So a couple weeks ago I decided to try the Ethiopian restaurant/bakery. The general area around Centreville doesn’t offer much in the way of anything fun to do, but it does have lots of places to eat.
Anyway, I’m glad I did. The place was pretty small, and it smelled pretty funny what with all those spices completely unfamiliar to me, and the food was also kind of funny tasting at first... but in retrospect it was probably the best new thing I’ve had all year.
To be honest, I’m not sure if I could convince my parents to try it, though. It’s finger food (I could smell it on my fingers for the rest of the day because my technique was not very refined). I’ll be back when I can afford it, though.
I think most people around here would imagine you have to go to Adams Morgan to find something out of the ordinary. That’s just not true.
