    The Little Ethiopia Food Tour was specially designed for the adventurous eater. Some of the restaurants we visit are ‘hole in the wall’ spots, that focus on the quality and authenticity of the food, rather than the particular ambience of the restaurant. All of the restaurants were built and maintained through hard work and perseverance that resonates the pride of a people that have faced adversity yet managed to succeed. We will traverse through the center of Ethiopian life in Washington DC, located in the heart of the historic U Street and Shaw Neighborhoods. The 19th century neighborhood houses some of the area's very best and most authentic Ethiopian restaurants. Your Food Tour may include the following specialties: • Traditional breakfast • The Ethiopian National dish • Deep fried lentil appetizers • Fresh cottage cheese • Homeade breads • Coffee ceremony • Traditional meat and vegetable dishes • Hand Made hot sauces and spice blends • Italian influenced Desserts

The food is delicious and the history is rich. This was my 3rd time on this tour. There were only 3 stops this time, but the food was outstanding at each stop. The walk between restaurants was quite long, it would have been nice to have smaller stops in between, even if just for some local history or chat about the architecture. Our guide, Christian, was very knowledgeable and fun, but the group size (14) was probably too big. Overall I recommend this tour, but adding another stop and getting restaurants a little closer together would be nice. Maybe adding a soul food stop as part of the tour could expand on the neighborhood's history and add some variety.
