Skyline Cafe

Skyline Cafe is really more like Skyline Lounge, but the atmosphere was lively and friendly. I ordered the bozena shero, which was beef tips cooked in a buttery tomato sauce served on a platter lined with tangy, spongy injera bread. I also had the collard greens on the side, which were cooked surprisingly much like we eat them in Georgia. Of course, a plate of injera was provided for dipping up the food. It was all delicious. The staff and other patrons were all very friendly. Apparently they were not only used to serving good food but warm hospitality, as well.

I passed by Skyline on a Saturday night and decided to stop through...not impressed. The girl behind the bar said they didn't have rum. The workers/owners/friends of employees or whoever they were, were yelling inside and making obnoxious noises.

my mouth will never recover from this. i won't be able to eat meat again without feeling profound disappointment that it's not from this restaurant

Ate at this restaurant with a close friend of mine and we ordered the veggie platter. The food was delicious and I will definitely come back to order again if I'm in the area. I joked with my friend saying if the people of the same nationality are eating the food than you know its authentic and worth every penny lol. We also ordered a couple of glasses honey wine which was too strong and sweet for us to drink. They ended up charging us the whole bottle which we did not drink (because we only wanted a glass). But regardless we paid for it ($25!) and took it home. Next time I'll just get water lol. Regardless though the food and service was great! Highly recommend!

It was hard to decide which restaurant to go to with so many options to pick from in the mini mall. I'm thrilled I selected a wonderful choice. It was nice and cool inside on a warm day. The weighted was so nice and attentive. I ordered an Ethiopian beer and appropriately asked for my ID. I ordered a veggie combo to eat in, and a meet conbo to take home. The food was amazing and I even got some extra injera to take. I'll definitely be back.

Thank you Yelpers for directing me to this place!! I used to live very close to this little shopping center, and thought I'd never have a reason to go in. WRONG. Skyline Cafe is now my go-to Ethiopian place. I no longer have to go to DC to get some good Ethiopian food. I went last Friday for lunch. The bartender/waitress was very friendly and tended to me right away. I sat in the higher bar tables near the front of the neat, small, but not cramped, place.I got the lentil sambusa which was flavorful with a nice wrapper. The wrapper was thicker than I've had at other places, but it was good - and the sambusa was unusually large. I got the veggie platter and loved all of it. The collards actually had flavor here, and the lentils had some kick. The potato "salad" and the other green salad was delicious. Throughout the meal, my waitress was attentive, filling my glass when I needed it, replacing my napkins, etc. It was a perfectly pleasant lunch. I already told others, so we could go back together :)

Amesaquanalo! I love Enjera and Ethiopian food since I grew up with Ethiopian neighbors in Israel. We use to celebrate holidays together and we explored the amazing Ethiopian kitchen. In the U.S I've always went to Ethiopian restaurants on many places : Vegas, Miami, NY, DC but this Skyline one is my favorite. Enjoy

It's pretty good. I believe it's very authentic. The service is very good. We ordered the veggie combo platter as well as lean beef. It's so so so so so good. It's more filling that expected so we packed some leftover. We used groupon. Highly recommend this.

Yet another absolutely excellent Ethiopian place in Virginia!I got the "50/50" here, which is basically a 50/50 split of raw meat and tibs. Needless to say, it was excellent. The injera was perfectly spongy and fresh, the meat itself was tender and excellently spiced, and the vegetables were nice, crunchy, and equally fresh. Everything was very affordable for the volume, though I'll note that ordering delivery (through BiteSquad) can get kinda pricey.I'd definitely eat here again!

Just don't bother going in if you're hungry. I was sitting at a table for no less than 15 minutes and no one so much as offered a glass of water. The vibes alone were creepy. The place is dark and dingy looking. The health department rating alone is a turnoff. I should have researched that before stoping in. Thank you for ignoring the only customer you had seated in the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. You did me a favor.
