Ethiopian spot Feru Bar and Restaurant in the Van Dorn Shopping Center (512 S. Van Dorn Street) recently won a spot on Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema’s top five great affordable restaurants around the region (shoutout to Patch for spotting it).
Sietsema praised not only the awaze tibs — a meat stew dish — but the down-to-earth atmosphere of the restaurant and the hard work of owner Firehiwot Bireka. Sietsema also praised the vegetarian kitfo with diced mushrooms, jalapenos and mitmita.
Feru Bar and Restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday-Wednesday, and until 2 a.m. on Thursday-Saturday. The restaurant offers indoor dining and takeout. Washington Post said entrees range from $18 to $60 for a shared meat combination, though it’s worth noting many Ethiopian dishes can be shared as a group.
