With nearly a dozen Ethiopian restaurants in Silver Spring, we’d be up to our elbows in injera (the cuisine’s signature spongy flatbread) to find the best. But this relative newcomer, named for the northern Ethiopian town where owners Alem Kidane and Etsegenet Lemma grew up, is an endearing spot with personable service. In addition to lunch and dinner, it serves an interesting brunch, with items not commonly found on other Ethiopian restaurant menus. The setting is nice, too—bold and modern, with bright red walls, colorful posters and tapestry-like scarves under the glass tabletops.

Favorites: For brunch, try the tabor, an intriguing dish with spicy strips of beef, cracked wheat and eggs. It rivals coffee for a morning jolt (not to worry, you can tame the heat with a cup of fragrant Ethiopian spiced tea). Also good: rolled doro tibs, chargrilled chicken chunks with tomatoes, onions and house dressing served in pita; the vegetable sampler; and the traditional doro wot, a chicken leg cooked in a zesty sauce with onions and spiced butter, served with a hard-boiled egg.
