The food was good and approachable if a little spicy. We loved the short ribs.
One of the best and authentic Ethiopian restautants. The owners themselves are on top of everything from cooking to customer service.
One of the pioneers of Ethiopian restaurant in DC metro area and very well frequented by Ethiopians, locald and visitors.

Dukem Ethiopian Restaurant is a pleasant dining spot that offers a relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing detailed recommendations when needed. The menu features a variety of dishes, including the popular combo #6, which is recommended for those who eat meat and want to try a little of everything. Many dishes taste like they are made with memories, with injera that is perfectly soft and tangy, and flavorful, soulful options like doro wat and lentils. The energy in the room is lively, with families talking, laughter, and strangers becoming friends over shared plates. The restaurant has a festive and fun atmosphere, complemented by Ethiopian music that makes the space inviting. Although portions may be small, the food is great and there are plenty of vegetarian options available, including the 7 veggie platter. The service is prompt and friendly, making the experience enjoyable despite minor issues with orders. Overall, Dukem Ethiopian Restaurant is a great place to enjoy a cultural meal in a warm, welcoming environment.
