GourmetLiveJuly 6, 2011Food blogger C+C Marriage Factory recommends this spot for its amazing food and wonderful staff. The signature tibs (beef with onions, garlic, jalapeño, tomato, and rosemary), vegetarian sampler, andUpvoted 1 day ago
Washingtonian MagazineOctober 21, 2011Some of the area’s best vegetarian eating can be found here. The easiest way to sample the vegetable stews and sautés is to share a generously heaped platter on a round of injera.- EaterJanuary 23, 2013Though it's outside of DC's own "Little Ethiopia", Ethiopic has established itself as the place to go for traditional Ethiopian fare in a trendy and friendly atmosphere.

Derek FromsonJanuary 26, 2013More upscale than many of its Ethiopian counterparts, this is the place to experience spicy, long-cooked stews, the veggie sampler and the sizzling theatrics of meat-and-onion stir-fries called tibs.
CaraOctober 27, 2014Great place for Ethiopian outside the U St. area. A little fancier/pricier than most Ethiopian places, but always fantastic. Both vegetarian & meat dishes are equally delicious.
Riddhima HindujaJuly 27, 2015Amazing atmosphere, great for groups. Injera is delicious! And get the Doro Key Wat and Fosolia. Fosolia might be the best vegetarian dish I've ever had #justafoodie
Ben RSeptember 22, 2016A little nicer than average Ethiopian places but also a little pricier. Lamb tibs are excellent.
- Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012Ethiopian restaurants aren’t unusual in DC, but this is the place to experience spicy, long-cooked stews and the sizzling theatrics of the meat-and-onion stir-fries called tibs.
KatMay 25, 2015Absolutely fantastic and authentic Ethiopian food. Gluten free injera (like a sour dough pancake) for $4 extra- Saumya SahniDecember 17, 2018Sambusa is appetizing. Vegetarian sampler and lamb tibs are great. Slow service.
Stephen SandersAugust 30, 2014Excellent food at great prices in a very stylish atmosphere. First time? Try a sampler platter. It's enough for two.
Nate ThamesSeptember 4, 2010Go for the vegetarian sampler for two. 7 delicious veggie dishes and enough food to feed 3.- Brett WallaceAugust 25, 2013Right up there with Dukem. Cooler decor and the window booths are a nice touch.

RamyaAugust 10, 2014Friendly waiters and polite service compensates the average food and shortage of dessert availability after 9pm.
Delicious Ethiopian food. Probably best in city over Zenebech.

Susan YeeAugust 30, 2013It was tasty, but if you want a pre-dinner drink, do that elsewhere and then have your dinner.
Suzanne Vegan McQuaidApril 26, 2019Flavorful and different vegan sampler than what we normally wind up with.
PAt B resingApril 2, 2012Veggie sampler I, we ordered two to feed 3 people. Probably a weird choice, but those are the four dishes we wanted.
