Then we had the meat sampler plate, which came with 3 meats and 3 vegetarian offerings in a platter of the injera bread, and a platter of four more rolled injera

Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant & Bar — among the best ethiopian in Edgewater. Intimate atmosphere suited for two. The food tastes like it should, with no compromises. Good for vegetarians. Toya Poplar: "The customer service was phenomenal and the beet salad was incredible" [$$]

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.

Been coming here for over 25 years! Our favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the city. The owners and servers are very friendly, the food is fresh and fast. We recommend the hot tea and coffee. The Gomen is our favorite followed by veggie combo and Zilzil Tibs.

Delicious food and great service. My friend and I split the platter for two and we had plenty of food to take home afterwards. Pro tip: the spicy options are a bit hotter than Sriracha so if you can handle that, it's definitely worth a try :)

I was happy with the service and the food. I asked my server to recommend a traditional drink from Ethiopia. He recommended honey wine, which I enjoyed. I felt like eating a vegetable plate. My server pointed to options on the menu and clearified the options. The food was great. I was there shortly but had a great experience overall.

We dined here after probably 16 years… The food is still good- however one has to have a taste for the Ingira bread which is sour! All dishes on the platter are delicious.. Sambosas are the best! Good overall customer service.. They could definitely use an upgrade for their interiors & restrooms definitely need some TLC!!

My first time eating Ethiopian food and it was delicious! The vegetarian sampler was great with the tea and the sambusas were lovely. I will definitely come back!

Really great spot. Service was perfect. All of the food was superb and I thought the injera here was really nice as well.

Amazing vegetarian platter that even my omnivore friends will devour. Service is pretty nice too. The food is amazingly seasoned as well, so tasty and such a good value for your money.

Went for lunch with coworkers, we ordered our food to go, but it smelled so good we just had to try a bite before leaving—and ended up eating it all right there! I ordered the veggie sampler, every dish was incredibly flavorful and fresh, with perfectly soft, tangy injera and a delicious mix of lentils, greens, and stews. The staff were so kind and welcoming, and the food was absolutely irresistible.
