I had seen this restaurant on Route 1 many times and had always wanted to try it. A few weeks ago I checked online and it said it was closed, but I went there this weekend and not only were they open, they were busy! My friend and I ordered the vegetarian combo for 2 and split it (disclaimer, even though a section of their menu says 'vegetarian ' it is, in fact, 100% vegan). This visually stunning platter came with 2 servings of all of the veg-dishes as well as a basket of injera. My friend also tried some of the Ethiopian wine and loved it. I would like to return and try the coffee ceremony as it is very highly acclaimed at this restaurant. While I am not strictly HCLF, I do try to keep my...
We have tried a few different Ethiopian restaurants in MD and VA and this one is still our favorite. The combo meals are the best bang for your buck and haven't found any other place that does the combos similarly. You get three meats as well as as veggies! The staff are very welcoming and I'm sure they can do substitutions as needed. The quantity of food you get is great and everything comes out hot and fresh. And of course, the flavor is amazing and all are delicious.
Shagga is, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best Ethiopian food in a very competitive DC market. The Tibs are the most flavorful I have ever had. The sides are also well made and have excellent flavor. Be aware that when you visit you will not be rushed, but it’s best not to be in a rush either. The food is excellent but it can take some time. Allot over an hour for visits to Shagga, or order your takeout accordingly.
Beautiful vegetarian platter and the waiter was very nice. I would recommend this place for dinner instead of lunch. They don't have a lunch menu and food doesn't come out super quickly. If you have time for a leisurely lunch it's nice because it's not crowded, but definitely don't come here if you're in a hurry.

I love Shagga Ethiopian restaurant! The staff are super nice and made my wife and I feel so welcome. The food is amazing, especially the cabbage, the tilapia and the kitfo. Everything is so flavorful and fresh. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Ethiopian cuisine or wants to try something new.
I came here and ordered the Veggie combo for 2. The food here is delicious with nice color and taste. I ate my half and I was very full, I definitely have other menu item in mind to try next time. They also provided awesome service. They also do have dine in.
Hadn't been here in years and now I'm wondering why we've been going anywhere else! The food, the environment and the service are all top-notch. We got a mixture of different meats/vegetables and our group had a great time!
The dining area and bathroom were both immaculately clean, the service was welcoming and friendly, and the food was incredibly tasty. I ordered the vegetarian combo and will definitely be returning in the future.

I always get the veggie combo which is also vegan. Generous portions means I have a meal for the next day.
Great food for a great cost!! Be sure to order the lentil Sambusas to accompany your meal!
