There are a number of Ethiopian ladies who work at my son's child care center. They seem to think Addis Ababa is the best in Silver Spring.

My vote is for Etete. Ethiopian is one of my favorite cuisines and I've tried many different places in the area (but not Ethiopic, which I will try soon). The food, decor, and service are best at Etete, IMO. If you're in VA, I like Meaza on Columbia Pike.
