Beautiful food and atmosphere. Highly recommend getting the fish.
Das has been a family favorite for years. The delicious food and friendly service keep us coming back again and again. This place is a treasure.
Great food, great service. We sat outside on a summery April evening, ordered the fish (x2), shrimp. and the vegetarian (x2) and meat samplers for a table of six and the proportions were perfect. Thanks!
Fabulous authentic Ethiopian food. Equally fabulous service and attentiveness from owner. Will definitely return. Thank you!
Great authentic Ethiopian food. A Georgetown favorite.
Consistently great food.
Fantastic service! First time trying Ethiopian food and it was such a wonderful experience with absolutely delicious food. The server was very patient and helpful in explaining what she suggested we should try as I had no idea. One of my favorite dinners from my trip to DC!
Nice ambience, tasty , ordered a chicken dish, only 2 pieces with lots of gravy for the high price.
Excellent food and service. Food is unique and not for everyone but it was delicious
Absolutely the best food in DC!!! The vegetarian sambusa appetizer and split pea plate are not to be missed, whether you are vegetarian or not.
Fantastic dinner at Das last week. We had excellent service and truly enjoyed our dinner.
Delicious food, our waitress went above and beyond in recommending what to order. Cannot wait for a return visit!
Great food
Will return -- a very pleasant experience.
Why on earth do you require 50 characters here?
Very friendly and welcoming. The food was different but good!
Das had wonderful and delicious food although very pricey. They also had excellent service with great recommendations and friendly servers. My only feedback would be that their outside tables are very small which makes it difficult to fit all of the food on the table and everything is a little bit pricey compared to similar restaurants in DC.
Trip to DC
The restaurant refused to honor my reservation from Open Table. I booked a table for the evening of Valentines Day. The person at the front desk said he did not have a reservation for me. Once I produced my confirmation text from Open Table, he just shrugged and pointed to the dining room and said, "We're booked." No apology ... nothing but a shrug. It was embarrassing to say the least because I had a date. Thankfully, the Taj of India restaurant down the street has a table available. Very, very disappointing experience.
A quaint restaurant with exceptional service and delicious food.
Simply one of the best restaurants in DC. The food is fantastic. The service is off the charts and they have J. Lohr by the glass. Get the veggie combo and the fish!
Truly an amazing experience! From the food to the service it was truly unforgettable! You are warmly welcomed into Ethiopian Culture. The restaurant is intimate yet at the same time affords you the space to explore further explore Ethiopian culture for yourself. I will definitely be dropping in each time I find myself in GeorgeTown!
Realty loved the food. Wish tea came in a bigger size (like a carafe or pot) and can't wait to be able to eat indoors, both floors look very inviting!
Wonderful restaurant with great food and service. We ordered the chicken tibs (which were great but a little on the milder side) and the vegetable platter. Both were amazing and the vegetable platter was quickly devoured. We also tried honey wine for the first time and that was so delicious.
With COVID restrictions we were only able to eat outside and in 30 degree weather, that meant we were battling wind and eating in our full winter coats. I wish they could have made it a little more insulated, but they did have a patio heater. Will definitely come back in warmer weather to enjoy this great food!
It was outside but comfortable with the heaters. Staff was kind and attentive, food was unified and delicious
My 3rd time here, and it was as amazing as the first time!
Excellent food, best Ethiopian in DC. I think the ambiance can be better.
Excellent food and service!
One of my favorite places.
We were finally able to return to Das after a long covid-induced absence. The occasion was my wife’s birthday and this is one of her favorite restaurants in the District. Few Ethiopian establishments deliver on the trifecta of food, friendly service and sophisticated ambiance as effectively as Das. We were thrilled to be back and cannot wait to return.
This place has become one of my top 2 restaurants in DC. The food is amazing, the place is simple, elegant, and beautiful, and the service is great! Looking fwd to going back soon.
Excellent, small, elegant Ethiopian restaurant. The food (we tried the sampler) is very flavorful, full of different tastes served on top of the typical bread (sorry forgot the name). The service is very kind and courteous. I definitely recommend and will be back.
Beautiful space and the food was immaculate! Service and host were great as well. Will DEFINITELY go back.
Always delicious! Great staff!
Dad Ethiopian has THE best Ethiopian food in the DC area. We would highly recommend the veggie combo and the special tibs together. Excellent food and excellent service.
Not Authentic but more suitable for American crowd and appetite. Service was OK consideration Covid-19 situation but the food was not 100% Ethiopian as to the spices and the taste. I have had better but no complaints coz Im certain if the serve the "Real" authentic Ethiopian food, no one wud come and that's quite understandable.
So so delicious and SO reasonably priced and very safe during the pandemic!
So good!! Really enjoyed. Was our first time and food was amazing as was service. Would definitely go back.
Its always wonderful from start to finish.
It was my first time going there and I enjoyed it.
The service was excellent the food was orgasmic! We enjoyed it so much we came back the next day!
