This place offers Vietnamese cuisine, with a menu that goes a bit beyond the standards and has some decent vegan options, which is essential given that this is a notoriously hippie neighborhood. I found many people talking about having or not having reservations, but I managed to get in early. They had a slight happy hour discount on rolls, and Vietnamese rolls are invariably great, for reasons that include taro root, but here the roll was really a platter with multiple vegetables; since they came out freshly fried, I actually did a bit of a lettuce wrap technique to be able to break apart and eat them. Ordering a tofu vermicelli bowl got me a good but not great rendition; the cucumbers are not to my taste and the sauce they had to drizzle over it, while fish-free, was a bit sweet and not to my taste either. The portion size wasn't huge for the price, but fortunately I wasn't starving. Having said that, they also had a small market section with imported goods and house sauces and pickled vegetables that looked nice, and the fresh herbal flavors I received certainly made a strong case for me to come back and try something different.

I have dinned in at this restaurant at least 2-3 times a week for the last year and four months, for most of my time in East Coast (DMV) area. They have been consistently organized, clean and welcoming. Some of the qualities they own, which convinced me to come frequently even though there are ample choices in the area, are the food is always fresh, tasty and not greasy! The waiters are so friendly and smily. The owner is always on the site and helps waiters when they need help. He is very friendly besides his great sense of humor. Beteseab is one of very few Ethiopian restaurants with open & neat kitchen. It is unusual for Ethiopian restaurants to have open kitchen.

My only complaint would be that we ran out of injera bread (this is probably the first Ehtiopian place I've been to where they served our food directly on a plate without a large piece of injera underneath) and the waitstaff is pretty hands-off so it took a while to get someone to bring out some more.
