"If your parents are the type to never ride solo—which means your estranged uncle twice removed or your cousin who they’re hoping you’ll mentor are coming to dinner—Ethiopic is a great pick. The popular Ethiopian restaurant on H Street offers communal seating great for big groups. Drink glasses of honey wine while acting interested in family gossip. And while the portions here are smaller compared to other spots in the city, the service is great. It does get pretty busy here on the weekend, so if you're looking for something more intimate, ditch the crowds, and come on a weeknight." - omnia saed
