Ambassador Restaurant — Restaurant in Washington

I was feeling sick with the flu and staying at home when someone recommended I try Ambassador Restaurant. I called to place my order and explained what was recommended to make sure I got the correct dish—Shiro with Injera—and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, hot, and comforting, giving me the energy I needed while I wasn’t feeling well.

What I loved most was how easy it was to eat. When you’re sick, it’s often hard to swallow food, but Shiro was smooth and perfect for the moment.

What truly impressed me was their incredible hospitality. The owners treated me like family! Along with my order, they sent an orange 🍊 with the driver, which I hadn’t even ordered.

I try to call back a few times, but no one is picking up the phone call. I would highly recommend anyone to not come here if they want to be ripped off and secretly charged after they leave. I respected your establishment, but the fact that you go and do something as underhand as this is just...

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...
