"Great to see these guys on Doordash. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Bethesda and I find everything they make to be delicious! "
"i was told dc has the best ethiopian restaurants and was recommended this area. the vegan platter has ten options that all lacked flavor and tasted very similar other than the red beets that was slightly bitter. the four meat samples were just as bland. the beef and chicken lacked spice, the ground beef was tasteless, and the lamb had an extremely strong odor that was not masked well with the sautéed onions and peppers. i probably wouldn't order from this place again. portion size was good for two people, but the flavor wasn't there. maybe the standards were set too high since we've had some really solid spots in philadelphia"

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."

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."

"Veggie combo was delicious and plentiful, enough for two meals. Lots of great variety. Especially love the red lentils. Relatively mild spice but very flavorful. "
"This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. My husband (who had tried it once before) and I got the Meat Sampler #1 with split peas and collard greens (we were able to specify which veggie sides we wanted in the special instructions). Both meats were very tender and everything was perfectly spiced! Had I known that the entree would come wrapped in injera - a spongy bread that's foldable like a tortilla but thicker, and thinner than naan - I wouldn't have paid $2.49 to add on additional injera. We will definitely be ordering from Ahadu again."

"Quick order completion and delivery. Not many local Ethiopian spots offer meat & veggie combination platter (for delivery) and this is perfect when you're craving a bit of everything. The price & portion size of the Combination Platter 1 match with consideration of current food prices. Nothing was too spicy (could have been more but I get that would take it out of a general standard) or bland. Warmth @ arrival was decent for food variety. Would order again!"
"I love their dullet so much!!! The spices the portion and the kibe it just so PERFECT! but the other day I ordered Doro Wot wet and it didn't taste good. I wouldn't order it again. It was too spicy and didn't have a true doro wet taste. Almost no chicken on it. I will just continue ordering Dulet from this store. "

"The overall taste was good and the food was fresh. The Mango Juice is too small compared to what's advertised. Also, the Kuanta Firfir didn't have an egg which was quite disappointing. I wouldn't order again but I'm open to try another food next time when I'm craving Ethiopian food."

"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."

"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."

"The awaze tibs are always amazing--beautifully spiced and tender, and the injera bread that comes with it is perfection! Not too too sour, just right!
