Nazret is located in a strip mall of primarily Ethiopian restaurant, cafes, and businesses. The staff is really friendly and promptly brought our table a baby seat. We ordered the regular platter with awaze tibs and the veggie combo including lentils, spinach, and salad. The tibs were very flavorful and tender, and the platter came out with plenty of injera. They also serve Dashen beer imported from Ethiopia which can be hard to come by. Dashen is a crisp, light lager with a hint of hops. The only downside is the restaurant is a bit small so you may have to wait during peak hours. The parking lot is pretty chaotic but still has plenty of spots.

What a surprise to fall into this restaurant. The food was DELICIOUS!!! The restaurant was not too busy so we had options on where to sit. Our server was very attentive and answered any questions we had about the food options and what would be best for our date night. We had a fantastic evening and food, OMG, so so good!!

This is a monthly ritual for us. We love this place. We first came here looking for something different many years ago. We didn't know what to order. We just looked at everyone else's tables and just asked the patrons if it was good. We copied what they ordered and was amazed. We've never gone wrong with any recommendations. The restaurant is located on the backside of the shopping center. Be careful driving in the shopping center. Lots of potential holes. Food is great. My recommendation is to try something new each time.

Let me start by saying..I usually post more pictures, but each time I come here the food is so tasty that I forget to take a good picture. Nazret is top notch Ethiopian cuisine in the Alexandria/Falls Church area. I have eaten at a ton of various Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurants in VA/DC and I must say that Nazret has the best Shiro out of all of them. Chef Endalk is such a pleasure and always greets us when we are there to make sure everything was perfect . Highly recommend this spot if you love flavorful injera (their teff injera is some of the best) and Ethiopian cuisine!

If you're looking for amazing Ethiopian food in Virginia, Nazret Ethiopia Restaurant is highly recommended. The food is delicious, with authentic flavors. For the quality of the food, it is very reasonable priced in today's market. The service is attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone craving a taste of Ethiopian food! Vege platter is a must order!!!

To start I've never had an Ethiopia experiences before. You've got to stop by this spot, it's amazing. Everyone is friendly and nice. Music was great Honey wine is a must have with your food You should definitely try the DELUXE PLATTER (6 ITEM Vegi Combo) with Lamb tibs, Chicken Tibs, & Shinte Tibs).

EASY 5! A must try gem in the area! Everything we had was amazing!! We ordered the awaze tibs regular platter and everything on that platter blew my taste buds away! We also ordered the shiro fitfit and I can honestly say I have never had anything like that. Served cold with many depths of flavors. I also tried the Sambusa as an appetizer. We had a few leftovers and even after sitting in the fridge cold the leftovers were so tasty! I will be back very soon!

I had such a blast at Nazret! My husband and I decided to have a unique date night and it was definitely worth it. We decided to be adventurous and ordered a variety of dishes without knowing the portion sizes. We ended up having leftovers for days! This place offers happy hour every day and the prices for beers are really reasonable. Since it was chilly outside, I opted for a comforting cinnamon hot tea. We tried a combo meal and another dish with lamb, and both were incredibly delicious with amazing flavors. There were a few lentils we didn't enjoy and some were spicy, but overall, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. We're already planning a double date night here in the future!

We were in the area shopping and we were in the mood for some Ethiopian food. Nazret was one of the yelp recommended ones so we decided to grab some food for takeout. We tried the quanta firfir(dried beef bits and injera simmered in spicy stew), yebeg tibs (seasoned beef sautéed with peppers/onions/tomatoes), as well as the kitfo. 1. The quanta firfir: It was well made, the beef was soft but crunchy at the same time to make a perfect contrast with the soft/moist Injera, would definitely order again. 2. Yebeg tibs: I would order this again as well, the lamb was not over cooked, which I was really happy about because most places would have tibs with so much flavor but the lamb is over cooked. Personal preference: I would have liked more heat to it 3. Kitfo: the kitfo had a lot of spice and flavor but it was a bit oily so probably my least favorite item. 4. Sambusa: didn't get a chance to take a picture because we devoured the Sambusa on the drive home, it smelled amazing too. It was warm with the perfect amount of crunch on the outside and perfectly soft inside. The place is small but cozy, has good ambiance, it is filled with traditionally inspired modern artwork. we went on a week day so it was not too crowded. The owner was very friendly, he was actually helping serve people and he saw us waiting for our food by the bar so he made a point to chat with us and ask us about our experience. The bar is fully stocked! Would definitely would go back again when around the area!

This is our 3rd time here for date night. We love it! We drive all the way from Maryland each time. The two brothers who own the place are so friendly and always greet us. The service is great as well. The food doesn't come out super quick, but this is NOT a bad thing because it's made to order, fresh and delicious. It's nothing that can be rushed. My husband doesn't eat beef so they are always able to make a substitute with lamb instead with a reasonable charge. We love this place so much and tell all of friends to check it out.
