Letena - Washington

I was starving today and decided to have a late lunch at Letena ?s Eithiopian Restaurant in Columbia Heights it was absolutely delicious. I had the Kay Siga Wot (which is basically beef sautéed in a flavorful berbere sauce with side orders of tomato salad , and cabbage. Awesome lunch ,awesome music and ambiance and excellent service .

Olay come on. We all on the same side, right? This is the only Ethiopian Restaurant that the city D.C. can be proud of. I only dine by delivery and packaging was elegant and more sustainable.

Best Ethiopian in DC. I write this having made the rounds. Fresh. Flavorful. Well seasoned. Plentiful. My advice: start with the broccoli avocado salad lentil samosas. Finish with the veggie sampler with a side of beef stew. Collard greens and mushrooms are the standout in my opinion. Great vibe. Good beer options. Super friendly staff. Have opinions; Will share

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. Taste and presentation were great! Service was patient and friendly, but a little slow. Definitely worth a visit.

Since there was two of us, we ordered a meat sampler for 2. A mistake in retrospect. Has 5 non vegetarian dishes and 2 vegetarian. The non veg ones are curries and start tasting like each other after a while. Lots of items missing from the menu. Definitely a filling meal but I am not sure I will return a second time. My companion who had never eaten Ethiopian in her life, found it great.
