While DC sports several Ethiopian restaurants, Das Ethiopian may be the only one with white tablecloths. But don’t worry, you’ll still get your hands dirty inside, thanks to the native culture of foregoing flatware in favor of injera, the spongy bread from the region that’s used to scoop and sop up anything on your plate. That could be anything from Ethiopian-style short ribs to spinach and rice with chicken infillay or beef zizil tibs. Don’t worry if you can’t traverse the menu; helpful waitstaff are more than ready to jump in with recommendations, or just help you navigate your way to something special. Vegans will find much to love, with a wide assortment of meat and dairy-free options to choose from – plus all you can eat bread, of course. Beyond the tablecloths, this charming eatery shines with plenty of natural light, high-backed chairs and touching black and white photographs.
