We went on Friday buffet night. The selection was wonderful. The food was flavorful. My wife had the buffet and ordered lamb off the menu, as well - all was well prepared and presented. Amy came around to each table and offered fresh vegan chocolate cake - it was a wonderful ending to a GREAT meal. Highly recommend this place. We will return often!!
This place is my new favorite spot. The owners are the nicest people. The atmosphere is very friendly. I can see myself coming to this place for a lazy Sunday brunch many times. I had the beef nibs, which were fantastic. Very tasty and fresh ingredients. The coffee is amazing. It's the real stuff, not the watered down Starbucks stuff most people like. I'm coming back to this place very soon.
Relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, lots to choose from on the menu. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Will definitely go back!
Our family has dined at Amy's Ethiopian Restaurant twice & both times our meals were amazing! We have ordered the 2 meat sampler which is plenty for our family of four ( two adults & two kids). The chicken and beef are wonderful and our favorite veggies are the ater (split pea stew) and shiro (chick pea stew). Our 9 year old loves the dinich wot (potato stew). The Injera bread is so delicious! After dinner, I really enjoyed a cup of the coffee. It is seriously the best I've had at a restaurant or coffee shop in Nashville. Finally, I want say that the staff at Amy's Ethiopian Restaurant are so friendly and welcoming. I recommend going there for lunch or dinner if you want a truly delicious meal!
Outstanding! Alex and Amy are the best! I try to swing by once a week. Some of the best food in Nashville! Great atmosphere too.
First time trying Ethiopian. I likes the experience of using the Injera instead of utensils to pick up food, but the spongy texture of weird and after a while I just couldn't handle the sour taste anymore.
First time eating Ethiopian cuisine and I was very pleasantly surprised. Lightly spicy that builds on the palate and at the back of your mouth.
Appetizer was a Sambusa - a fried meat filled pastry with a tomato chili dipping sauce. Light pastry, savory beef, yum.
I had the Alicha Wot (lamb stew) and the flatmate had the Key Wot (beef stew). My side was lentils and his was potato stew.
They come on Injera bread which is an interesting, spongy crepe like pancake that is both wrap and utensil.
Here’s the breakdown:
Lovely, enticing aromas +1 star; great music (I love reggae) +1 star; delicious appetizer +1 star; fast and friendly service +1 star; awesome main course +1 star.
I will, 100%, go back
This is my second time eating Ethiopian food. The first was right outside the country of Ethiopia so I feel as though I know good and authentic Ethiopian food.
Is the food authentic? Yes, very authentic. If you haven't tried this type of food before then be ready for a great mixture of spices/seasonings. Also don't expect silverware. They give you a spongy bread that you tear off and grab and dab the food.
Is the food good? Yes, very good. I tried the main lamb entree and the all vegetarian platter. Both were very pleasant.
This place also offers a vegan buffet Friday evenings.
I have been coming to Mrs. Amy’s for years now and it’s always good. The service is wonderful, the staff are great, and the food is DELICIOUS!
The food is always fresh. The restaurant is clean and well kept.
Absolutely love it.
I've been wanting to check this spot out for a while now and recently had the opportunity.
Started with the lentil sambusa, then had the chicken tibs awaze. OMG! So good.
So glad to have this gem in the area.
