Is This One Of Your Favorite Trucks?: Yes 

I was happy to find an Ethiopian food truck. The 3 veggie combo game with spicy red lentils, yellow split peas, greens, and 2 rolls of injera. Another time I ordered the same platter and got cabbage and carrots as the 3rd veg. The lentils are my favorite dish, but everything is well-seasoned and tasty. A surprisingly large amount of food and a good value for ~$8; I had leftovers for dinner.

What Did You Order?: Beef, lentils & cabbage 

I really enjoyed everything on my plate, and the portions were good sized. The beef, lentils and cabbage were all delicious, especially when eaten with the injera. I don't have any picky comments at all - it was just perfect Ethiopian food to me. Looking forward to their next visit to L'Enfant.

The lentils were well curried, spicy and garlicy. This paired well with smooth creamy split peas with a much more temperate heat level. The injera was a little soggy, but with the sour fermented effect I enjoy so much about Ethiopian teff and harmonized with the almost pickled cabbage and carrots. Portions were PLENTY for $7.50!


Food was delicious -- I don't know exactly what everything was, but there was a meat dish (lamb, maybe?), lentils (I think), collard greens (superb!!)

What Did You Order?: Special combo 

Food was delicious -- I don't know exactly what everything was, but there was a meat dish (lamb, maybe?), lentils (I think), collard greens (superb!!) and some potatoes. Plenty of the bread you use to eat with, and they give you napkins when they hand you your order, which is awesome for me because I always forget to grab napkins and that's a dangerous mistake when eating ethiopian. Portions were great too -- more than enough for me and I had plenty to give the homeless dude on the walk back to the office.
