    Everyone knows U St. for Ethiopian, but that doesn't mean there aren't great places off the strip. Meskerem is a DC classic that beats plenty of the more well-known joins on U.

    Great Lamb, amazing mother and child, spicy and delicious tomato salad, but the lentils were a little cold and undercooked. I'd definitely come back, though.

    Fun atmosphere and great food! The sampler platter is a ton of food and lets you try a little bit of everything.

    Go for the spicy, buttery kitfo, Ethiopia's take on tartare.

    Get the Ethiopian Stout. I always get the imported 'local' beer when eating out at these exotic places and this beer was hands-down the best I've had.

    Great atmosphere. Most places have better enjera though: here it breaks easier.

    Now serving Enat Ethiopian Tej (honey wine). Not the best I've had, but much, much better than the others.

    First & last visit. Save your money & make your way to Etete on U street or Ethiopic on H street or any of the others for that matter. Placed was dirty & food was mediocre. Service C+.

    Eat with your hands and don't fear the injara. Ethiopian is a DC delicacy.

    This was marginal Ethiopian food. Even with the Scoutmob 50% off it was not worth it. Food was very bland, vegetable were over cooked and the injera had no flavor. This was very disappointing.

    Avoid this place unless you like the tourist version of Ethiopian food. U Street is a better bet.
