I believe it is expensive as well, what i am saying is they dont have any decent beers to have with dinner that are a reasonable price

Actually, which of those ethiopian places around there are good?

 well, there's no pleasing you. but i believe its well-known that if you want a decent beer in this city you are going to have to spend some money on it. quality = higher price

For ethiopian, you have to try dukem.

Who wants to eat Ethiopian anyway? Judging by how skinny they are, not even Ethiopians. Can't comment on the meat dishes, but Ethiopian vegetetarian sucks.

As a vegetarian, I'd be interested in hearing your comments on which ethnic foods have the best vegetarian menus, in your estimation. Living in the Richmond market, our idea of "ethnic" is Chinese/Italian/Mexican, so any menus outside of those that I could try when in DC I'd be interested in learning more aobut.

Indian is the best for vegetarians. They have the widest variety of vegetable dishes. Not just tofu, which I hate. My favorite is bhindi masala, spiced okra in a curry tomato sauce. In fact at 18th and K NW there is an Indian restaurantcalled Nirvana that is totally vegetarian.

I would concur. Indian is the best, and Nirvana is an excellent place to start.
 
 Mexican is good, but my wife and I seem to both cook better than any local Mexican places we've been to.
 
 We like Thai and of course Italian as well.
 
 You can also get some good vegetarian tapas dishes as well, though I've only done that once or twice.

I agree...if you're a veggie Indian is the best by far...although I would never eat in a place called "Nirvana" just on principle.
 
 I'm convinced that this Ben's Chili Bowl place pays people to mention their name everytime 'food' is mentioned on this board because it's like a race for some of you to see who can get it posted first. Reality is, any dufus can make a decent pot of chili.

I went to some El Salv place that is closing soon and for good reason.
 
 It was one of the lamest dining experiences I had in my life.  THey couldn't even make a bowl of salsa taste good.  SALSA for gods sake!!  This thing was nothing but a bucket of water it had NO FLAVOR!!
 
 THen on top of that it took forever to get a beer in the place, and then i ordered this shrimp pasta thing and the pasta was burnt.. BURNT!! what kind of retard BURNS pasta?!?!?
 
 The seafood soup my wife had, was nothing to write home about either..
 
 Thank god this place is dissapearing no wonder why!!  cripes I wish I can remember the name of it, it's on the corner of U and I think 12th??  They had an article about the place in the post cause it had been there a long time and was closing (duh).

I like Polly's Cafe.

I just remembered the name of that place "La Casona", (i think) translation avoid like the plague.
 
 Coppi's Organic is a great plac in the U street area.  not so close to the club though.
