Our friend introduced us to this gem out on 9th and U street – Habesha Market and Carry Out. We were in the mood for Ethiopian food and this hit the spot. It is more of a fast food, cafe style place and it was quick and delicious. Karthik and I shared the vegetarian platter that had about ten times on it. It was the best Ethiopian food we have had in DC thus far. The greens were buttery, the red lentils were adequately spicy, and we even tried new dishes such as a tomato and onion stuffed jalapeño and a beet curry. We don’t have much to say about this place besides “why aren’t you on your way there right now?”
They also make their own injera and sell it in the little store inside the market. We use it as a substitute for naan or roti when we eat Indian food.
For two people, the huge platter plus a soda came to about $13.95.
