"This combination carry-out, restaurant, and market owned by three Ethiopian brothers is open all day and evening, but it’s a mainstay for breakfast starting at 8:30 a.m. Visitors begin their day with ful, featuring mashed fava beans alternately heated and cooled by jalapeños and yogurt, as well as kinche, a savory bowl composed of cracked wheat and spiced butter." - Tierney Plumb
"Habesha Market and Carry-Out is the spot to hit when you want to take your food back to the warm confines of your bed. The Shaw restaurant is well-known and beloved by locals—one of those places you can confidently place your to-go order without worrying about the quality of your food. With extremely generous portions and some of the lowest prices in the city, Habesha is great for feeding the whole family or any big group. The cherry on top is that they’re open from 8:30am-11pm on weekdays and close at midnight on weekends." - omnia saed
"Highlighted as a place to find Ethiopian favorites such as beef or lamb tibs and stewed chicken doro wat, cited among key Ethiopian destinations in the Little Ethiopia area of Ninth Street NW." - Eater Staff
"Ethiopian to-go is a game changer, and very few places do it as well as Habesha Market and Carry-Out. The Shaw restaurant is well-known and beloved by locals thanks to generous portions and some of the lowest prices for Ethiopian food in the city (combos will run you around $14-15). The cherry on top is that they’re open from 8:30am-11pm on weekdays and to midnight on weekends, making it possible to indulge your craving for beef tibs or shiro at almost any time of day." - omnia saed
"Habesha Market and Carry-Out is the Ethiopian spot tourists haven’t heard of yet, which is quite the find in a city known for its Ethiopian food. That said, the Shaw restaurant is well-known and beloved by locals, so don’t spill the beans. With $11 vegetarian platters teeming with lentils and collards, the restaurant is a great spot for feeding the whole family or a big group. The cherry on top is that they’re open from 8:30am-11pm on weekdays and until midnight on weekends, making it possible to indulge your craving for doro wat at almost any time of day." - omnia saed
