Located in the middle of Silver Spring Downtown. Passersby might not immediately notice Bete Ethiopian Cuisine–which is tucked away off Roeder Road–but the café has garnered steady business by word of mouth. The restaurant’s atmosphere is cozy, and it features a partly shaded outdoor patio along with a moderate-sized dining room indoors. Dishes are mainly vegan–in fact, the vegan cookie is the manager’s top-recommended dish.
