Reviews for Massawa in New York, NY
The atmosphere is beautiful and the wait staff are very nice. The 3 stars are only for atmosphere and wait staff. I have never... had Ethiopian food before and I went here because of the reviews, but the food had no flavor at all. I was prepared to have anexplosion of delicious flavors and was extremely disappointed and actually very shocked. It was honestly the most bland foodI’ve eaten. The person that came with me had Ethiopian food before and told me she’ll take me some place else for the realexperience. I ordered the chicken and she had the lamb. Read more
Such a lovely place with tasty food! Has an outdoor protected from the wind area and quite large indoor space. We ordered a... vegetarian sampler with lamb and salmon and it was way enough for two people. We could not finish the food but it was so good,especially spicy lamb! We also tried a rum cake which was just ok but then i do not have a sweet tooth so perhaps sweet loverswould appreciate it more. I have to say that the menu has many drinks options ranging from mimosas (for those who like festivebrunches) to different teas and coffees. I highly recommend this great food stop and will be back myself for sure! Read more

The food was delicious! I would definitely return and recommend a visit to Massawa. My friend had the lamb, my son had the... shrimp and I had the salmon. All came with with white rice and a potato dish that consisted of carrots and cabbage. My friendordered okra with her meal which I sampled and enjoyed. I had chick peas with my dish, it was pureed and spicy by choice. Isampled my son's shrimp and decided if I return I will order that, not that the salmon isn't worth ordering again. The shrimpdish had a somewhat sweetness to it. The restaurant setting is nice and intimate. We ordered just after 3pm and was still withinthe lunch window. The three meals and two cups of tea cost $61. Read more
The food is delicious and the restaurant wasn't crowded. It's a really nice spot for lunch, dinner, hanging out with friends, or... having a romantic date. It's not often that I come across Eritrean cuisine and I love it. Read more
Excellent Ethiopian food, I found it to be very close to Indian cuisine. The use of spice in the food was good and the Injera... (was like dosa) was tasty as well. Good ambience and friendly host. I hear that the restaurant has been there for over 30 years.Good going, that ???????? Read more
Really good Ethiopian food! The menu is a bit confusing, but one dish per person was plenty for dinner time. I don’t think we... actually finished all of our food. Each dish comes with sides, so it becomes loaded quickly. They also have an awesome happyhour with $6 cocktails. That alone makes me want to eat more Ethiopian ???? Read more
