Ethiopic

Ethiopic is a popular restaurant on H St that serves great Ethiopian food. Inside, take your pick of big communal tables that are great for catching up with friends or smaller, more secluded tables ideal for a first date. The mood here is captivating. You'll find yourself pouring honey wine in a room surrounded by rattan woven baskets and lanterns that flow from the ceiling to the floor. Ethiopian jazz plays quietly in the background, while candles flicker at every table. And while the portions here are smaller compared to other spots in the city, the service is great. It does get pretty busy here on the weekend, so if you're looking for something more intimate, ditch the crowds, and come on a weeknight.
