"Great Ethiopian food in Gaithersburg! Better than most of the Ethiopian restaurants in silver Spring, equal to the good ones off 18th street and Adams Morgan. We ordered the sampler platters for the entrees and the vegetable platter for the side dish. The beef in the tibs was tender, the chicken and beef in the wats the same. The vegetables in the sampler were outstanding, cooked perfectly. The injera, soft and heavenly! Since discovering this little place we don't have to travel anymore for good Ethiopian food. The staff is very friendly too. As always, will be back again soon!"

"OMG this is some really good Ethiopian food!!! We just found this place and are delighted. The Awaze Tibs are the best we've ever had. It's carryout only and it's part of an Ethiopian dry goods market, so it's not what you would expect. Don't let that deter you because this place is a find! Not only that, it's the only nearby Ethiopian restaurant that is open on Mondays. The woman behind the counter was a delight. I will definitely be back!"
