The food here is delicious, I get the Ethiopian breakfast platter which is a great departure from my typical meat-egg-cheese bagel. It can take a while as this place has gotten pretty popular, and it's not the cheapest. The ful is a cheaper option I think which I want to try.
First time at Heat Da Spot after being recommended from a friend and it was a great experience with delicious food! The owner was so friendly with a smile and the food portions were generous and delicious til the last bite. Will be coming back!
truly a neighborhood gem! i love the food and coffee here so much. i brought my friend here for her birthday and the owners are genuinely some of the kindest people i’ve met. will absolutely come back here and recommend everyone to go🫶🏼
The food is amazing and the staff is friendly. Timi took care of us. We had the veggie platter and a breakfast platter, both with tibs (beef). Very authentic and great place to eat. Can’t wait to come back again!
This is the real deal. I love you Ethiopian food and this one did not disappoint. The staff was super nice and friendly and they cooked the food with love! Please be patient because you want fresh hot food. It takes for a few minutes sometimes but it’s totally worth it.authentic Ethiopian and RN Washington DC national Mall area it’s only about 15 minute drive from the Capitol.
