Das Ethiopian
Ethiopian
A Georgetown townhouse makes an unlikely but perfectly comfortable setting for an Ethiopian restaurant, with warm fabrics and earthy tones softening the colonial bones of the place. The menu moves between traditional preparations and combinations that can catch an experienced eater off guard, and vegetarians are not an afterthought. Order the combination sampler and let the injera do the work; the range of heat and texture across one plate is quietly impressive.
