Balagger Ethiopian Restaurant & Bar

Although the fish wasn't fully fried, the food was decent. I love the food. The only issue I had is that the waiter waited a while before bringing the check. Not very professional. Other than that, I will try again.

Some of the most delicious Ethiopian food I’ve had in Northern Virginia and the staff is so kind - will definitely be going back!

Absolutely delicious! I ordered their veggie combo from UberEats, which includes cabbage shiro, lentil kik alicha (stewed yellow lentils), spicy red lentils, green lentils, collard greens, and a salad. All of these dishes were served on a bed of injera, and the order came with another piece of injera folded up and left on top. Everything was incredibly tasty and, even after traveling about 30 minutes across Virginia, was still the perfect temperature. Ethiopian food definitely holds up well in take-out containers (even though it loses some of the aesthetic). I personally would've preferred that the spicy lentils be slightly spicier, but they were still incredibly flavorful and had a very slight kick. The salad seemed to just be lettuce, tomato, red onion, and slices of jalapeno with what tasted like a standard Italian dressing. I wasn't a huge fan of the large slices of jalapeno, but the salad was still nice and refreshing, and it helped to counterbalance how heavy the rest of the meal
