    I was in the Alexandria area and know that area very well as I use to live across the street from Sora. I was looking for restaurants and this happen to pop up as I typed in restaurants near me. So what brought me to this restaurant were the highly posted reviews. The cleanliness was impeccable. The food was extremely tasty and delicious. In fact I tried to order a second plate however the owner was busy with another customer. Sora was well deserved this 5 star 🌟 review. YUM yum!

    The food is excellent, fresh, and cooked with love. Prices are very reasonable. They always give me the best services when I visit. We usually stop there on our travels. The staff are very friendly. The place is clean. Addis, the owner is very caring person.. She is the best. Fresh and tasty. A must Ethiopian restaurant to eat at.

    This place creates really good Ethiopian food. I got the kitfo, raw, some stuffed peppers, some lentils, and extra order of teff injera. I highly recommend this place. Cheers! Pic shows qey sr (beets, potatoes, and carrots) and gored gored (raw beef cubes). One of the best gored gored I've had!

    Great food! We ordered the beef tibs and veggie platter, and the food was excellent! So was the service. It felt like having a home cooked meal at a loving friend's house! Loved the coffee too!

    Everything was amazing! The owner took time to tell us about the cuisine. We’re new to the area and she talked to us for a while and gave good advice. Service was outstanding! This will be our new go-to spot for Ethiopian cuisine!

    Great neighborhood location, very reasonably priced and the food is outstanding! Searing is limited to about 25, but carry out is available. Stop in for a meal or coffee and you will not be disappointed!

    One of best Ethiopian restaurants in Washington DC area. If you avoid alcohol and loud noise and want to enjoy your food in a laid back and calm environment, this is the place you choose. I ordered their five veggie combo and it is unbeatable both in price and taste. The host Addis is an Ethiopian beauty.

    The best Ethiopian food we’ve had in a while! We got the 8-veggies vegetarian platter.

    Tonight I introduced my sister to Sora' Sora's delicious veggies of the day combo and doro tibs. We dined in today, a nice change since I usually order careyout. As always the food was wonderful and the owner and staff were amazing. This has been one of my favorite comfort food go-to locations since they opened. I especially like their Veggies of the Day combo and awaze chicken, which is delightfully spicy, for carryout. This little cafe is spotlessly clean, and well-managed. Parking is tight, but spaces turn over quickly in the side lot, plus there's additional parking behind the building.

    We got the vegetarian platter and the beef tips with additional sides. Everything was flavored so well, absolutely delicious, and packaged so well for delivery. Highly recommend and will be back.

    I highly recommend Sora Ethiopian Market & Cafe on 5145 Duke St, Alexandria, VA 22304. The customer service is exceptional, and their Ethiopian dishes transport me back to the amazing flavors I experienced in Ethiopia. It's a must-try for anyone craving authentic Ethiopian cuisine. My friend and I both loved it Ethiopian Restaurants.

    The food was so fresh and delicious. The servers were so attentive and kind when my friend and I (who are clearly not Ethiopian) were having trouble deciding what to order. Can't wait to go back.
