Eating Local Is Easy — and Rewarding — at Old Maryland Grill, Says Tom Sietsema | Eater DC

"At the second location of the popular Silver Spring restaurant I feasted on irresistible injera soaked in traditional sauces and would recommend eating slowly and keeping the pinches small. I kicked off the meal with a warm, flaky sambusa filled with spicy beef; favorites on the extensive vegan combination platter were the stewed string beans with carrots and the twice-cooked lentils called azifa. Omnivores should order the doro wat—bone-in chicken in a rich, red berbere sauce that reminded me of a Mexican mole—or the flavorful (if a little too chewy) lamb or beef tibs, and I closed with warm, buttery, honey-sweet baklava. In short, flavors are deep and exciting, the food is fresh, and the atmosphere and service are pleasant, so give Lucy a go." - Tierney Plumb
