"Heat Da Spot, a beloved local gathering spot in Petworth, serves some seriously good breakfast. Come to this Ethiopian restaurant for things like ful and chechebsa, fried flatbread marinated in spiced butter and berbere that’s peppery and crispy in all the right places. There’s a down-to-earth charm about this place, which realistically should probably only seat about 30 people, but is often hosting double that amount. On the weekends, you’ll find people lounging on the gold couches and the mismatched furniture that decorate the space, so be prepared to hunt for seats." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras
