There is also a book that you can buy called “How to Feed Your Whole Family a Healthy Balanced Diet, with Very Little Money and Hardly Any Time.” I think that you can find it on amazon etc.

Eventually I’ll write reviews of all the Ethiopian restaurants I’ve tried in this area since I always rave about them, but as for Tajitu, I’d say it’s about middle-of-the-pack on my list. The food wasn’t greasy (wife liked that), but it’s probably the most expensive Ethiopian restaurant we’ve ever been to, at least as expensive as Zed’s in Georgetown, DC. But with the gift certificate, our $50 bill (after tip/tax) was knocked down to about $24. That was 1 appetizer and 2 entrees (I got a soda and I think she included it in the overall price).

The wife got the veggie combo (you choose 5 of the veggie items) and she enjoyed it as it had a couple items we hadn’t seen before, or cooked in ways we hadn’t tried.

And me, well I got the Kitfo which is a raw beef dish. I’ve gotten it at 2 other restaurants and Tajitu’s was less juicy, but just as flavorful and tender, and with no fat. They mixed the chili pepper into the meat rather than serve on the side like the other places. I’d only recommend it if 1) you’re adventurous and 2) you love meat. Otherwise, go for a meat sampler to try a number of items.
