"The city’s only fine-dining Ethiopian restaurant serves the best beef tibs you’ll find in DC alongside some spectacular people watching—both in the dining room and along M St. What’s fun about Das is that it combines the family nature of Ethiopian cuisine with crystal wine glasses and white linen tablecloths. You’ll see people dripping fresh, colorful shiro wat, lentils, and cabbage onto sequined dresses and designer shirts while trying to impress their partner’s parents. Thankfully, the food is so good that no one cares if things get a little messy." - joe brantlinger, tristiana hinton, omnia saed
