"Authentic, flavorful, beautiful presentation and generous portion with a fair price point Several options to choose from Servers sometimes have to work the bar and tables so wait time can be a little longer and they may not be as attentive to refilling drinks etc. but very prompt if you get their attention. Upside is they are not at your table constantly so it is easy to enjoy your meal and company without feeling rushed or interrupted as often as traditional American dining (personally I prefer this)."

"I’ve been a long-time customer at this restaurant, but my patience has run out. Like many other Ethiopian restaurants, this place has no sense of urgency or accuracy. The service is painfully slow, and the staff consistently gets my order wrong. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve asked them not to put aybe (cheese) in my dish — at least 10 times now — and yet, every single time, they ignore this simple request. It’s beyond frustrating and shows a complete lack of care or attention to customer instructions. Waiting over an hour just to receive the wrong food is unacceptable. I’m extremely disappointed and would never recommend this place to anyone."

"Really tasty Ethiopian food with 5 star service. Waiters were patient and helped us order for our big group. They were also accommodating for the kids with us. Highly recommended in Silver Spring."

"I was at Sheger to get the special beef combo (kebet). When I first entered the restaurant, there were no clean tables, so I just sat at a random unclean table. After that, no one greeted me or took my order for more than 20 minutes, and all the chairs were unorganized. After a long wait, someone finally came to take my order, but he didn’t clean the dirty table. When my friends arrived, the food finally came, but we received the wrong order. We had to put napkins on the table to avoid getting our clothes dirty. Overall, the service was really bad. They need to work on it unless they want to push their customers away."

"This is a great spot in Silver Spring with authentic Ethiopian food and rich, comforting flavors. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a nice place to sit, eat, and enjoy the experience. Service is friendly, and the café has a genuine, home-style feel that keeps me coming back. Highly recommended for anyone craving Ethiopian cuisine."
