One of the nice things about living in the DC area is discovering how delicious, group-friendly and inexpensive Ethiopian restaurants are. While Etete receives rave reviews from the Post, I thought the restaurant's tables were too close together and very loud. Madjet had good tibs, but they looked closed when I walked by. Recently a group of friends gathered to go to Dukem on U Street.

Spinach Sambusa $2.50
Fried on the outside, it's a different recipe than their vegetable sambusas from previous visits.
Reminded me of a cheese-less spanakopita. Hot and delightful.
Combination Platter (6)
Tibs, Lamb Wot, Doro Wot (chicken), Minchet Abesh (ground beef in ginger and garlic sauce)
cottage cheese, cabbage, collard greens, yellow lentils, tomato-jalapeno salad, red lentils ($31.95)
This was enough for 3 people.
Special Vegetarian Combination (12) $19.95
Cabbage, collard greens, green lentils, yellow lentils, red lentils, tomato-jalapeno salad, potato salad, chickpeas in spicy sauce.
