Wife called the order in and I picked it up. Had a little confusion with the new name change to Monarch Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar but once I realized the address was the same I went in through the front door. They have outdoor covered seating on a patio area and two people tables against the building. (There was a strong smell of cigarette smoke and a few men sitting on the patio; not sure if they were smoking but there were ashtrays one the outside two person tables). Food was ready and the employee was very nice and informed me the restaurant name changed since they were now serving hard liquor; so that's awesome for the future after the pandemic! The area appeared very clean and pretty...
I really liked the food at this restaurant, which I tried based on a recommendation from my Ethiopian friend. I was particularly happy to see that shiro was included in the vegetarian combo, as it is often not available at other places. The food was delicious and fresh, and the server was friendly. My husband enjoyed his beef dish, which was cooked to his preferred level of spiciness. We had a cold Habesha beer with our meal and still had leftovers to take home. I also made sure to save room for the black and white cake, which was a delicious chocolate layer cake sandwiched between two vanilla layers.
Pass by this place many times as it is in my neighborhood. Finally, gave a try on Sunday afternoon and not disappointed. The inside decor is pretty spartan with some decorations on the wall and simple tables and chairs. But, the service was good and the food was delicious. Lots of ethnic people eating here and gave me a good feeling. I ordered cubed lamb which came with Injera, a fermented Ethiopian bread shaped like pancakes. The food was good and tasty. The restaurant has a small grocery and a pastry shop attached. Good place to spend time in the pasty shop.
Came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The server was friendly and he answered any questions we had. It only went down a star bc they insist on certain tip though. We ordered tibs and vegetarian platter. There were five of us so we also added on macaroni with meat sauce and one more order of the tibs. The tibs were juicy, the shiro vege items well seasoned!... didn't get to try the desserts, maybe next time. Side note::: bathrooms are clean which says a lot about an establishment

Dama restaurant has the worst customer service experience I have ever seen. I was treated badly and they did not clean up properly. This place is not professional at all. I SUGGEST YOU LOOK FOR ANOTHER PLACE TO EAT DON'T WAIST YOUR TIME OR TASTE BUDS. They were absolutely rude at me and I will never go there again. When you go to Dama you'll get into Drama.
Not a fan. Especially when there are so many great Ethiopian options in the area. The tibs were burnt and we just threw them away. The doro wot also was overly oily. We tossed that too. The veggie combo was okay though. I came here previously when it was Dama and it used to be much better.
The food at this restaurant is delicious, fresh, and nutritious. My top choices of sides are the collard greens, yellow split peas, and spicy chicken stew. The service is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant is kept clean. They offer a wide variety of desserts to enjoy.
This Ethiopian restaurant is excellent and one of the best in the area. I wish they offered delivery services. They also have a small marketplace inside the restaurant where you can purchase supplies for cooking at home.

This place does not exist. It is called Monarch now and the hours are incorrect. I am here at noon on a Saturday and it is closed. No one picked up the phone when I called.
