"Ate the egg and one meat already. Got the Jollof & Goat Stew massive portion. Worth every bite. Could use a bit more Knorr/ Maggie but I like it like mad. I go use my last card if possible get from this restaurant. It's THAT worth it y'all."
"The food was okay... the Fried Red Snapper w/ Veggies was much smaller than expected & the "veggies" that came with the fish was just raw onions & green peppers. It wasn't worth $20.
The Spinach Stew & Egusi Stew was alright, but the spinach could have been cooked softer. I did expect more flavor.
The Plantain was delicious

"Okra Soup proportion is too small for the amount that they are asking for the cost

have complained about the small

"This is the only consistent jamaican food I've experienced. Always a hit and never a miss. The Ackee & Saltfish is fresh and doesnt have the canned taste whether they use it or not. The portions are always plentiful with anything i order, , and the patties are fresh unlike many places I've tried that seem heated up from another day. I love the Beef and cheese Patty . It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "
"Plenty of food for sure. The chicken was tender. I just did not like the taste of Curry Chicken, too bitter like maybe too much allspice or tumeric? The Cabbage mix was more like coleslaw style which I was not expecting. Overall a good value, just not my preference. Also wish these places would throw in a slice of bread or rotti."

I also enjoy that I can select my favorite brand or light/dark Teff injera here!
As a wheat-allergic diner, Dama is an amazing place to enjoy Ethiopian cuisine without worrying that someone will make a mistake and I will have a horrible reaction. The staff is very careful about using only Gluten-Free injera in our orders, so we have loved this spot for all the years since we first discovered it. The staff are all warm, friendly, and conscientious people as well."

"They should consider removing Goden Tibs from the menu. Got a HUGE bone with barely any meat on it, only disgusting fat, unseasoned, burnt and just a mess! And I've had better Fasolia for the price and size. I've had their Derek Tibs before and although never consistent (sometimes it has tomatoes sometimes not), that one was good. Hence the 4 stars, their saving grace. And I love that they have American Injera by the bag."

"What a treat. I wasn't sure how well Ethiopian food was going to pack and travel but it arrived in perfect shape. The collection of vegetarian dishes was superb. Spicy but not overwhelmingly so. The Tekil Gomen and Shiro Wat are two of my favorites but their version of Kayser -- the rich, mineral-laden beet dish, was incredible. Just delicious. It was served on injera, as it would be in a restaurant, with several more rounds of the flat bread folded over the top to soak up any sauce that spilled over in transit. Ed I definitely did not need the extra side of injera I ordered. This meal would have fed 2-3 hungry people. There is a smaller sampler for one but I wanted to taste everything. So glad I did. Will definitely order again!! "
"Family Special was delicious, especially the beet dish. Definitely a hearty two meals' worth of food. The Sambusa was tasty as well. The pastry was doughier rather than crispy which was different than most others in the area."

"I enjoyed the meal overall. The chicken was flavorful and juicy. I liked the rice as it wasn't dry and I couldn't stop eating the glazed, sweetened plantains. I am happy they correctly fulfilled my request for ample sauces. They only missed my request for a house salad dressing (if available) to be swapped out for two of the mild and spicy sauces. I plan on ordering from them again. "
"Always solid--sometimes needs some zhuzhing. love the easy dinner and 1/2 Chicken Dark Meat--enough for dinner and salad leftovers. Yucca was a little soggy this time, but air fryer fixed it and Extra sauces were more mayo than green (hate mayo) but was able to use my own."

"It's hard to find authentic, great tasting Dominican or Puerto Rican food in the DMV. This place is a hit! I'll continue to order. The rice is fire, pernil was perfect as well as the chicken. 10 outta 10! "
"I'm not sure what happened today but the food was terrible. The containers are getting smaller and smaller for the price. The beans were watery. The rice was undercooked. There was barely any meat in the stew. I counted 3 pieces of meat in my stew. Three. These were the scraps at the bottom of the bucket. All of the containers came half full. Waste of money."

"Finally falafel done right. There are so many falafel recipes but if you know, you know, Egyptian falafel is the real deal. This is Egyptian recipe for falafel done really well. The koshary is also very delicious. I'm really glad the food was packaged in healthier paper containers with no plastic will definitely order again."
"High quality food, which makes it more okay to pay these kinds of prices. Can't afford it too often, but I love it when I do. Especially their salmon (very expensive but very good) and chicken kabobs. And the Egyptian cookies are usually fresh and really tasty. Only complaint: when you order the appetizer platter your are forced to also add $2 for extra bread. I don't eat bread. Kind of annoying. "
