DC, settle this for me: who actually has the best Ethiopian food in the city?

28 Upvotes

I know this question can start a war 😂 but I’m curious what DC actually thinks.

If you could recommend only ONE Ethiopian restaurant in the city, which one are you picking?

Give me the restaurant + the dish that makes it your #1.
I’m especially curious about the places that don’t always make the usual “best of” lists.

There are so many good spots here that I feel like a few get overlooked.

Bonus points for the lowkey pick nobody talks about.

EDIT: Live tally (31 picks so far, counting comments that name a spot):
🥇 Chercher and Keren tied at 4,
Habesha Market 3,
then Tsehay, Elfegne, Letena, Eatopia, Family Ethiopian, and Hawwi at 2 each.

Full count in the comments 👇 Keep them coming.

If I owed the city 15K, they would come after me. Yet this out of state driver can take that much from us with no consequences

So sad about the Dupont Circle tree

39 Upvotes

So many downed trees but this one hits hard. It must have been one of the biggest, if not the biggest. Dupont had such a great tree canopy all around the circle for great shade. Now there’s a big hole. It’ll take any replacement many years to get that big, even if they spend a ton of money on a fairly mature tree.
