We celebrated a birthday with family and friends at Dukem on U Street, and the food was as fantastic and authentic as ever, with amazing spices and herbs in every dish. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the service was fast, and I loved that they open earlier on weekends-definitely looking forward to going back soon!

My first time trying Ethiopian food. It was just delicious. I recommend this restaurant for first timers and try one of the combos.
