Rohobot Ethiopian Restaurant

Delicious - the veggie plate feels like 10 pounds. It's family owned and operated so what more could you really want. The man running the shop on that day was so kind and laughed when he gave me the plate - I really didn't expect the plate to have so much weight lolAmbiance is so so - but it feels like a safe haven for anyone who eats a good meal and a quiet moment enjoying Ethiopian solo or with friends or family. I would go back for sure! *will update with picture on my next visit*

Ordered a veggie combo for delivery, came with a generous portion size including an ample amount of extra njera. All items were great, my favorite was the spicy lentils but definitely not for those who can't tolerate spice. Beets, spinach and yellow lentils were more mild, and the dishes all complemented each other well in terms of flavor and taste. A tad salty for me and felt bloated afterwards, if you're OK with higher sodium content I'd take it up from 4 stars to 5...

While Silver Spring has several Ethiopian restaurants, I decided to try here for dinner after reading several reviews about good pick-up orders. As the restaurant was quiet with a simple outdoor sign, I a little bit wondered whether this was the right place or opening. Anyway, my order was ready on time and still warm when eating it home. We got a veggie and beef combo, and the stews and toppings were wrapped with a lot of injera. The flavors of each item were pretty solid. The yellow peas and spicy lentils had great texture and went well with injera. It was my first time trying injera, which looked like spongy crape and tasted like sour bread. Tomato salad and collard greens were simple but refreshing. The biggest surprise was the portion, which was huge and could be easily shared with two people.

It's a solid Ethopian food restaurant. The spicy stuff has some good heat and you get tons of food and tons of injera. I really enjoyed the tibs. I would order from here again.

Food was great!! I got Yawaze Tibs which are listed as spicy but the spice is quite mild. While I feel like more meat should have been included in the takeout box, the food was flavorful and very delicious, would order again. The service was somewhat slow so definitely anticipate a wait whether your dining in or taking out. The environment of the restaurant was very relaxed.

My favourite! The food is absolutely delicious. I have celiac disease and cannot eat out most places. The Teff gluten-free injera is the best! I have never gotten cross contaminated eating here, and truly loved every meal. I highly recommend for everyone, but especially those with allergies, or food intolerance. Thank you so much.

I had terrible terrible yawaze ribs yesterday , no sauce , dry , inedibly chewy, and made my stomach upset. I used to come here every so once in a while , and this is the second flop. I ended up having to throw away yesterdays food so paying was just a donation , smh, never coming here again

I've ordered delivery (through doordash) twice from here now and both times the food was great. The items are always packed well. The food is so flavorful and yummy. They give plenty of injera bread too. I've gotten the yawaze tibs, which are delicious. I've also gotten the side of lentil sambusa which is also super flavorful and yummy. My boyfriend has gotten dullet and loved it. He liked it so much that the first time he ordered it he told me to make sure we remember this place so he can keep getting it. You also get a lot of food. I don't know how in person service is, but for delivery my experience has consistently been good. You also get a free can drink with meals, which isn't even stated on doordash, so that was a pleasant surprise.

I have never written a negative review of a restaurant before, but this was quite honestly the worst veggie combo I've ever had. It's 8:30, I haven't eaten all day, and I was looking forward to this meal. At this point the only silver lining I can find is being able to spare someone else this horrible experience. Literally every component was off: the injera was extremely sour and undercooked. the cabbage was undercooked, unseasoned, and swimming in oil. The beets were undercooked, unseasoned, and swimming in oil. The kik alicha (yellow lentils)? You guessed it...undercooked, unseasoned, swimming in oil. The greens were unseasoned and swimming in oil but, for a refreshing change, overcooked to an oily paste. The only non-oily component was the misir wot (red lentils), which were pretty much raw but seemed to have been seasoned with pure chili and salt, not berbere.Just so we're clear, I am not a picky eater--I can pretty much always find something to appreciate about a meal. And I love Ethiopian food. In my life, I've eaten many things that weren't to my taste out of politeness, but I couldn't eat more than a couple mouthfuls of each component of this combo because the greasiness made it challenging to want to swallow. The one component I did eat more of (the non-greasy misir wot) gave me stomach cramps...because the lentils were raw. Genuinely, what a shame. I don't want to tear down a local business, so please, go support local businesses by going to any other Ethiopian restaurant. Every other one I've frequented does an excellent veggie combo, and I truly cannot imagine any of the ones I haven't tried could be worse than this.

I just got an online order from this place and I'm truly impressed. I was on a hunt to find a good yetsom megib around the dmv area and honestly couldn't find one that I actually like . But this is my new favorite Ethiopian restaurant around the dmv. I got a 5 veggie combo and everything was good, the quantity was great and the food was not too spicy or too mild . It was perfect.
