Ok so I went back to Eatopia yesterday after a long days work. I had been craving it after the 1st time I went. It was perfect too because it was jazz night! ( mondays). I ordered the vegetable combo platter again, the whole fried tilapia again but this time I added salmon tibs! Everything was AMAZING!!!! Dj, the manager, was there making sure everyone had great service. They were so kind and patient. Even once I was done with my food, I sat there maybe another 30-40 minutes to catch up with some work on my phone and let my belly settle. I was STUFFED! needless to say, Ill definitely be back! This is the only Ethiopian restaurant ill probably eat at for a long while

Came here to eat after a show at the Lincoln Theatre with a friend. We ended up getting the Digis Ultimate Communal Platter because it was a mix of a little bit of everything. It came out and was so big it basically took over the entire table which was great considering the price. All the food was delicious and I would definitely order it again. I like that it's a little more upscale which is something different.

YES. So good. Toasted injera is a revelation. Cheeses: don't miss them. Mushroom tibs w cabbage side... mmmmmm. Server is lovely. Jazz is lovely. 10/10.

Eatopia Eatery sits on U St NW between 13th and 14th St. However, as soon as you walk inside, you easily forget where you are. The vibe inside has an upscale feel with low warm lighting throughout and dark walls filled with artwork. They also play low music and occasionally light incense. The customer service was great. During our meal, the owner occasionally walked around and checked in on guests to ensure their experience was good. We started with spinach sambussas and tuna kitfo. The spinach sambussa didn't have a traditional look, the breading was softer, longer and cut diagonally; just an overall more upscale presentation. The tuna kitfo was surprisingly good. It's minced and raw but the flavor was so good and smokey; it comes with collard greens and injera. For our main dish, we decided to go with veggie communal platter as well as a deep fried whole fish. The whole fish was my absolute favorite. It's full of flavor and filled with onion and green peppers. Everything was very tasty. At some point, I made my way to the restroom and was thrilled it was spacious, clean and smelled nice. The water came out automatically and hot when I went to wash my hands. That was a nice surprise since I've gotten used to expecting cold water. Overall we had such a great experience. The owner suggested we return for brunch and we noticed they advertise live jazz on Mondays from 7-10p. I will absolutely return and highly, highly recommend!

Keeping it short and simple, just go. Atmosphere, food, presentation, service, entertainment (Mondays) all great. 10/10, can't wait to return.

Eatopia has stolen my heart! From the moment we walked in, the experience was incredible. The food was absolutely phenomenal--each dish had perfect flavor, texture, and taste. We started with the awaze tibs, which were incredibly tender with just the right amount of heat and flavor. The portion size was huge--definitely enough for two. The veggie combo platter was a highlight, offering a delicious mix of salad, collard greens, cabbage, red beans, lentils, and more (I'm probably forgetting something, but everything was so well-seasoned and tasty). The wait staff was on top of everything. We didn't even notice our injera getting low, but without asking, our server quietly came over to refill it--small but thoughtful touches like that made a big impact. The honey wine here is a must-try--super smooth and flavorful. There was also a live band, which added to the vibrant atmosphere. The interior is decorated with beautiful artwork that really adds to the experience. The only downside is that parking can be tricky depending on the time of day, but it's absolutely worth it. We can't wait to come back and try more

Im soooo glad I discovered @eatopiaeatery on U Street yesterday. Meeting the owner and enjoying their delicious homemade honey wine made the experience even more special. The ambiance is warm, open, and truly family-driven, with the husband managing the front, the wife running the kitchen, and the mother-in-law contributing to its charm. The spicy red lentils were the best I've ever had, and the dohuat sauce was exquisite. The location is convenient, and the space is spotless--including the squeaky-clean bathroom, which I always consider a sign of a well-run establishment. I'll definitely be back. #FOODIES #FoodiesDC #ethiopianfood

I'm a huge fan of Ethiopian cuisine and the DMV has many options. I recently saw this restaurant on social media and had to come check it out. Absolutely worth a visit! They're fairly new - about 7 months. It's asthectically pleasing and the customer service is amazing! The artwork is a very nice touch. The vibe is very classy and modern. Our server was attentive. The manager came around to check on us. I got the awaze lamb tibs! It was delicious - spicy and flavorful. I needed extra injera and they were very generous. My friend got the vege platter and she was pleased with her meal. There's a full bar! They have the honey wine but I didn't get any this time. They offer specialty cocktails. Thank you for a great experience.

When they say "Love is in the food"...they mean it!! Ethiopian food is by far one of my favorite cuisines. I've been to a ton of different restaurants, some of which were in the U street area. This is by far my absolute favorite!! Not only is the food out of this world, the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. It's grown and sexy with lots of cultural touches. It's a great spot for a date, girls night out, or special occasions. For me the highlights were for sure the food, but also the service! We had an amazing waitress who helped with making our food selection. For the two of us we went with the meat Sambusa (comes with 2 cut in half), the veggie combo, kitfo, and the Eatopia Tibs (these were the most flavorful and tender tibs I've ever had). This was definitely a lot of food for the two of us, but it allowed us to try a bit of everything. I can't say enough great things about this place. I really hope more people discover this gem and make it their go-to Ethiopian spot. They have Jazz on Thursdays and a DJ on Fridays. When we left around 8pm on a Friday night it still wasn't very packed. I'm sure in time this won't be the case. I can't wait to get back. Welcome to DC, Eatopia!!
