This may seem like an over exaggeration but words cannot express just how much I loved my experience dining at Das Ethiopian. I came with my mom because we love Ethiopian food and we heard only good things about this location. Five stars really isn't enough to give this restaurant in a rating because the experience was just that great. We got outdoor seating just outside which was perfect because the weather was beautiful. It wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold. It was in the early evening so you could see everyone coming home from work and embracing the lull of relaxation, which only enhanced the ambiance of the beautifully designed restaurant. We got a meat and vegetable combo platter which was delicious. When the food came, the waitress explained what everything was and what was in it. Just hearing her describe the food made my mouth water. Our platter was delicious and had the perfect combination of flavors. I enjoyed every bite. We got two different types of Tibs, we enjoyed the egg, lentils, greens, and beets. Every flavor blended well with each other, the spices were perfectly cooked into each part of the dish, and the injera bread was delicious and worked nicely with everything. I loved speaking with the people who worked there about the restaurant and the food. Every moment from when we sat down to when we left was really nice.

This was the first time we had tried Ethiopian food and will say I was a great experience. We decided to order the Vegeterian Sambusa, as a starter, and 3 other main courses to share. I could say there are similarities to our Mexican food because their food is very flavorful, as they use different spices, and their version of what it looks like a rolled up "tortilla". They also served two different sauces on the side for us to use as needed. We also had the pleasant experience of having to share all the house specialties we selected. These were served on a big plate from which we all were grabbing the food with our rolled bread/ tortilla. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the noise level was for the most part low. We would live to go back to tryout more of their food, unfortunately we live in San Francisco and it would be a 5 hour flight to get there.

I've had ethiopian food in NYC before but I think this restaurant was amazing food quality wise. Taste was so good and not as 'dry' as what I had in NYC. Service was really slow though -- they were extremely packed so I guess that's reasonable. The place looked very family friendly as we saw a huge party with kids who was around for longer than us! Would highly recommend you RSVP if interested in going.

Das is the place to go if you want to try Ethiopian for the first time in an uspcale setting. If the weather is nice their outdoor seating is lovely. Shared plates and very hands-oriented for utensils so consider that if you're bringing a first date here it's going to get messy but I think it's a lovely way to truly share a meal. The shrimp tibs are my favorite and the lemon sorbet served in a frozen lemon is a crowd pleaser.

Das is the "fancy" Ethiopian restaurant. The food is as good as other places, but the price is going to be somewhat higher. The location is nice, so it's a good date place, especially if the weather is good for outdoor eating, and they have a good beer and wine selection. No complaints about the service. Overall, it's where I take fancier out of town friends who aren't going to love a more hole in the wall experience, or for a date, combined with a walk in Georgetown!

I walked by this place while in Georgetown and thought it looked nice. After wandering around I came back and decided to have dinner here with a co-worker. We were promptly seated at 8pm. The place feels intimate with a small bar and tables all around with hanging lights. There is a second floor with seating as well and a restroom but seemed to be closed that day for dining. We both got the Das Combination vegetarian entree sampler ($26). This was a great way to try all the items and the injera flat bread was refilled as needed. I had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Servers were attentive. They have a small outdoor patio area for dining too in the warmer months. A good spot if you want to try something new and healthy.

This is a beautiful high end little restaurant in Georgetown... old building, white tablecloth, and guess what kids, you get to eat with your hands! We had a reservation, so was seated right away. Full bar menu and not vegetarian (which is totally different from the Ethiopian restaurants we have at home). So we ordered the Das Combination Vegetarian Entree Sampler as our base, and added the House Salad, which was a nice combination of beets, potatoes & green beans, as well as the Beef Alicha and Lamb Tibs. Everything on the plate was delicious. I was starting to get worried that I was going to fill up on the injera, when our server reappeared with forks! (Only so we could enjoy the rest of the food!). Definitely a five star meal and experience.

It is a unique type of cuisine from Africa. Unlike most of the fine dining restaurants in the US, Ethiopian restaurant does not provide silver wares. And the food are mostly shared amount the table. We ordered the beef and chicken sampler, shrimp, and lamb. All very good! I love the food texture, flavor, and its unique serving style. The restaurant has a great street view when you seats by the window. The service is great!
