West Loop Restaurants

The West Loop in Washington, D.C. provides an internationally diverse group of eating establishments. One can easily find Filipino fare, Indian street food, and Southeast Asian dishes. Because there is a large Ethiopian population, Ethiopian food abounds. Locals rave about Injera, an large, flat, and spongy bread typically served with Ethiopian dishes. It is torn off in pieces and used to scoop up food. If you're looking for something that originated in the area, try a "half smoke". This is a half-pork, half-beef hot dog-like sausage served on a bun with herbs, onions, and chili sauce. No doubt the diversity of establishments in this area will provide something that pleases just about everyone.
