The food here offers authentic Ethiopian flavors with a great variety of vegetarian, vegan, and meat options, including standout dishes like the Awaze Tibs and vegetarian combo. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent service that makes the dining experience welcoming and enjoyable. Despite limited parking and simple dí©cor, the consistently delicious meals and warm atmosphere keep me coming back whenever I am in the area.

Delicious food and fantastic service at Dama. The vegetarian platter and vegan desserts were a hit, especially the fruit Bavarian cake. My first taste of Ethiopian cuisine left me impressed - the food and service were outstanding. The local crowd speaks volumes about the quality of this establishment.
