This place is Awesome starting from the moment we walked in the door. Our server was attentive made us feel so welcome We really had good time. If you are looking for a clean fun atmosphere with yummy food I suggest coming here.This will definitely be our go to place.

I have been a regular customer at Enat Restaurant for years. They offer excellent kitfo and Yebeg Wot. The staff is very friendly with outstanding service. There was never a disappointment. The owner is very pleasant and accommodating as well.

Truthfully the best Veggie Combo and Kitfo I’ve had in the DMV in years. Consistently fresh and everything is house made.They have also meat Samplers (Enat Agelgel) and other dishes to suit a group. But, the Veggie Combo and Habesha beer are unbeatable! Recommended to everyone.

Stopped by to pick up an order and the restaurant is nicely renovated. The food was good as always.

Enat has great food and great service. We shared a vegetarian combo for three people and had more than enough. We did all for additional engera, which they gladly provided. There is plenty of seating with adequate space. Ethiopian music add to the ambiance. There is good parking with plenty of space.

Ordered take-out last night. Halfway through my meal I bit into something that couldn't be chewed, pulled it out and it was a triangular piece of plastic (like the top of a bag that had been opened with a knife). Threw the rest of my food out. 2 stars because it tasted ok until I found the plastic.

I was craving Ethiopian and ordered Yekwanta/Quanta firfir late at night using a UberEats and this is the absolutely the worst Ethiopian food experience I have ever had coming from someone who has tried numerous Ethiopian restaurants in the DC Metro area.Not sure how the beef for the firfir was dried but it was burnt, crunchy and had a bitter taste. I felt like I was eating the burnt scraps of the pan.My advice is do not order food from this restaurant late at night with a food delivery app to avoid going through a similar experience.Rating: Bottom of the Barrel.... I warned you

We were looking for a culinary adventure. Enat Fine Ethiopian Cuisine did not disappoint. It had been decades since our last Ethiopian meal! This place is a dive but does have very helpful and friendly staff, a full bar and the glassware was clean.Our server, Brook, was attentive and explained the menu. He provided a number of suggestions for our meal: honey wine, yebeg wot, assa dulet, shiro, gomen, tikil gomen, fasolia, misser watt, shiro, timatim fitfit, kik aletcha. We ordered all of his suggestions. There were a few I forgot. My favorite was the assa dulet. We also ordered their sambussa which was delightful.The owner stopped by to provide us with a remedial demonstration on how to use the Injera for the meal. (There is no cutlery. You use the Injera bread to collect bits of food.) I was using WAY TOO MUCH Injera for each bite and was the first of my group to deplete my Injera.True story: at the end of our meal one of the other diners, also named Brook, came over and insisted on paying for our meal. We learned that Brook is a common Ethiopian male name which means blessed and peaceful.

The flavor of their food was just not there we've been eating a Ethiopian opium restaurants for over 15 years the waiter was very good at her job so I don't blame her she was courteous checked on us several times as far as the food I would not go back

I am in love with this restaurant and I highly recommended for anyone to try their menu, the food is fresh properly prepared most of all the price is reasonable????? and thank you for your great service.
