The 9 Best Ethiopian Restaurants in Washington DC

"Dukem is one of DC’s most recognizable Ethiopian restaurants in the city. It’s been around since 1997 and is an important part of the culture on U St and in DC at large. On the weekends, this place is bumping with folks from all parts of the city. You’ll find youths pregaming and uncles and aunties drinking Amber beer—in other words, locals that have come to Dukem for as long as it's been open. The food is good though the portion sizes have slimmed down over the years, and their injera, which they also sell in a storefront next door, is fantastic when made and served." - omnia saed
