Yep. There's a Lebanese Taverna on Connecticut Ave, just across the 
Calvert Street bridge from Adams Morgan.  It's a 10-minute walk from one 
restaurant to the other.  Astor on Columbia Ave also has great/cheap 
middle eastern food.

With regards to Ethiopian food, the tourists usually go to Fasikas or 
Meskerem.  Many cabbies hang out in the lower level of Addis Ababa, which 
is basically a sports bar.  The upstairs is more formal.  They have grat 
food.
