  The true definition of your friendly neighborhood restaurant; From the food to the amazing service to the relaxed atmosphere, this is one of the best places available for you to try in the area. I’ve been here now more than 10 times, and every employee I run into apprehends me with a smile, friendly voice, and cheerful attitude; This evening, I decided to try the pasta with meat sauce, and it did not disappoint - In fact, it truly was even better than I had prepared myself for. Do yourself a favor and come check out some amazing genuine Ethiopian cuisine and vibes here in the heart of Silver Spring!

  I'm a teacher at a local school and reached out to Elsi Ethiopian Restaurant to order food for our school's annual Social Studies Night. The owner was very generous and matched our order with a donation. All the food looked delicious, and the families who attended our event all enjoyed it. We can't thank you enough for your support!

  Absolutely loved Elsi restaurant! The vibe was cozy and welcoming, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff made us feel comfortable and checked in regularly without being intrusive.They have cultural Ethiopian coffee and multiple varieties of drinks with melody musics. Every dish we ordered was delicious, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients and put care into their food. The menu had a great variety, and everything arrived quickly and beautifully presented.
