Had this on the "to visit" list long before Covid. There was a fire that shut it down for months on end, they re-opened, and then the plague hit. And so there was a certain amount of anticipation in finally being able to go there. Much like my tour of Columbia Pike I got a veggie combo and Sambusa. The Sambusa was outstanding. Complex, layered textures and flavors with a delightful dipping sauce made it something to savor. There was crunchy, soft, spicy, warm, sweet and a slight tang. The veggie combo was more so-so. Portions were small and some items had nice seasoning but nothing stood out as being memorable. I tried getting the standards. There was the Atar, a yellow split pea dish. It was listed as mild but was so mild that I tasted only the split peas and none of the ginger or turmeric. I got the Mesir, a spicy Berbere red lentil dish. It had nice heat and was, as usual, one of my favorite pic...
A lacto-ovo veggie for "many" decades who loves to eat, thought I would share the good news (and bad) about veg-friendly restaurants in the DC Metro area, as our city is currently experiencing a renaissance in food options. Enjoy! (Check out my companion blog, where I review books, TV and film: https://hbwbookspot.blogspot.com/)
