The temporary closure of Effoi Restaurant in downtown Silver Spring may have become permanent.
The Ethiopian restaurant opened in the former home of Addis Ababa at 8233 Fenton St. in 2022, offering traditional dishes like kitfo, wot, and tibs, plus vegetarian, fish, and pasta options.
Effoi’s website previously stated, “WE ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED,” but it is now offline (the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine has a cached copy from late November). The restaurant is also listed on Google as temporarily closed.
The Source will update as more information becomes available.
