Adams Morgan

Zenebech rebranding to Elfegne?!?


2420 18th Street, NW

Zenebech moved from Shaw to Adams Morgan in 2017.

I noticed Zenebech’s oval sign was removed a couple weeks ago and I figured it just got damaged. A reader sends in the new sign yesterday:

A google search for Elfegne doesn’t reveal much beyond a cafe in Baltimore and an e-commerce platform in Ethiopia. Anyone hear anything about a change?

STAY TUNED.

Zenebech’s website is still live (menu here):

“Zenebech Restaurant is a family business that was started in 1993 as an injera bakery. Zenebech Dessu and Gebrehanna Demissie started the business as a means of survival after being laid off from work. The bakery was located on 11th & V NW and served both restaurants and markets all over the DC metropolitan area.

In 1999 Zenebech Restaurant relocated to it current location and expanded to include both the injera bakery and carryout orders . Over the years, we have added more dishes to our menu while using authentic Ethiopian spices and freshly baked injera.

August 2017 Zenebech Restaurant has moved into its new home in Adams Morgan. As a small family business we take a lot of pride in our food and strive to make the tastiest Ethiopian dishes for you.”
