Zed's Ethiopean Cuisine, Georgetown, D.C.

Neither Brian nor Riley had ever eaten previously Ethiopean food, so after my convocation at GU, their shopping excursion, and their "pre-gaming" at Johnny Rocket's with double cheeseburgers and fries, they, Ryan and I wandered over to Zed's Ethiopean Cuisine for a little session of eating with our fingers.

Zed's is always consistent and I think one of the better places for newbies to experience their first taste of foods from Ethiopia.

We started with a shared appetizer of shrimp tibbs, a slightly spicy sauteed dish of shrimp served, of course, with injera bread as an eating utensil. Then we ordered a combination meat sampler platter and a combination vegetable sampler platter for everyone to share. These have been previously photographed and posted, so I won't repeat here.

For dessert, Ryan and Riley each had an order of profiteroles coated in chocolate. Brian had the coffee ice cream tartufo.




Good thing we only ordered enough food for two, since the four of us didn't even finish what was on the platter!
