Tabor Ethiopian Restaurant

Three of us got some veggie sambusas (and then we ordered more of those because WOW) and the Tabor. The Special Tibbs was so great that we asked for a separate order of it in chicken (lamb, beef, or chicken). We "bothered" our waiter quite a bit and he didn't mind a bit. He was so caring and kind. It was such a neat little spot and with culturally appropriate music playing. Just a while vibe. 1000% will be returning!

Love love love this gem on Park Ave & I can walk to it from UMB. The owner and waitress were super kind and the food was tip-top. I had no idea chickpea sauce (Shiro) could be so good - not a fan of the bean in general. Ethiopian tunes sealed the deal. I'm excited to tell people about it and go back.

So this restaurant has a patron for life out of me, because, man, what an amazing visit!

I liked everything about this place as soon as I walked in the door. The venue has a nice vibe, chill and relaxed. The wait staff was attentive and very helpful with explaining menu items and making suggestions for entrees.

I wanted ALL the things, and was directed to "The Baltimore" which includes 9 veggies (NINE, OMG) and 2 proteins. We went with the Key Wot and got Kitfo for an up-charge (WORTH IT). Also got some honey wine, which was interesting but ultimately not my thing. Perhaps on the next visit I'll explore the world of Ethiopian beer.

The platter of food looked absolutely AMAZING when it arrived and I wasn't sure where to start...LOL, that's a lie, I went straight for the kitfo with a piece of injera. And when I say it was delicious...LAWD.

I asked for some extra spice and was given a container of what looked like cayenne pepper, but less heat and more salt. It was perfect. With that and plenty of injera, I got to work. And I was thoroughly pleased with all the food on the platter. I ate until I was stuffed and there was still so much food left. Took home a doggy bag.

Lo and behold, the next day, I heated up my leftovers and the food was still excellent. It was a little hard to wrangle out from soggy injera, but I happily managed what I could.

I WILL BE BACK. A LOT. Not a threat but a promise, lol.

I went w/ my friend for my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine. We split the Baltimore (for 2) and loved it. Veggies were fresh and the meal was tasty and filling. I ordered tea as well and it was pleasantly spiced.

This was an amazing Ethiopian food experience. The decor is very chill and cozy making for a warm and relaxing ambiance. The wait staff is attentive and provides good service.

Great food great service casual ambiance reasonable prices. What is their not like? Even enjoyed the Ethiopian music videos. A find.

I've been to Ethiopian restaurants in DC as well as other places, and I would not consider myself a connoisseur. However, this restaurant has made me a fan and a disciple. Absolutely delicious. The Ethiopian beers and the Ethiopian YouTube playing on the wall was a nice touch.
It's not in a great area and the service was noticeable understaffed. However, their prices reflect it. Why are they selling beers for $3 when everyone else is selling for $7. They need to raise their prices and hire more staff. But if you want a fun, delicious experience and are not in a rush, this place works.

Food was delicious, the space clean and bright. Enjoyed the Ethiopian music videos playing over the bar. Our service was nice but inattentive. We needed to find her to ask for a second round of drinks and water, then had to go back again to ask for water when the second round came and some time had gone by without her bringing the water.

First time trying Ethiopian food and it did not disappoint. Everything was so good, there were a variety of meats & veggies. Super flavorful + great spices. Amazing service as well and staff were sweet.

I was a bit worried when a colleague and I got to Tabor's on a Tuesday night and the only people there besides us were two waitstaff. As it turns out, I had nothing to fear: the food was incredible! The staff were attentive, super welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. I ordered the Veggie 5 Combination with collard greens, spicy red lentils, spicy sweet potatoes, and two portions of beets (because I love beets). Everything was delicious and we left feeling delightfully nourished. The only thing I wish I had known in advance is that the restaurant is in a blighted area of the city. We had walked there from our hotel and most of the walk was fine, but there were a few blocks where we didn't feel safe and we second guessed our decision to walk. Pro tip: take an Uber to Tabor's!
