"Egusi was good could've use more of a kick when it came down to the spices. I had gotten the mixed meat which next time I would just do one meat portion. More bones than meat but overall good flavor. The Moi Moi first time trying and it was delicious more spice than the Egusi which I liked. The plantains were delicious as well. I would order again just not so late."
"Even though their food is pricy, it's really worth it. Compared to other african restaurants, their food is a lot. I really like their rice and atadindin, the egusi is very tasty as well. The puff puff, meatpie...., the list is endless. Their food really gives Nigerian vibes. I keep coming back every time. I pray I don't spend my life savings on their food 😩"

"Big fan of west African food and was looking for something new to try. I judge Senegalese restaurants by their theibu jenn - which wasn't on the menu - but the Dibi Chicken and Macaroni and Cheese didnt disappoint!

"Wow. I honestly had low expectations for the portion size since I ordered the meal box but it was absolutely perfect! I was able to save a little more than half a cup of the spicy rice to use for another meal (since it's packed with rice), and I finished the rest of the bowl. The beef suya, suya rice, plantain, corn salsa and the sauce were 10/10!!!! I absolutely have nothing else to say except the fact that I will be ordering this again multiple times during lunch time!"
"The fried plantain was absolutely delicious and the cucumber salad is excellent. This is my second time ordering from this establishment and the first time I ordered the rice noodles with double lamb and fried plantain, with the cucumber salad and suya rice. Everything was delicious and wonderfully seasoned. My only complaint is that I attempted this time to order the rice noodles again and instead of getting the noodles, I got rice with a double lamb, and not rice noodles with double lamb. But the food was still excellent and I would highly recommend the rice with double lamb."

"This was my first order and everything was perfect. I am Nigerian so a little weary with African restaurants, but I finished my okra soup and pounded yam in about 5 minutes; this was authentic! The okra was delicious (made just like my dad's). Saved the jollof for later, but I took a bite and that was made very good as well. "
"The plaintain was dry and there was only 6 in the entire container, meaning i paid over a dollar for each plaintain. The Tilapia Fresh Fish (1 pc) that i received was better. The stew was slightly a bit too salty but the tilapia was cooked well and was sizable and fit the price."

Everything was banging, when I saw the portion, I'm like there's no way I'm going to finish this food by myself. I finished it all!!! The chicken was falling off the phone, well seasoned, the jollof rice, a banger! The vegetable, omg! I ate with the fried yam I got on the side. I love everything about this meal!"
"I ordered the same thing two days in a row. I don't like that their meals are inconsistent. The only thing consistent was the rice. The second time I ordered I didn't get any plantains, the chicken in the Signature Chicken Meal was smaller and hard. The Sausage Rolls was hard as a rock. I couldn't even dig my nails into it"

It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "
"Plenty of food for sure. The chicken was tender. I just did not like the taste of Curry Chicken, too bitter like maybe too much allspice or tumeric? The Cabbage mix was more like coleslaw style which I was not expecting. Overall a good value, just not my preference. Also wish these places would throw in a slice of bread or rotti."

"This is my first time trying African Cuisine and I will say 10/10 recommend!!
I’m so glad I chose Juneteenth to try African food!
The Ogbono is so good! It is very spicy, idk if it comes that way. I will try to get regular next time. I thought it was completely vegetable, I had beef or stew meat - it was tender.
The pounded yam goes well with it, it reminds me of a ball of instant mashed potatoes. It helps with the spice.
The Moi-Moi is good! I might eat it for breakfast. The texture is smooth and solid. Its similar to tamale.
The Suya was a little tough. The purple sliced onions were really good and spicy as well.
The meat pie was good! I got chicken, it was flavorful. I was expecting the chicken to have more juice to it.
Overall each item was full of flavor and spices. I will reorder this again along with a dessert!! I think this is a great place for a first timer! If you have never tried African cuisine, be open minded and give it a try!"

"Doro Soul Food has some of the best quality Fried Doro Plate - 4 pc Half Chicken in the DC area. The chicken is juicy and crispy at the same time, plus the Ethiopian spices add a nice flavor to chicken. Paired with the Spiced Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, and Creamy Mashed Potatoes is the perfect dinner for any day of the week."
"Mac & Cheese is always delicious as well as the chicken consistently being well seasoned and crunchy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. Doro never misses. The ranch is also the best I've ever had! The dill spices set itapart from any other I've tasted."

"Ethiopian Combina Platter was extremely oily, I spent 20 mins trying to dab the red colored oil out of the soggy injera. And they included only one additional injera, this was the first time I've seen one injera included in a platter. Food tasted good but made me feel super groggy after. Not terrible but won't do this again."

Amazing service and they even add more items to my last 2 order so generous

"What a treat. I wasn't sure how well Ethiopian food was going to pack and travel but it arrived in perfect shape. The collection of vegetarian dishes was superb. Spicy but not overwhelmingly so. The Tekil Gomen and Shiro Wat are two of my favorites but their version of Kayser -- the rich, mineral-laden beet dish, was incredible. Just delicious. It was served on injera, as it would be in a restaurant, with several more rounds of the flat bread folded over the top to soak up any sauce that spilled over in transit. Ed I definitely did not need the extra side of injera I ordered. This meal would have fed 2-3 hungry people. There is a smaller sampler for one but I wanted to taste everything. So glad I did. Will definitely order again!! "
"Family Special was delicious, especially the beet dish. Definitely a hearty two meals' worth of food. The Sambusa was tasty as well. The pastry was doughier rather than crispy which was different than most others in the area."

"I don't often write reviews but this was disappointing. Quantity and quality seemed off. We spent almost $100 and tibs were salty, dry and veggies combo also felt like it was lacking the typical dynamic flavor that makes ethiopian food so good and we were so excited for it! Quantities were much smaller compared to other restaurants we visit. Our in-person visit was better than takeout but both were long waits. We are huge ethiopian fans and this was disappointing."
