Authentic Ethiopian food, rich stews, flavorful tibs, and veggie combos
"Consistently ranked as one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in the region, Beteseb features a welcoming dining room with live music and plenty of injera to go along with the fun. Try the derek tibs with chunks of lean beef and sauteed with onion, tomato, and green pepper (served mild or spicy). Or sample one of several vegetarian and vegan dishes; the ever-popular veggie combo features five combinations of misir wot, kik alicha, atakilt wot, ye gomen wot, and shiro wot." - Tim Ebner
"Silver Spring has no shortage of good Ethiopian food, but Beteseb distinguishes itself with food bursting with flavor and spice. The injera is made entirely from teff grain — unlike many American-adapted versions that incorporate wheat flour. It’s open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Thursday and until 10:30 p.m. on Friday to Sunday. Try the breakfast firfir combo (scrambled eggs, seasoned cracked wheat, spiced bread) or the buttery bula porridge." - Tierney Plumb
"Silver Spring is home to one of the largest concentrations of Ethiopian restaurants around D.C., and there’s no better option than Beteseb. Order up the kitfo — spiced raw beef — and vegetarian platters, then use tangy injera bread to scoop up cabbage, collards, and spicy lentils." - Tierney Plumb
"Located across from Ethiopian markets in downtown Silver Spring and anchored by a large mural of Addis Ababa, this warm, modest restaurant offers a mid-level-spice doro wat that can be made hotter on request; the dish arrives with a zesty green salad to cut the richness, and diners often pair it with imported Ethiopian beers such as Castel, Habesha, or St. George." - ByLenore T.
