My coworkers and I had a great, authentic Ethiopian experience, including the wonderful coffee ceremony. Haben’s service was excellent and made the meal even more special. We will definitely be back!

I cannot say enough good things about my meal at Meda. If you are a fan of traditional Ethiopian dishes, you have to try their raw meat; it is expertly prepared and absolutely top-tier. We also ordered the Goden Tibs, which were sizzling, rich, and completely amazing.
​Beyond the fantastic food, the service truly stood out. Our waitress(Haven) was highly professional, exceptionally helpful, and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. A phenomenal dining experience from start to finish!
Just had an amazing experience at Meda Coffee and Kitchen and I had to share it 🔥
We tried the raw meat, gas light, and derek tibs—everything was absolutely on point. The flavors were rich, authentic, and seriously unforgettable. If you know Ethiopian food, you already know… and if you don’t, this is the place to start.
What made it even better was the vibe. It’s summertime, so we sat outside, had some cold beers, and just enjoyed the weather. The whole atmosphere was perfect—chill, lively, and just a great spot to hang out with friends.
Shoutout to Brook who works there—great service and really made the experience even better.
It’s also a very cool spot for families and anyone who wants to try Ethiopian food for the first time. The environment is welcoming and makes you feel right at home.
Customer service overall was super cool and friendly—they made us feel comfortable the whole time.
If you’re looking for a fun summer spot with good food, drinks, and a laid-back vibe, this place is definitely it. Highly recommend!

Delicious and fast service. I’d stopped in for coffee before but was grateful to be able to enjoy a full meal here today. There’s a variety of delicious meat and vegetarian dishes at a good price to share with friends with nice music playing. I especially enjoyed the lentil dishes and greens.

What really sets Meda apart is its versatility. Whether you’re committed to a whole-food lifestyle, exploring vegan options, or sticking to keto, they’ve created a menu that meets you where you are without sacrificing flavor. It’s the kind of place where everyone at the table can find something they genuinely enjoy.
And then there’s the customer service—easily A+. The staff pays attention to the small details in a way that makes each visit feel personal. They don’t just serve food; they create an experience. Every time I go, I leave thinking, “Yep, they did it again.”
If you’re in Arlington and looking for a place that consistently delivers on quality, flavor, and care, Meda Coffee and Kitchen is one you don’t want to miss.
