"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"

"Excellent as always! Prompt, accurate service with instructions followed, boxes labelled as to which contain mild food, absolutely delicious, great selection, cooked to perfection, every morsel completely tasty! Perfect!
Oh, what did I eat, you wonder? The Dinich Wot (Potato Stew) I had never seen or heard of before so naturally, it was a must! Nicely spiced, saucy stew! That was had with a side of Ater Kik/ mild yellow split peas and the 'regular' injera served in America .... My dining partner and I shared most everything including my Fosolia with a side of Kay Misir -- spicy red lentils -- and the authentic Ethiopian injera (the original teff rather than teff mixed with wheat -- thinner, more sour-tasting, with a totally different long-term bodily effect!) -- and a delicious, crispy lentil sambusa for to end! Again, it was just perfection! Mmm ... ! :-D"

The Doro Wot tasted more like plain tomato sauce than anything else. Considering the prices, I expected much better. The quality of the food just didn’t match the cost."

Meat Combo
A flavorful platter of traditional East African meat dishes, designed to be enjoyed together. This assortment of tender, spiced meat dishes of your choice is served on a large piece of injera bread. Your choice of three! Doro Wot: A festive and iconic chicken stew, slow-cooked in a rich and spicy berbere sauce. This deep red stew is simmered with tender chicken and often includes a hard-boiled egg. Kitfo: A finely minced beef dish traditionally served raw, similar to a steak tartare, and seasoned with a warm, spiced clarified butter and a blend of chili powders. It can also be prepared lightly cooked, or "leb leb," upon request. Tibs: A versatile dish of tender meat, typically beef or lamb, sautéed with onions, peppers, and savory spices. The meat is seared to a delicious crisp on the outside while remaining tender within. Key Wet: A rich, spicy red stew of braised beef, seasoned with our signature Berbere spice blend. The tender beef soaks up the deep, complex flavors of the sauce, creating a satisfying and unforgettable comfort food.

"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! One thing I noticed--sometimes the tibs comes with veggies on the side, sometimes not, and occasionally the portion size is variable. But, each time I've been full and satisfied! My go-to spot for delicious awaze tibs!!"

"Veggie Combo was abundant in variety but the flavor wasnt the same as other places. Really odd horseradish side that is not traditional. Misir Wot was especially underwhelming, which was too bad because it is my favorite. Maybe the ingredients were less fresh. Spaghetti wasn't good at all and had a sour flavor. Quanta Firfir was the best dish. Would have appreciated more injira."

"I ordered the iced brown sugar, oat milk, shaken espresso, and had a couple of modifications for it. Someone from the cafe specifically called me to verify the modifications in my coffee to make sure I got what I wanted. I also ordered the lemon ricotta muffin, but they were out. The woman on the phone kindly suggested an alternative for me. The coffee is delicious. The muffin she suggested is also delicious. It's very rare to receive such amazing customer service from someone via DoorDash. I'm sure they're even more lovely in person. Definitely have to go back in person and try their other food & drinks!"
"Not good for groups. We ordered ahead specifically to give them time to prepare and they made our 6 person order when we arrived to pick it up. Portions were tiny and they were out of stock on things we had ordered. Coffee was good. Definitely more of a single or two person coffee shop kind of place."
