Looks like bad news. There was a 2-alarm fire in the attic of the Cajun seafood place next door to Zenebech last night. The Post didn't link to any of the video, but there is some on the @dcfireems Twitter feed, and it looks pretty bad. You can see the ladder in front of Zenebech referred to in the Post article in the video. It sounds as though they occupy different storefronts in the same building. It would be amazing if Zenebech didn't sustain some serious damage, but here's hoping...And it's certainly not a good day for the owners of the business where the fire was concentrated.  

Zenebach is anticipating that they'll be reopening mid-March:

Went here for dinner on Saturday - got there a little before 6, as we had heard they were slammed the week before. 3 of us, sat at the bar. Had lentil sambusas, a sampler platter, and an order of ribs. And Ethiopian beers. Very tasty, and the service was lovely. It was so nice to see they made it through.

And there was still a lot of takeout going out the door too.

So, we were here for dinner a few weeks ago, and there is a new sign on the front. Says they are now Elfegne.

About half the floor staff was the same. Food was still good, service was still good. Kitchen staff did not look like the same folks. Our favorite waitress said new management.

Dinner here Saturday - Sambusa were good, service was a little flaky, as they were having technology issues. The Doro Wot recipe seems to have changed. So, not quite as perfect, but still good.
