Arat Kilo Market

This place used to be just a market but now it also has a restaurant upstairs.
It’s become very popular and is an inexpensive place to get good Ethiopian food.
They don’t sell beer like the other places around town, so more of a lunch destination for me.
I got Lamb Tibs with Wot sauce and loved it.

I was there few days ago looking for Vinto I grabbed one when I approached the register I noticed it has a price written all across the bottle $ 5.99 I didn’t want to take it I wanted something that doesn’t have a price I went back I looked around every single bottle had $ 5.99 written across it I just picked one thinking I will try to wipe it with alcohol (the marker writing)
Guess what? The lady rung me up for $ 7.99 instead I was like but it says $ 5.99 she goes that’s the price we get it not the price we sell it for… I was like no thank you I don’t want it I returned the bottle to it’s original place. What offended me most is that since its written right on the bottle she should have honored the price. Well that’s what they do if u go anywhere else their wrong labeling is not my fault & I should get the price that’s written with black marker in huge handwriting all across it.
Out of curiously I called the next day & ask on the phone how much the Vinto was… the guy on the phone goes $ 10.99 I was like… wow:))))))

Living in Downtown Silver Spring will make you wonder if there is a limit to how many Ethiopian restaurants the community can support. So far it hasn’t been found. Here, we finally have an Ethiopian grocery.
The place is small, but they have a good selection (for all I can tell) of spices, dried legumes and other staples of Ethiopian food. They have fresh breads, obviously including injera. They also have a decently-​sized fresh meat counter, and if the butcher at the Whole Foods up the street looks at you funny when you ask for goat chops, bring your business, here.
They don’t appear to have any fresh produce, something they share with the Thai Market a block away. They do have imported Mexican Coca-​Cola, made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup.
They also seem to have hedged their bets by devoting some shelf space to typical convenience store mainstays like breakfast cereal, snacks, cleanser, toilet paper, and some canned goods. Some of these things are not flying off the shelves, so you are advised to check expiration dates.
They do have fresh coffee and cold sodas, too, so this can also be a handy place to get some caffeine to go.
