Ethiopian fare and market
Habesha Market and Carry-out
Why locals love it
There are many amazing and authentic Ethiopian joints around this town, and it can be hard to know which is the best. Habesha Market is U Street corridor's best for both dining and carry-out, as well as market staple items. Not only is Habesha likely the best Ethiopian food in town, but it's probably the most affordable.
Why you should visit it
The storefront is a small dive, with some shelve space for Ethiopian market items--spices, beans, hand pies, exotic drinks. The kitchen is open to two small dining areas (the place probably sits about 30 people). This dive is packed with regulars every night. They are there to be your Ethiopian family kitchen for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Special tip
The veggie and meat combos are the best bang for your buck, plus you get a bite of all the great foods!
