Zenebech Injera - A very yummy place
Zenebech Injera, 608 T Street NW, Washington, DC, 202-667-4700 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [evite | Yelp]
This restaurant with two tables is now the best Ethiopian place in Washington. It is better than Adams-Morgan, better than the 9th Street row. Especially if you don't mind hearing them grind up meat in the nearby back room.
Every dish is excellent and the flavors are simply more real. Get the raw kitfo, and you do need to ask for it spicy otherwise they will notice your possibly pale face and dumb down the food accordingly.
Oddly this place is right next to Thai X-ing, which has only one table and is the best Asian restaurant in town. DC is finally developing the right mix of high rent and low rent districts to support such entrepreneurial ventures.

This place is closed right now, I went there a week ago.

It's re-opened now - I got takeout last week. They gave the interior a minor facelift, but it's still basically just a takeout with a couple of tables. The kitfo is still superb, and since it's that time of year, the tomato and jalapeno salad was an unexpected highlight.
