I took my wife and son. We got the veggie and meat combo. The food was amazing and the service was great. They were very pleasant and attentive. We ended our meal with a coffee, which I would definitely recommend. We will be returning. read more

Are you tired of eating the same few cuisine all the time? Sushi and burger and the usual? Well, venture out and try Ethiopian food. 1. Reservation: recommended if you are coming on Friday or Saturday. 2. Food: very good - Enjara: the bread made of teff. it is very unique and it was my first time trying it and I loved it - collared green was good - yellow split beans were excellent options for vegetarion dish - red lentils were unique in seasoning. 3. Drinks they have full bar, mixed drinks and beer and wine options are available. 4. Service: very nice and welcoming 5. Extra: they serve their Ethiopian drink Tej is an aded bonus, it is nothing like I know. Technically a honey-wine. 6. They have LIVE MUSIC! call and check with them. Artists usually come on Saturdays. Cannot wait to check them out. Highly recommend!! read more

I realize that I'm disrupting the unanimous 5 star reviews for this restaurant, but I'm not being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian - call it 3.5/5. The good: - The veggie sampler was very flavorful with a wide variety of vegetables. There were an ample amount of herbs visible (big sprigs of rosemary). The collard greens in particular were a standout, because I usually don't like collards at Ethiopian places - They were very generous with the amount of Enjera bread provided, I didn't have to ask for more like at some other places - Service was friendly The bad: - My derek tibs were overcooked beyond belief. I know that they're supposed to be crispy, but these tibs were cooked well past well done. They were basically dark little hard rocks of beef jerky on my plate that I had to force down and drown with sauce - The cabbage was very disappointing: I'm used to eating the hell out of the alicha at Ethiopian restaurants, but I didn't even finish the underseasoned, limp cabbage here - The service was spotty at times. The waiter seemingly forgot that I had ordered a beer until near the end of the meal. And then when I was trying to flag her down to get the check, she was zoning out and staring into space This place has potential, but is not nearly a 5 Yelp star restaurant read more

Really good solid Ethiopian food. The last few Ethiopian places I've had were salty and the food didn't seem fresh. Coming here, the food was fresh and cooked well. I ate a ton and had a great appetite. Def recommend it here... read more

Excellent food and service. They even make their own honey wine in house! highly recommend.

Excellent food and service. We stopped in about 4:00pm on a Saturday and enjoyed a veggie and meat platter and sambusas. Awaze tibs nicely spiced. Perfect injera. Will definitely be back to enjoy another meal. I meant to take a picture but we ate too fast--one of the best places outside of Addis. read more

Hidden gem just under our noses. Everything was cooked to perfection and flavorful. We had a party of 3 and ordered one meat combo ($60) and one veggie combo ($20) and there were still leftovers. We also got 2 bottles of homemade honey wine ($35 each) that was subtly sweet with a touch of effervescence. They're not on DoorDash yet but we will def be back. Their owner Nibert is so sweet and attentive. Stop by and check it out! We will definitely be back. read more

Great food and even better service! Awaze tibs were amazing just the right amount of spice

This restaurant has moved to the H Street corridor at 12 & H NE , really enjoyed the restaurant service and ambiance were delightful definitely going back read more

Unbelievably disgusting service. The store says they're open from 11AM on Fridays. I ordered on grubhub and the restaurant accepted the order and when I got there at noon on a Friday the door was locked and nobody was there and the sign even said they're open from 11AM on Fridays. Horrendous to be so deceitful and unreliable. read more

Best Ethiopian food that I've had in decades! Wonderful restaurant, fantastic service, and a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours.

Just moved here and I have found my go to restaurant. I've never had Ethiopian food but I chose this place because of local (convenience). I love the food, staff was nice, drinks were tasty and I did enjoy myself!!!! read more

Food was delicious and customer support was a 10/10. I would definitely recommend coming here! Excellent theme of a restaurant!

A goto place to enjoy Ethiopian cultural cousin with warm hospitality and ambience. A place I recommend to people open to new experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Feru, named after the lovely owner. My husband and I shared the vegetarian platter for two, which came with plenty of injera. Service from Feru herself was warm and welcoming. Ethiopian music played at a nice volume in the background. We happened upon someone's birthday, and he ended up sharing his cake, a cream-filled pastry, light and delicious. We will definitely return. read more

Great, authentic food. Excellent service. Definitely a good bang for your buck. Will be a new frequent stop.

Amazing food, amazing service and ambiance! Nibret was such an amazing host!! The best Ethiopian food I had!

Came here randomly on a Friday. It's really nice inside with all the fresh flowers. Our food was so delicious too! The waitress asked if we liked spicy and brought a container of jalapeños, which was nice since we could adjust spice level. We ordered the veggie combo and a fish entree and it was more than enough food for two. We liked the spices on the side that we could add as well. Would come back! read more

Had a wonderful lunch the other day at Feru. We came upon the restaurant by accident but what a great accident. The food was delicious, the people lovely and for me, best of all, they had teff injera readily available. This may not sound like a big deal for most people but I love Ethiopian food and unfortunately I have a medical condition that prohibits wheat products, so regular injera is a no no. If you love Ethiopian food, are gluten free and looking for a place to go in Alexandria, I heartily recommend Feru. Also looks like a fun place to spend an evening and live music may be available. , read more

The dishes were delicious ,every bite was heavenly. The best Ethiopian restaurant in DMV area.

This place is a must if you enjoy Ethiopian food or it's your first time trying it. It was my first time yesterday and it was phenomenal. The service is great, our waitress helped my friend and I navigate the menu and it goes without saying that it helped us choose the best dinner meal I've had in weeks. read more

Really enjoyed the food. I've been to a few other places in the DMV area Feru is a "stand-out" to me. It is a bit out of the way for me but worth the drive. read more

Everything was great! The ambiance, the service, and of course the food. My visiting friend and I went here to catch up and we were so happy with the experience.
