The Best Ethiopian Restaurants In DC (The Infatuation)

From a quiet fine dining destination to an H Street spot with fried chicken made with berbere, these are our favorite Ethiopian restaurants in DC.

Das Ethiopian Restaurant

Das Ethiopian is the only fine-dining Ethiopian restaurant in the city, so expect all the frills and niceties: soft lighting, elegant decor, and glossy table settings. Enjoy the people-watching through the windows overlooking 28th and M streets while sipping honey wine from crystal wine glasses at tables draped in white linen tablecloths. The food here is outstanding, and their beef tibs are arguably the best in the city. The only caveat here is that the portions are smaller than other Ethiopian spots in the city. If you don’t mind counting your injera then you’ll be fine.
