The Art of the Gursha

A communal ritual, fed by hand and heart.

In Ethiopia, to feed another is the highest gesture of love. We call it Gursha — the act of placing a morsel of injera and stew into the mouth of someone dear. At Enatye, every plate is an invitation to this communion: recipes carried across highlands and generations, served on a single shared platter beneath the woven dome of a mesob.

Reviews

The customer's testimony.

"This is definitely one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in the whole Washington DC area. The food is very appealing to eat, smells fresh and tastes good. Their leb leb tibs was delicious and freshly made. Their macchiato with its creamy foam is tasty and has all the caffeine I need for the day."

"Great food, great staff! Stopped on my way to the airport and it was great. If I'm back to DC I will definitely eat there again."

"The doro wot is the closest I've had to my grandmother's. The injera is perfectly sour, the berbere sings. Enatye feels like home the moment you walk in."
