"Run by a husband-and-wife team since 2010, this H Street spot prides itself on serving food prepared the way the owners eat at home; the doro wat features in-house-made kibbeh to finely tune the spice balance and is plated alongside a bright timatim of diced tomatoes, onions, garlic, and jalapeño. The cozy space is visually distinctive for illuminated columns stenciled with letters from the Ethiopian and Eritrean alphabets and draws both regulars and notable guests." - ByLenore T. Adkins
