"The Eru was absolutely good and the most the way the Gari foufou is made wad excellent not hard like stone as you would find in certain place in West Africa. Bravo to that magic cook who did this successfully
.
I would have liked the Eru with fish and shrimp.
I liked the chicken but to have the Eru with mixed chicken, smoked fish and shrimp with crab added will give the Eru a very good perfume as we have in Togo and Benin .
I have really enjoyed my food one order served two meals. Good value for money and it's healthy.
Can you have the Eru done with peanut oil instead ok palm.
Thank you for this comfort food so well anticipated today.
Best regards"
"I ordered the same thing two days in a row. I don't like that their meals are inconsistent. The only thing consistent was the rice. The second time I ordered I didn't get any plantains, the chicken in the Signature Chicken Meal was smaller and hard. The Sausage Rolls was hard as a rock. I couldn't even dig my nails into it"

"Generous portions, but the suya misses the mark on authenticity. While you get a lot of food for the price, the suya unfortunately doesn't taste like real suya. It completely lacks that signature smoky, charred grill flavor, and it doesn't even look like it ever touched a grill. On the bright side, the plantains were a 10/10—perfectly cooked. Just be aware that their stock picture is highly misleading; it looks like you get two side orders, but you actually only get one."

"The Fish Sandwich is the best fish sandwich in the DMV today for the spicy vegetables, properly prepared fish that is fresh, portioned generously, and delicious.

"Excellent as always! Prompt, accurate service with instructions followed, boxes labelled as to which contain mild food, absolutely delicious, great selection, cooked to perfection, every morsel completely tasty! Perfect!
Oh, what did I eat, you wonder? The Dinich Wot (Potato Stew) I had never seen or heard of before so naturally, it was a must! Nicely spiced, saucy stew! That was had with a side of Ater Kik/ mild yellow split peas and the 'regular' injera served in America .... My dining partner and I shared most everything including my Fosolia with a side of Kay Misir -- spicy red lentils -- and the authentic Ethiopian injera (the original teff rather than teff mixed with wheat -- thinner, more sour-tasting, with a totally different long-term bodily effect!) -- and a delicious, crispy lentil sambusa for to end! Again, it was just perfection! Mmm ... ! :-D"

"This is my first time trying African Cuisine and I will say 10/10 recommend!!
I’m so glad I chose Juneteenth to try African food!
The Ogbono is so good! It is very spicy, idk if it comes that way. I will try to get regular next time. I thought it was completely vegetable, I had beef or stew meat - it was tender.
The pounded yam goes well with it, it reminds me of a ball of instant mashed potatoes. It helps with the spice.
The Moi-Moi is good! I might eat it for breakfast. The texture is smooth and solid. Its similar to tamale.
The Suya was a little tough. The purple sliced onions were really good and spicy as well.
The meat pie was good! I got chicken, it was flavorful. I was expecting the chicken to have more juice to it.
Overall each item was full of flavor and spices. I will reorder this again along with a dessert!! I think this is a great place for a first timer! If you have never tried African cuisine, be open minded and give it a try!"

"Quick order completion and delivery. Not many local Ethiopian spots offer meat & veggie combination platter (for delivery) and this is perfect when you're craving a bit of everything. The price & portion size of the Combination Platter 1 match with consideration of current food prices. Nothing was too spicy (could have been more but I get that would take it out of a general standard) or bland. Warmth @ arrival was decent for food variety. Would order again!"
"I love their dullet so much!!! The spices the portion and the kibe it just so PERFECT! but the other day I ordered Doro Wot wet and it didn't taste good. I wouldn't order it again. It was too spicy and didn't have a true doro wet taste. Almost no chicken on it. I will just continue ordering Dulet from this store. "

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."
