I\u2019ve tried about ten of the other items and they are all above-average, no huge surprises but consistent freshness and quality. So this is definitely one of the better Ethiopian places, it is also the most &#8220;westward&#8221; really good Ethiopian place, and has nice ambience and decore.  Weekends they run a buffet for 430, with lots of Ethiopian dishes to sample. Friendly service, though like many Ethiopian places it can be slightly slow. Definitely recommended.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/yeshi-kitfo\/\" title=\"Yeshi Kitfo\">Yeshi Kitfo<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/jd-ethiopian-restaurant-and-bar\/\" title=\"JD Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar\">JD Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/nazret-ethiopia-resturant\/\" title=\"Nazret Ethiopia Resturant\">Nazret Ethiopia Resturant<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/ethiopian-food-in-ethiopia\/\" title=\"Ethiopian food in Ethiopia\">Ethiopian food in Ethiopia<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/eyo-restaurant\/\" title=\"Eyo Restaurant\">Eyo Restaurant<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dama Ethiopian Restaurant Pastry and Cafe, web site, 6669 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA (an offshoot of the Dama place on Columbia Pike in Arlington), 703-333-2819.
