From Our Kitchen to Your Table

The Art of Jebena

Coffee was born in the highland forests of southwestern Ethiopia, where wild coffee still grows today. At the heart of Ethiopian coffee culture is the jebena, a handmade clay pot with a round belly and a narrow neck. In the traditional ceremony, beans are roasted, ground, and brewed in the jebena, then poured in three rounds: abol, tona, and baraka. More than a drink, it is a ritual of hospitality and community.

Go! Trust me you will not regret it. Anything you get here you will absolutely love. First Minar (I hope I'm not killing it) our server, was wonderful. She was attentive but not smoothering. EVERYTHING she suggested was sooo good. There were 2 of us and we had the lentil sambusa (fab), also ended up doing the taste of Awash for 1 and spicy lamb tibs, wow! Never had lamb so tender and juicy in my life and it was all very generous portions. The honey wine and imported beer were also really…

Awash Ethiopian Restaurant in Miami Gardens is a culinary gem that left us speechless! The meat sambusa starter was a crispy, golden delight, packed with juicy, spiced beef that set the tone for an incredible meal. The doro wot was a masterpiece—tender chicken in a fiery, soul-warming berbere sauce, paired with a perfectly boiled egg soaked in flavor. The awaze beef tibs arrived sizzling, with caramelized onions and jalapeños amplifying its bold, peppery kick. The kitfo, served rare, was…

One of the healthiest food that you can eat outside with the taste! Must try their Lentil samosa and fruit juice. The juices were freshly prepared. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Good Ethopian ethnic touch. Best way to taste most of the dishes is to go for a platter. Plenty of veg options available.

This place is amazing!!!! Great price, amazing food with the best flavors I have ever tasted. The service was also great and the waiter made the best recommendations. We were well taken care of. I came here and shared the platter with my friends, it was a communal experience. We started with the sambusa and ended with the mint limeade and chocolate cake. I left with a full heart and a full belly. Thank you Awash. AND THEY ARE BLACK OWNED AND FAMILY OWNED!!

We had an excellent dinner at Awash and highly recommend it. The restaurant itself is unremarkable and sits on a strip mall next to a liquor store. But the food is delicious and service very attentive and professional. We ordered one of their sampler plates and every single item was delicious. Ethiopian food is typically eaten with your hands by way of their sourdough bread rolls. But if you don't enjoy this tradition you can ask for a plate and hardware and the staff at Awash won't blink…
