"This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and to be honest I can't think of anything to compare it to (and I mean that in the best way). Our meal was great, portion sizes were very generous, and the family who owns the place were probably the kindest people I met during my DC trip. Highly recommended!"
- Cole P.
