Zenebech Injera

On the recommendation of Tyler Cowen, I went with a friend last night to check out Zenebech Injera, an Ethiopian establishment lying a bit east of the gentrification frontier near the confluence of 6th, T, and Florida. I'd passed by the place in the past and never gone in since it looks profoundly unpromising, and even though it's close to my house there are almost a dozen more proximate Ethiopian restaurants. I wouldn't quite give it the unqualified endorsement ("This restaurant with two tables is now the best Ethiopian place in Washington") that Tyler does, but the Doro Wat is unquestionably the best I've had in town. I like the titanic tibs at Madjet more than the lamb tibs I had at Zenebech. The place is definitely worth checking out if you like Ethiopian food and don't mind a total lack of ambiance.
