I ordered takeout from this restaurant. I loved the vegetarian platter. One of the best I’ve had in DC and I order takeout Ethiopian food often. I wish It was in my DoorDash catchment area so I could have it delivered frequently.

A bar vibe with authentic Ethiopian food and hooka bar. Food is to die for if you’re craving for Ethiopian food and it’s worth it. So good.
