• Amazing Ethiopian Food

The food is consistently awesome at Dama, and it's the only Ethiopian place I've ever heard of to offer mock meats and vegan pastries! Be warned, portions are large, especially on the veggie combo! Their lunch buffet (Mon-Fri) is always mostly vegan and often includes seitan dishes (as of November 2022 the buffet is all vegan but that may change). During Lent and several other "fasting periods" they have a special expanded vegan menu with a larger veggie combo, more vegan cakes, etc. All cookies are always vegan, and if you want a particular vegan cake (like passion fruit, coffee velvet, or chocolate raspberry) you can order it in advance. The Dama family and the other staff are extremely friendly and make this my favorite restaurant in the DC are Updated from previous review on 2017-08-05
