This was my second visit to Awaze Ethiopian Eritrean Cuisine, and once again, their food did not disappoint. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, yet it's bursting with flavor. I don't remember the exact names of the dishes we ordered, but you can see them in the photos. The presentation was appealing, and the food tasted even better than it looked. The decor adds a nice touch to the overall experience. The service is decent—not outstanding, but it didn't take away from the experience. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Came to Awaze from Greensboro because we were missing Ethiopian food. The experience didn’t disappoint. Food was delicious and service was great. Highly recommend other folks check them out. For anyone that is new to the cuisine I recommend getting the platters that way you can try a little bit of everything. We normally get a veggie platter and a meat entree.

What can I say about Awaze Ethiopian Eritrean Cuisine? Amazing food. This was my first time eating Ethiopian food, and I was blown away. From the minute I entered the restaurant, a friendly waitress greeted me; she was extremely friendly and answered all my questions. I ordered a meat sampler and was amazed at how well the dish tasted. The spicy sauces blended exceptionally well. I also ordered the Lamb Awaze tips. The lamb was incredibly tender. It's hands down the best food I’ve tried in NC. Take it from me: do yourself a favor and give this restaurant a shot.

Ok place in a convenient location. Food tasted a bit bland unfortunately and service is a bit slow. It was a bit busy which I guess is understandable. The mist important factor is the food was not as good that tasty, kind of sick if flavors than what I am used to compared to other Ethiopia place. Staff is friendly though.

This small, local restaurant has some deliciously authentic West African cuisine. The service was marvelous, being friendly and quite tolerant of a boisterous group of diners. Starting with the Veggie Sambussa, a delicately fried phyllo style pastry dough filled with finely shredded veggies and spices. It is very reminiscent of Greek Spanakopita, but with different veggie/spice flavors. The injera bread tasted fresh with a thin spongy consistency and slight sour tang that provides an excellent compliment to the other dishes. If used, as intended as your eating utensil, it will definitely help you fill up fast. The Meat Sampler: Kay Wot (beef), Doro Wot (chicken), and Alecha (Beef) all have nice distinct flavors with slight varieties of spiciness. It was all very tender and the paprika herb sauce really tied it all together. Awaz'e Tibs (beef) has beef with onions, rosemary, and garlic sautéed in a delicious tomato-type sauce with just a hint of heat. The Nech Tibs is cubed beef in a more broth-like sauce that has a light beef stew flavor and consistency.
Washing it down with the spiced iced coffee and spiced iced tea polish off the meal well.
