Das Ethiopian Cuisine

First time in DC ,and tried Ethiopian food for the first time — . This place is amazing, the food was so good . Best food I believe I’ve ever had ! Im not sure why I never tried it , maybe because the closest one to my home town is a 2 hour drive ! The Injera was a pretty cool, Im an immigrant myself so for me to try new foods is my go to !!! Eating with my hands felt like a sin ,but it was the coolest experience. **Injera is a sourdough flatbread with a porous texture, traditionally made with teff flour, used as both a plate ,and eating utensil. Staff was great, the atmosphere was perfect! I really wished I had more room to try the dessert, I can only imagine how tasty that would have been — next time I guess ! Im very happy to have randomly walked into not knowing how happy Id be leavin

We visited DAS Ethiopian Restaurant in DC for the second time with our family, and it was excellent again. The food is authentic Ethiopian and truly delicious. I especially loved the spicy beef dish the staff recommended—super flavorful and very spicy, just how I like it! Service was outstanding and family-friendly. Since we had our child with us, they immediately provided a high chair, brought out complimentary rice for the little one, and even offered crayons so kids could draw on the paper-covered table. These thoughtful touches made dinner so much easier and more enjoyable. DAS has also been recognized by the Michelin Guide with a Bib Gourmand award, which highlights restaurants that serve excellent food at a great value. Compared with very traditional spots, DAS keeps the cuisine au

We visited Das Ethiopian Cuisine on short notice today with a group of 22 people. We wanted to share this cultural experience with a group of high school students. Mesi was an especially kind and gracious host! We had excellent service and the dining was wonderful. We enjoyed the large platters and family style dining. We ordered the chicken and beef sampler, vegetarian sampler, and lamb tips. It was DELICIOUS! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and everyone left smiling and enjoyed themselves. The students dined and ate with their hands as is customary, and we noticed more conversation and minimal phone usage too, which was very appreciated. I would highly recommend Das, and want to say thank you for such a wonderful dining experience.

If you’re Indian, you may notice some familiar flavors in the cooking style. Trying the Ethiopian vegetable platter felt nostalgic — it even included some of the same veggies we avoided at home! Overall, it’s a great cultural experience and worth trying.

We had an incredible Ethiopian lunch experience, post a morning of walking through the Tidal basin, watching cherry blossoms. We got a few vegetarian entrees to share and one chicken entree among the non-vegetarians. The injira was soft, supple and delicious.
