    My friend Shawn and I came in tonight for dinner and drinks. We had a platter of spicy beef, collard greens. The portions were so big we took half home. It was 21 for all of that deliciousness. I had a couple beers and a Sambuca that was $15 all together. It always fantastic there. The ambience is relaxed and the service is fantastic. I am sorry I can’t remember our server/bartenders name. She was wonderful. 10/10. Thanks so much ladies! See you soon!

    Amazing experience at Meda Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the coffee was great too. Our server, Yeti, was so kind and provided some of the best service I’ve ever had. Kind, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    This place is one of my favorite Ethiopian places in the DMV. I’ve been here many times and the food is always excellent. I recommend the Ethiopian combo platter, but make sure to add two meat dishes for the ultimate meal. For the meat, the awaze tibs are a must. 10/10
