. I hope they open soon. I would really miss this place.

Absolutely incredible. This place is such a gem. Service is fantastic, portions are absolutely insane, and the atmosphere is quite cozy. It is a family style place, so be prepared to be cozy with other patrons. The food is so authentic and rivals any Ethiopian place worth their salt in DC/Virginia. Best Kitfo I've ever had in my life, perfectly spiced and the collards it comes with are incredible. Sambuca is the best I've ever had too.

You should go. If you're looking into MA'EDE, just go. The sampler platter was a delight to look at and enjoy. The presentation makes it feel adventurous and the flavors of the different dishes was at once familiar and new. Yellow lentils, red beans, sour and soft injeera, buttery rich cabbage and earthy and hearty greens. A flavor to please everyone. I visited from out of town and am so happy I found this gem. Please go!!

Delicious. Small cozy friendly place. Owner took the time to teach me how to make her amazing herbal tea. Had three glasses.This is a grocery store too.

Ma'ede is a cute little cafe in Pigtown. It smells amazing as soon as you walk in the door. The food was delicious and at really great prices. If you've never tried Ethiopian food, this is a great place to start. If you have had it, you won't be disappointed! I highly recommend it for lunch or dinner. I think they may do brunch as well. They also sell spices, injera, and decorative dinnerware and service pieces.

Great food and wonderful service- best kept secret in Pigstown. My Sons favorite restaurant where he can eat without worrying about his many food allergies.

Great tasting food, perfect portion size, friendly service, nice atmosphere, well priced. I will definitely visit again. This is an Ethiopian restaurant worth visiting!!!

My girlfriend and I came here to try Ethiopian food for the first time. We were served by the owner, who was lovely, and took her up on her recommendations. The food was delicious, flavorful and satisfying. We will be back.
