Best Ethiopian Restaurants in Schiller Park

We were there on a Monday night early, and it really filled up. It is delicious and fresh. I never enjoyed Ethiopian cuisine until now. Very pleasant.

The food here was excellent! The staff was very nice and helpful in assisting us with our selections. We have had Ethiopian food many times and can truly attest that this restaurant is a winner.

Awash does not look promising from the outside, other than the free parking lot in front. But inside, it's a beautiful, clean restaurant with tables spaced widely apart to permit easy conversation with one's eating companions. The food was delicious. We devoured the appetizer, which is somewhat like an empanada, but crisper. Our favorite was the spinach-filled one. Although several combos are listed on the menu, only one meat combo is available. We really enjoyed this, and it came with one chicken, one lamb, and one beef selection in addition to assorted veges. We also enjoyed the lamb tibs. The injera (Ethiopian bread) was less spongy than most, which made for easier scooping up of the food. We will definitely be back.

The food here is amazing! Everything was excellently spiced, the tea was delicious, and the fish was perfectly fried. The only issue was the service. We were seated very quickly, but our meal took over 2 hours. The appetizers came shortly after we ordered, but it was over an hour until our entrée arrived. When it was time to pay the bill, we couldn't get a hold of our waitress and had to ask the manager to take our check.
