• Ethiopian • Falls Church

Booked 5 times today

Ethiopian owner Meaza Zemedu, whose Meaza Restaurant, Cafe and Gourmet Grocery Store have been featured in such press outlets as the Washingtonian and the Washington Post, was born of humble roots. Meaza Zemedu started her business by supplying local Ethiopian stores with her home-baked injera bread, a crepelike staple of Ethiopian cuisine.Demand for the tangy bread grew, allowing her to open her majestic restaurant, which welcomes guests to dine on traditional Ethiopian fare. Northern Virginia Magazine heaped praise upon the menu, including the doro wat stew—the national dish of Ethiopia—which includes chicken, red pepper, garlic, and hard-boiled eggs. Many of Meaza’s dishes are flavored with purified, spiced Ethiopian butter, from the ye beg kikil—lamb stew in spicy sauce—to the kifto—ground beef traditionally served raw or rare and mixed with cardamom and a mitmita spice blend.

The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

We always have a great experience at Lyon Hall. The service is spot on and the food is always better than expected. The cocktails are amazing and the ambiance is friendly yet upscale. We’ll always come back to Lyon Hall twice per month.

Awesome, Awesome experience. I saw a review of this lounge on Instagram and I am super happy that I decided to check it out. The staff was super nice and helpful. This was first experience with hookah so I had no idea what I should order. However, my waitress explained everything with great patience. There was a young man who came around to refresh the hookah so I didn't have to worry about that. The food was delicious. I honestly can't wait to go back!

We brought a friend who had never had Ethiopian food before! Our server helped with selections of meat and vegetables! Our friend was blown away and my husband and I, who have had it often, loved it! Hope to go back soon!
