18 Black-Owned Restaurants in Washington DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"With one of the largest Ethiopian communities in the country, great Ethiopian restaurants in the city are not in short supply. And some of the best DC has to offer can be found at Letena in Columbia Heights. When you order the vegetarian sampler, you get a beautifully plated meal full of vibrant vegetables that’ll have you thanking whatever higher power you believe in for bringing you this far. And it’s not just the food. The restaurant is painted in warm hues of orange with rustic lanterns and framed art pieces lining the walls. After a few cups of honey wine and an order of the silky tiramisu, you’ll leave feeling buzzed and blessed." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
