REVIEW: Meskerem, Washington DC

(please excuse the blackberry photo)  If you've never had Ethiopian or Eritrean food you should definitely give it a try and if you live in DC you HAVE to take advantage- we’re really lucky to have such a strong Ethiopian/Eritrean community here. Well, on Friday Tanya and I went to Meskerem right on 18th street in the center of Adams Morgan. It was pretty fantastic. Traditional style of eating- samples of meat and legumes on a large injera (Ethiopian bread), you eat with your hands and sit at low seats and tables.

NOT a first date kinda place unless you wanna put all your cards on the table at once but a fantastic place to eat if you want something a little different.
Their shrimp was OKAY, I wouldn’t order it again though- and basically you can’t go wrong with any of the other platters.
