I’ve been to the new Ethiopian restaurant, Askale Cafe, in nearby Brookland (12th Street and Otis Street NE) a few times.  It is quite lovely.  Each time I’ve gotten the Ethio mix (kale, cabbage, yellow and red lentils plus injera) and chai latte.  They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner,  vegetarian and meat options, plus assorted tea and coffee drinks.  Check them out.
