Awash - New York City

Cute spot with plenty of vegan options on the menu. The vegan sampler platter is definitely the way to go!

I was shocked by the aroma of the food. It just takes you over. It feels home made. Like you are visiting the house of a friends Ethiopian mom. This was my first time eating here so I didn’t know what to expect. And to my amazement, there was a vegan section on the menu! Get the veggie platter!! Updated from previous review on 2020-12-02

Vegan supreme for exploring a great country and cuisine The sampler plate with a selection of vegan dishes is really enough for 2 so take a container Spicy lentils and chickpeas, collard greens, string beans, beets, etc. served with delicious ample amounts of injera (Ethiopian bread) Always inspired by my late political theory teacher and ambassador to Ethiopia to keep the peace and celebrate the very best in culture Updated from previous review on 2021 05 10

I have tried Ethiopian cuisine in Philadelphia and Washington D.C. and enjoyed it, so I was excited to find Ethiopian restaurants in New York City as well. I was particularly interested in Awash because of its menu...

This was my first time trying African cuisine and I had a good overall experience. I would definitely consider returning, but it wasn't anything particularly special. The restaurant's ambiance was not very appealing, however.
