Everybody eat good food and drink water and love your mamas if you can and forgive yourself regardless ahahah bye ??? go with the flowwwwww☄️?⚡️??❤️
A cute family style Eritrean restaurant near Dupont Circle in Washington DC. Friendly staff and tasty dishes! The dishes and stews were flavorful and fresh. They also offer American style breakfast, but I encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and try a new dish here. Vegetarian friendly. If it’s your first time trying Eritrean cuisine, don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations. Plenty of options for meat lovers, vegetarians, and vegans alike.
This is my second time eating Ethiopian food and it was a true delight. I was feeling under the weather and needed a wholesome nutritious meal and decided to get their Special Shiro. It was creamy, flavorful, scrumptious. I was also pleasantly surprised when I found out my order came with an extra of Enjera bread filled with their lentil sauce and spinach. Thank you for a wonderful culinary experience!
So, SO good!! I just wish my friend and I ordered one dish to share instead of struggling to finish two. Food came out quickly, and the service was friendly.
We dined at lots of great places in DC during our week-long vacation, and this was by far my favorite. It's a small, nondescript space in need of some updating, but it's also the kind of place where you think mom or grandma might be in the kitchen preparing the food. When we got a peek into the kitchen that suspicion was confirmed. The food was SO good - expertly prepared with perfect seasoning balance. It was also plentiful, and very well-priced. The service was warm and friendly. This is not a fancy place, but for a casual breakfast or lunch you won't find anything better. First on my list when we come back to DC.
I would say Keren is the best breakfast spot in DMV. I would always go there anytime any day. Very cozy and reasonable price. Check them out you won’t be embarrassed.
Great prices for an authentic meal. For newbies to the wonders of Ethiopian cuisine, go for a veggie combo or the Keren special to sample as many things as possible on a heaping platter of Injera, spongy Ethiopian flatbread. A perfect place to grab beers with friends while you share a plate of Tibsi and other treats.
Okay service. We were given a menu, and when we received the bill, the price did not match the price on the menu. So I checked online and double checked with the manager, and they said they just changed to a new menu, so the prices were higher. I didn’t want to argue, so we just accepted it, but prices are not accurate on their menu or website. Beware
Lemlem is truly the most hospitable business owner in the city. The spicy red lentils are a must-have, and she sometimes makes me doro wat if I call ahead. ??
After hearing raving reviews from our friends, we finally tried this place…..which quickly became our favorite Ethiopian place in the city. Get the Ethiopian beer, it’s tasty and cheap!! The meal was fabulous and Uber filling. We got there right at the right time because it became packed on a Friday evening!
