Reviews for Bete Ethiopian Cuisine & Cafe in Silver Spring, MD

We got carryout from here after not having Ethiopian food for way too long. It was delicious!! We got the vegetarian sampler... (the smaller version) and the most delicious sambusas - crispy and filled with lentils. They only had 2 of those at the time,they were making more. But they were so good. Highly recommend. Read more

First time trying Ethiopian food, the chicken and tea were both great, service was good as well despite being busy.

Great food and great service! Ask for Ash; hope they make him a permanent manager soon because dude sure knows how to design a... cozy outdoor space Read more

This app needs a 1/2 star. As this wasn't a 4 but it wasn't a 5. It was a solid 4.5 The sizzling beef, fajita style dish is... amazing. It goes by the name of Yeshint tips. Fabulous. 5 out of 5. Awaze tips were good. They were a 4/5. There is still someleft on the plate because I ran out of room in my belly. The best veggie dish are the carrots and potatoes in some sorta fingerlicking good orange sauce and the beets. Service sucks. Super slow. So prepare to wait. But knowing that a head of time, stillcome early cause the food is solid. Read more

If I could give them a zero star I would. Service was horrible! I’ve never had to leave a restaurant ever. Waited for an hour... and 10 mins to be served and got nothing. We never got water served to the table. I had to get up and ask for a menu. They tookforever to take my order, I had to get up and order. After ordering it’s took another 40 mins, still no water and no food.They are horrible. Read more

Really excellent food, such a pleasure to chat with the owner too. Go out of your way and eat here. I got the beef tibs and was... blown away at how perfect the texture was for my preference. Read more

Delicious food and friendly staff. Our waiter was very attentive. Entrees are ideal size to share with a date. The amount of... injera bread that comes is generous, you won’t leave here hungry! Will definitely come back to support this localestablishment. Read more

Group of four having our first Ethiopian dining experience on a Saturday evening. Nice spring day and got a free parking spot... right out front. We took one of their outdoor deck tables (not much to see other than a giant parking garage), and the waterarrived instantly to give us paper menus (sorry apparently only took a picture of one side of the two) and took drink orders. Hewas very friendly, explained everything to us (nothing too exciting other than no utensils and eat using the bread), and checkedin often to see what we needed. Drinks and food were quickly delivered (but no pressure to finish quickly). They had some localwine and bottles of Ethiopian beer. Food was beautifully presented, is more filling than you may initially expect (we had acontainer full of leftovers), great spices without being too heated, and a wide variety for communal sharing. We were allpleased and had a great dinner. Read more
