Beteseb - Silver Spring

The food was really good. easy parking nearby. very affordable and service was great

Experience was meh. Mid. I’ve had better in MD. There’s better even on that same block. Literally…I had the beegees after eating here.

OMG the food at this place is fantastic! Our favorites were the doro wat and the red lentils (I always forget the name of those), but the beef tibs were also lovely, as were the mixed veggies (cabbage, carrots, etc). We were impressed that all of the injera was made with tef, as our local Ethiopian places say it's too expensive to do that these days. The servers are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is pleasant and unfussy. I would definitely check it out if you are in the area!

One of our favorite places nearby that has just the right combo of cozy atmosphere, consistently good food, friendly staff, and heck, they have a glass encased wall of beer. They have an eye on all their guests.I know people have their own preferences for injira, but we like the taste, texture, and soaking up ability of theirs. We like the crispy beef tibs combo of the roasted tomatoes, onions, and beef is very good. We usually get the veggie combo platter and the meat and veggie combo to satisfy the whole family of four, plus a meat dish. The lamb is tender and delicious as well. We try a new dish each time and they have all been delicious so far.I had an unfortunate run in with their salad that came with the combo, so maybe unfairly, I usually shy away from that.Parking is sometimes tricky, depending on the day. There are parking lots nearby and street parking. On some evenings cars are double parked as the street is popular.This is a restaurant that is confident and comfortable with their food and are happy to share it!

Recommended to me by an Ethiopian colleague. Food was good and reasonably priced.
