In The Press

LETENA WAS NAMED

100 VERY BEST RESTAURANT by the Washingtonian Magazine

“ Unique vegetarian dishes like sweet-savory carrot wat and deeply caramelized mushroom tibs are just a couple of reasons to tuck into this cozy Columbia Heights Ethiopian spot. We also keep coming back for the kay siga wat, a berbere-spiced beef stew, and garlicky yebeg wat with braised lamb. Order the meat sampler to try both, and stick around for fluffy tiramisu infused with walnut liqueur.”
