Best Ethiopian Restaurants in Washington DC

Lovely experience, amazing food, attentive service. Highly recommended

We split a sample plate. It was over-the-top spectacular! It had something like 10 Virgen dishes and for meat dishes. Each one of them was unique, perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and highlighting the individual ingredients. It was served with the Ethiopian flatbread sourdough, which was also perfectly Prepared, light and spongy. There are Ethiopian pieces of artwork which were beautiful to look at. There was only one waitress for the whole restaurant, but she kept up amazingly well! We enjoyed the entire experience.

The food was delicious but the service was slow. We waited a half hour before we received our drinks. I had to ask twice for our check because we had an event in the area.

We brought a friend who had never had Ethiopian food before! Our server helped with selections of meat and vegetables! Our friend was blown away and my husband and I, who have had it often, loved it! Hope to go back soon!

Letena was a winner from start to finish. The servers were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and well-presented and the ambiance was just right. We got the veggie sampler and our granddaughter ordered the beef tips. Both were outstanding. Bravo!
