Review by Dexter Miller

Abuare Bar and Restaurant offers a delightful Ethiopian dining experience that truly satisfies! The sambusas, both veggie and meat, were crispy and bursting with flavor - definitely start your meal with those. The injera served with the meat special was light and perfect for scooping up the well-spiced dishes.

The staff made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality. The cozy ambiance paired with live music added to the charm. And don’t skip the baklava for dessert! Such a unique find in DC... 🍽️
