"Doro Bet in University City is the kind of place where you can linger and watch people strolling Baltimore Ave., listen to Sami Dan, and forget all about that 30-page paper or life-saving brain surgery you need to get to later. This casual Ethiopian spot has a handful of tables where you can eat their two varieties of teff-flour fried chicken, nicely stewed doro wot, and other memorable dishes for under $20. We suggest a midday lunch, since the evenings are when everyone in the area swarms in for their fried chicken covered in berbere seasoning and creamy mac and cheese fix." - candis mclean, alison kessler
