Family Ethiopian Restaurant

The food was amazing! I had the Doro Wot and I absolutely loved it! But word to the wise if you don't like spicy tell them and ask for a non spicy dish because they're all pretty spicy. All in all 10/10, we'll definitely be coming back

During vacation weekend, the need to explore new cuisine was strong. After reading Family Ethiopian's menu, I knew the food was going to be phenomenal. On Sunday we came to the restaurant with a party of four. At first, we were afraid that Family was closed, but were delighted to see the owner walking up to the door. When coming to Family Ethiopian, you're not just at a restaurant but a home. The dining room was comfortable and cozy. When the dishes come to the table, our eyes widened.

Kik Alitcha has a base of yellow split peas. As the menu suggests, the dish is simmered in mild sauce of onion, olive oil, turmeric, garlic, g

Absolutely delicious food! Loved everything we had. Service was slow but I think there was only one person working in the front which is completely understandable. In that case. One person can only do so much. They had Ethiopian music playing and the restaurant was decorated Lovely. If we are ever back in Washington, we will definitely visit again.
