Enat Ethiopian Restaurant

Very tasty, and a convenient location for us. Also very reasonably priced-- too reasonably priced, frankly. We left a big tip. The Enat Combination with a good assortment of legumes, meat, and vegetables plus a sambusa for each of us was a generous dinner. They do close quite early on Saturday (9 pm) and seemed to be having a friends and family gathering after hours which meant front-of-house hurrying us along out of there. I sort of felt like a gate crasher.

Came here for a celebratory meal and was not disappointed. I'll return for a humdrum meal. Lunch or something. Soon! Food was well seasoned and slightly spicier than the handful of other East African places I've been. It is welcomed. Injera was nice & tart. Service was quick and friendly. Not much to it. How to achieve 5 stars? Not that kind of place. How to achieve 5 stars for atmosphere? Not that kind of place. There is a bar and an area that turns into a dance floor (evidenced by disco ball). Lots of stuff packed into small space. Was that a butcher shop in back?

The rare affordability and great quality is what makes this place noteworthy. The sambusa were freshly fried and very flaky, I preferred the beef to the lentil because I thought it had better seasoning. The Enat Combination plate was large and had a nice variety of options. They gave us lots of injera and it was excellent, everything was well done. Service was average.

Came for a weekend lunch, having heard great things about Enat, and this restaurant more than lived up to expectations! Service was remarkably fast, the food was all fresh-cooked, and the veggie combo was massive. It could easily feed two people with food to spare. I had a good time and will almost certainly be back again. :)

Great size！One entree is enough for 2 people. We liked the combination plate and it’s a lot! We went there on a sunny day. The large glass windows to the east side makes the seatings really warm like if you’re in a greenhouse. The inside also smells like sandalwood perhaps because of the incense or spray. Generally speaking, it’s a good experience.

I ordered from here before and so grateful they are open on Sunday. I drive up from Olympia area because I crave the amazing traditional dishes cooked with love. Everything is great portions for sharing, but the kitfo is all mine. It is not too salty, and not under seasoned. The mitmita balance is my level of spicy!
