Reviews


The restaurant offers good Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine, though it may not be in the top 3 in D.C. The compact space could use an update, though the location between Dupont and Adams Morgan is ideal. The food is filling, with friendly staff helping diners navigate the menu. The veggie combo is a standout, offering generous portions with less greasiness than other Ethiopian restaurants. The menu is spicy, so be prepared, and the breakfast fava bean stew is a must-try. The authenticity and flavorful dishes make this restaurant a great choice for those looking for Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine in D.C. It may get busy, so plan your visit accordingly. Despite the dated decor, the food quality and affordability make this restaurant highly recommended, on average, Keren has been rated as 4.5.
