Outstanding Ethiopian Cuisine!
My experience at Ra Dash was outstanding! We ordered the qanta firfir and asa dulet, and both were absolutely delicious. This family-owned restaurant serves some of the freshest and lightest Ethiopian food I’ve had. The flavors are authentic and delicious, and the dishes are not heavy at all. I highly recommend Ra Dash to anyone in Seattle looking for amazing Ethiopian cuisine!

Average Food, High Prices, Inconsistent Quality
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was just average, yet the prices were high. It felt like they only cook their best dishes for regular customers. If you’re not a frequent visitor, the quality is noticeably worse than what people show online or talk about. We were even told the owner and main chef weren’t there, so the waiter ended up cooking our food, and she admitted she didn’t really have the skill for it. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Exceptional Ethiopian Dining Experience!
My experience at Ras Dashen Ethiopian Restaurant was truly wonderful, exceeding all expectations from the moment I arrived. The food was absolutely delicious, rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and authentically Ethiopian. Each dish demonstrated clear care and attention to detail in its preparation. The service was excellent; the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect throughout the meal. Their friendliness and menu knowledge enhanced the experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and energetic, reflecting Ethiopian culture's warmth. A special touch was the owner personally greeting us, being incredibly friendly and engaging, even joining in a dance, making the evening unforgettable. Ras Dashen offers an outstanding combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a joyful atmosphere. I highly recommend it and eagerly anticipate my next visit!

Delicious Spiced Tea & Veggie Platter
My experience at the restaurant was delightful! I enjoyed a delicious spiced tea and a prodigious veggie combo platter. The natural lighting and jazzy tunes created a pleasant atmosphere. I especially loved the gluten-free teff options, making it a great place for gluten-free folks. The Dashen Combo was recommended, and the price per person was between $10–20. It's highly recommended for vegetarians and suitable for all group sizes. The food and atmosphere received a 5-star rating, while service got a 4-star rating.
