Awash Ethiopian Restaurant

"Awash’s large, boxy interior and hardwood floors make it feel a little like a wedding reception venue. This makes sense, since you can book this Edgewater restaurant’s space for any event requiring a 50-seat communal table (hopefully everyone gets along): weddings, birthdays, or graduation parties. And it’s great for the latter since it’s across from Loyola. Awash has greatest hits like doro wot and gomen, along with zesty shrimp tibs and fantastic elebete. The pureed fava beans drizzled with olive oil are nicely complemented by the tart injera. " - john ringor

"Awash’s spacious, boxy interior and hardwood floors make it feel a little like a wedding reception venue. This checks out, since you can reserve this Edgewater Ethiopian restaurant’s space for any event that warrants a 50-seat communal table: weddings, birthdays, or graduation parties. It's particularly convenient for the latter since it’s across from Loyola—it's common to find a handful of students here. Awash has classics like doro wot and gomen, along with spicy shrimp tibs or their delicious elebete. The garlicky pureed fava beans topped with olive oil nicely complements their tart injera.
