Vegetarian, next door to Genet. Zero ambiance but the food...sigh...absolute heaven for any veggies or vegans in your life, plus it's unbearably good for omnivores as well.

The restaurant we frequented was introduced to us by an honest-to-goodness Ethiopian, so I'd say that was a good thing. Love the food. So how excited was I to learn that my hometown had it's own Little Ethiopia? Unfortunately, my experience at Nyala had me running for the hills. Unbelievably bad service - dinner took more than an hour to be served and it was COLD. I just don't understand, and won't bother going back. I'll just wait until the next time I'm in DC for my Ethiopian fix! I was introduced to Ethiopian food while living in Washington DC, where I am told a very large population of Ethiopians live.

Fairfax Ave., also has an Ethiopian market next door). Merkato was very good. Though I'm not sure if this always happens--it was me and two other people, and the big plate of food on top of the injera, plus more to scoop up the food with. We were all really hungry and were making a quick meal of the food, when all of a sudden we were incapacitated by how full we were! It was like the injera had expanded in our stomaches...

The flavors are "brighter" in Genet's dishes. I eat way too much when I'm there though and the injera is notorious for expanding in your stomach. Meals by Genet 1053 S.

I'm curious about which place you think offers the best Ethiopian food. Please tell.
