Ambassador Restaurant - Restaurant in Washington - 1907 9th St NW, USA

The restaurant is gorgeous on the inside. Most of the seating is benches around a table to make the eating experience more communal and easier to share food. You want to share too, because the portions are large and everything was delicious. We had the mixed vegetable platter. It was a showcase of different flavors all beautifully spiced. Service was very hospitable and the owner even checked in on us and thanked us personally for stopping in.

This place was amazing, and the owner went way above and beyond, and out of his way to make a dinner for me even after the kitchen was closed. The food is amazing. The customer service is amazing and you’ll be lucky if you get the chance to eat here! the lighting in the music and people are all very cool and creative, the ambience is very indicative of the customer service that they have here. Definitely check it out in the area.

Go here for an Ethiopian hookah lounge with an unsuspecting door front with okay food. Felt like I couldn't breathe after a few minutes and got takeout. Go to Habesha a few doors down for much better food quality+ quantity and air quality.

Everyone was very friendly & hospitable; the staff & the customers. It was very thoughtful to ask if I was familiar with Ethiopian cuisine when I ordered... I got the shiro which arrived still bubbling in a preheated clay pot. It also came with a simple, traditional salad. It was delicious, exactly what I was hoping for. The flavor was excellent & authentic as well as the consistency. It was a very good value and I'm looking forward to my next visit! It is a sports bar so expect it to be a bit loud. This was just fine with me, I enjoyed the lively mood and the Ethiopian music playing. The favor seemed a bit mismatched; not what I would expect for any Ethiopian restaurant or a sports bar but it was pleasant nonetheless.

Newley remodeled restaurant with Beautiful ambiance. I had veggie combo with chicken grill was bam. Service was on point and they treat you like a family. Check it out you won’t be disappointed.

Super nice people, amazing Ethiopian food, really laid-back vibe. They blended the sports bar with Ethiopian restaurant in a really cool way. Will always come back.

Came in to this cozy little spot this afternoon for lunch and was not disappointed. I'm visiting from New Mexico where we sorely lack variety in our food choices. It's been years since I've had food like this. I ordered the tibs and it was delicious. The beef was tender and the flavor was deep, rich and spicy. The injera was soft and they were generous with their portion sizes. The service was warm and lovely as well.

I had never tried Ethiopian food before coming here today and had a great experience. I ordered the spicy chicken tibsi and it was perfect. I love getting the opportunity to try food from other cultures and this restaurant does not disappoint. The lady that took care of us also told us the proper way to eat the dish we ordered when we asked which was really cool. 100% recommend!
