5.030 reviews$$$$Indoor/Outdoor973 Columbus Ave, New York, NY 10025
Our injera is available gluten-free, and nearly every item on our menu is naturally free of gluten, so you can enjoy traditional taste without compromise.

Awash Ethiopian Restaurant
When Awash opened its first restaurant in 1994, the idea was simple: show America what Ethiopia has to offer. Using traditional cooking techniques and motivated by the lack of Ethiopian representation in New York's restaurant scene, we brought features from the realm of dining in Ethiopia to the busy streets of the Empire State.
