Toki Underground
You’re going to wait in line at Toki Underground, and it’s going to be worth it.
DC is filled with Ethiopian food, and Ethiopic is one of our favorite places in town to get it. It’s a spacious and modern spot on H Street, but the dishes are traditional and you’ll be scooping them up with injera instead of a fork.
Even with the lack of utensils, Ethiopic is the type of restaurant that works for almost anyone. Your vegetarian or gluten-free friend can get the excellent vegetable sampler or a salad, and you should definitely go for the lamb timbs. Come for a group dinner, or a date who already knows you have no hand-eye coordination. When it’s nice out, eat on the patio for some good people watching.
