Yes! Enat is the best. Ethiopian food is my favorite and I've been to most of the local restaurants. Enat is my current favorite. Meaza is not far away from Enat and is good, but not as good, IMO. It is in the strip mall behind Landmark Plaza.

Aurora cafe in Alexandria, off of Pickett street. It's actually Eritrean which is somewhat similar to Ethiopian. This is one of my favorite places! It's very small and can get pretty packed. They have some American dishes too and the breakfast is great!

2nd! Meaza is my favorite.

Caboose Cafe in Del Ray serves a few Ethiopian dishes in the evening. I've only tried the vegetarian ones, and granted, my experience with Ethiopian food was limited to a few places near where we lived in Silver Spring a few years ago, but I think the food at Caboose is very, very tasty, and it's a casual, friendly place.

Would be nice to find one near Fort Belvoir, Landmark or Springfield/Burke
