Lonely Planet review

To many folks, Adams-Morgan means just one thing: Ethiopian food. You can eat it at several restaurants, but the leading place is Meskerem, named for the first month of the Ethiopian calendar. This place goes for an exotic atmosphere, with traditional woven straw-basket tables and camel-leather hassocks. Use your hands to sample beef, poultry, lamb, seafood and vegetarian dishes, which are served on whole-wheat injera (pancake-like bread).
