A family-run restaurant, recently known as “Zenebech” – now Elfegne (named after royal dining halls) – is an Ethiopian restaurant and injera bakery. You’ll still eat like royalty at this Adams Morgan spot, where kaleidoscopic platters come heaped with a choice of ten vegetables and rich stews, kitfo is vividly spiced and buttered, and delicious tibs—lamb, beef, or house-special short rib—are gilded with golden caramelized onions. Extras such as housemade injera and Ethiopian craft beers and wines are welcome touches.
