Habesha Market Carry Out & Restaurant sits at 1919 9th Street NW in Northwest Washington, run by three Ethiopian brothers who built the business around dishes from home. The menu spans breakfast, vegetarian plates, pasta and rice, beef and lamb entrees, and a coffee and juice program, structured around the kind of full-day service Ethiopian restaurants often keep.
The vegetarian combos scale from a four-item plate of spicy lentils, yellow peas, collard greens, and house salad up to a ten-item deluxe version that adds cabbage, shiro, tomato salad, mild lentils, and spicy potato, all served with injera. Kulet fir-fir — a spicy vegetarian stew mixed into injera — is another staple on the menu.
Regulars describe it as a dependable neighborhood option, pointing to consistent cooking, generous portions, and welcoming service from the family that runs it.
