Shagga Coffee & Restaurant

Best Ethiopian restaurant in Maryland! I’ve been going to this spot for years now and they are consistent. They provide an authentic ambience, customer service is genuine, and the food is always hot and tasty. Every time I go, I always overhear a table discuss how good their meal is!

Yummy Yummy Yummy 😋
Amongst soooo many amazing Ethiopian in DC Shagga is stellar for the perfect taste. Not oily, not salty and of course golden standard of injera. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Delicious Ethiopian food! Everything we tried here was great- we go the shagga combo which was enough to share between 3 people. It was pretty busy on a weeknight so I’d recommend a reservation if you are planning ahead!

First time trying this restaurant! Absolutely delicious, food was tasty, warm and fresh! We did take out but would love to sit down next time!

We have tried a few different Ethiopian restaurants in MD and VA and this one is still our favorite. The combo meals are the best bang for your buck and haven't found any other place that does the combos similarly. You get three meats as well as as veggies! The staff are very welcoming and I'm sure they can do substitutions as needed. The quantity of food you get is great and everything comes out hot and fresh. And of course, the flavor is amazing and all are delicious.

Went here with vegan friends and we all had the vegetarian sampler. The food was absolutely scrumptious. The staff were gracious and lovely and the atmosphere was very pleasant with really nice music playing. I highly recommend this restaurant! We'll definitely be coming back!

I was set to go here with a SC friend and treat her to a belated birthday lunch. After TWO weeks of planning this back and forth through email/text she forgot and was at Renn Fair 🙃🙄 (which had multiple dates by the way.) I was suppose to treat for her birthday. Now that's def being on hold/postponed.

So, I went by myself. The décor is beautiful! Lots of authentic Ethiopian works and a few customers came while I was also there. A cute Asian guy and a White couple, so it brings a pretty diverse customer base!

The food is plentiful and I took home leftovers. I got the Yebeg Alicha and Potato Alicha (side.) It came with 2 extra
Injera!

The only things I'd change would be 1) going with someone who wants to go or have fun alone, 2) the music is a mood killer and sappy sad music on repeat, and 3) the mango OJ is bottled and I thought it was house made. Go alone or with a friend, who can go too! Authentic Ethiopian music would have set this restaurant apart. Please alert customers you have bottled drinks. (My hopes were kinda let down more 🙃.)

Parking is okay, wish it was flatter/bigger but at least it's free.

It's gonna be my spot for Ethiopian food now, whether alone or with company!

I have now been here 3 times and have loved it every time. Food is delicious. I had the vegetarian combo plate and loved every flavor. The spicy tea was a great complement. The service is fast and friendly. Prices are right especially given that I always take a bunch of it home for a 2nd small meal. My daughter always gets the fish stew and loves that.

Delicious spot to eat, enjoyed every bit of it. The portions are quite large so leftovers are guaranteed. I got the Veggie combo which comes with everything pictured. Only slight issue we had was during the shift switch and we were left waiting for some time. Definitely recommend this spot if you're in the college park/ route one area.

The food was amazing. I ordered lamb with the veggie combo. Out was exactly what I was looking for. And I had to take some home. The servers were very nice. It felt like the food took some time to come out, but that's not a negative. Just don't come if you're feeling like you're starving, lol. I am not from the area, but if I was around I would stop by again. And the pricing is spot on!

Very good food, service, and establishment. The vegetarian combination for one was $13. The dish came with large portions and all food ordered was freshly made. I love the music choice of a simple piano, it added a relaxing atmosphere.

So much fun trying all of these different vegetarian entrees, and everything was so delicious! This was more than enough food for 2 people and under $30 after tax. What a deal! Our waitress and all the staff were very friendly. Can't wait to come back!

Interesting food, but they charged extra for rice without letting us know. Still, mostly great service and delicious food. Lamb was especially delicious. Will come again!

This food was banging. The server Jamil was very friendly and quite attentive. I ordered the lamb ribs platter. It comes with a tomato and lettuce salad. The dressing is mixed in and it is bussin. I will definitely be back. Located right on Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) between the Exxon and 7-11. Thanks Jamil for the great customer service. Five star treatment and delicious food

This place was a nice experience. When we arrived it was empty, but you can dine in - seating is limited (due to pandemic). We ordered the veggie combination (I got to choose four different veggies options) and the chicken and beef meat combination with two veggie add-ons. The flavoring of the food was authentic to someone with a novice palate like myself... In other words, the flavors were great! Our waiter was very soft spoken but nice and got us what we needed. I would come back again

It was my very first time coming here with my boyfriend. It was fantastic. The food was delicious! The lady that was at the front was friendly! The whole experience for me was awesome! Trying a different cuisine was an awesome experience!

This restaurant has been talked up to me for months and I’m glad I finally went. Just wow! There is no comparison to American cuisine that would make sense so please leave any preconceived notions at the door. All dishes whether meat or vegetable are full of flavor. If you have issue with spicy food you will need to let your server know. But for those of us who like to live, it is a real treat!

Love it! For two people we got the vegetable multi platter and meat combo #2 (lamb alicha and beef wot). The food was great and the flavors were fantastic. The meat was really tender and rich. The staff are also really nice and answered the questions we had. Great experience

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. Everything was great. I had the combination Beef Wot and Lamb Alicha, couldn’t decide which I liked more. The servings looked deceptively small but with the Injera bread, I filled up quickly and had to take a doggie bag home

Will definitely need to go back

They have the best combination of food and it’s affordable and the service is very nice. Don’t forget to taste the Sambusas (Appetizer). Sweet!
