Francisco found a great restaurant for dinner with NK and E in DC. Keren Restaurant is an Eritrean restaurant whose only flaw is that it isn't too close to the metro. Well, that and the wine was nothing special. Then again, the bottle was only $10 (I think it was a happy hour half-priced deal.)
Eritrean food is in the vein of Ethiopian. Many of the dishes are on (and eaten with) the same spongey bread (although this bread was less tough and more tender than what I've had in Ethiopian restaurants in the past).
The restaurant was fairly quiet--the televisions on the wall switched between soccer and some Eritrean general talking.
The food was quite good. Basically, it was what I hoped for when I came to DC, but rarely found in the city (the suburbs are a different question)--a restaurant that's small and non-pretentious, cheap and delicious.
