You might want to experiment with the Casa Africana on Bonifant (I think). A tiny place in what looks like a renovated apartment, they serve up West African food. The staff is very pleasant, and the food is unlike anything I have had before. They have interesting steamed breads, smoked fish and beef stews, and some vegetarian dishes. N.

Dickinson-- [email removed] I second the recommendation on Casa Africana. Great food. Very courteous service unlike most restaurants in the DC area.
