The 9 Best Ethiopian Restaurants in Washington DC

"If you’re looking for a place to grab a chill lunch, Family Ethiopian is your spot. It’s bustling at dinnertime, but the crowds are smaller and the restaurant calmer during lunch hours, which makes it the perfect place to dine solo or catch up with friends while Ethiopian music plays in the background and sunlight wafts through the windows that span the length of the front wall. Have a seat in the bright yellow chairs and admire the traditional and handcrafted art while you wait for your food, which is fantastic. Be sure to get the catfish tibs, seasoned with onion and garlic, and the deluxe veggie platter with impressive portions—the largest we’ve seen at Ethiopian restaurants in the city." - omnia saed
