Disappointing Ethiopian Food Experience
As another African and lover of Ethiopian food, I wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really good. The service was okay, but the food was a 4/10. The prices were high and the portions were small. I am new here, but last week I tried Adey Abeba and it was superb, with great portions and great flavors, etc. , so I would recommend them instead.

Incredible Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely incredible! We ordered both the meat and veggie combos, and they were both fantastic. We were also advised by the server to try the fish, which turned out to be an excellent recommendation. The overall sentiment as we left was that it was so good, a sentiment echoed by everyone in our group.

My experience at Shewa Berr was truly amazing. Mike and his team went above and beyond to make our large group feel welcome. They were incredibly accommodating and hospitable, ensuring everyone had what they needed. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and flavorful. I highly recommend Shewa Berr for anyone looking for great food and even better hospitality!

Authentic Ethiopian Experience with Great Flavors
I wanted to experience food from various countries and decided to try an Ethiopian restaurant. Upon entering, the restaurant was clean and the server greeted us kindly. It seemed like all the other customers were Ethiopian, which made me feel like we had found an authentic place. Although it took a little while for the food to arrive after ordering, the dishes served on a large plate were generous and looked appetizing. We ate by wrapping the meat and vegetables with the bread underneath, though I requested cutlery as the locals seemed to eat with their hands. It appears cutlery is not provided by default. The meats were cooked to a perfect tenderness and seasoned appropriately. Even though it was my first time trying this cuisine, I could eat it without any hesitation. The lamb had a curry-like flavor that was quite good. It's a place worth visiting for a unique experience when you're tired of your usual meals. The food was easy on the stomach, and the service was good.

Great Ethiopian Food and Welcoming Service
My experience exploring Seattle led me to one of the great Ethiopian restaurants I have encountered. Mike, the owner, was very nice and welcoming. The food menu and the restaurant atmosphere were both appetizing. I had a great experience ordering the Shewa Combo!
