Great services, wonderful atmosphere, oh the taste food. Very welcoming stop. Suggestion of food was wonderful. Go in and try it. We sat and eat and chat. Full bar of drinks but must try the cinnamon tea.

The portion size are huge so don’t worry about not getting full of rich and kinda healthy food. The only „problem“ I had was the taste but that is something out of my personal point of view. I would like to have more spice but overall good quality.

Great food, but terrible wait times. If you order out, be prepared to wait at least an hour and potentially closer to an hour and half. Even when the place has only a few patrons. They also got my last order wrong after waiting over an hour. Love their food but time to find another place that’s more efficient and reliable.

I’d had about 5 great experiences there, but the last one about a month ago was disappointing. The beef was tough and inedible. We told two waitresses and they each seemed to shrug it off. Everything else was good. Due to this experience I won’t be coming back and I will no longer recommend this place to others.

Extremely delicious! Authentic! I enjoyed everything we ate on our huge injera plate. Very good misir wot, shiro wot and beets like I have never had before. Yum.

Great food (lots of it) and a great atmosphere. Soft African saxophone playing the background and a conversationally dark ambiance. We got the lamb plate and the veggie combo. Great pairing for a sample of everything. Highly recommend it for first time Ethiopian diners.

Meleket is the MOST AUTHENTIC, rich Ethiopian Cuisine that you will be able to find throughout the entire DMV. They are warm, welcoming, and will assist you from your food and premium drinks from beginning to the end of service. Most of the time you will see the owner serving and not even know that SHE is the owner, very humble and all about preserving the culture for those that would like to have a classic, Ethiopian, traditional experience. This restaurant is a hidden best kept secret. From the outside you will look at the restaurant and think of it, this looks like a small place, but once you enter it is super spacious & looks like royalty inside, crown molding, richly tiled ceilings, super spacious, beautiful splashes, textiles, and an amazing centerpiece bar. You will not be disappointed, everyone of the diaspora goes here for a full experience. You will even see the arrangement for buna (Ethiopian coffee) immediately when you walk in with the traditional settings for their coffee ceremony. I have been her 5 times already since I was referred here and will come here the rest of my life! Yes it is amazing and the food is magnificent!!! I am in food heaven here! Go there right now today!!! Their prices are right also!!!
