"In University City, Doro Bet makes its crunchy, juicy fried chicken and vegan mushrooms gluten-free with teff flour, which is also what typically makes injera so accessible for celiacs. This casual Ethiopian spot also serves spicy fries, falafel, and collared greens. You’ll find more gluten-free Ethiopian fare from siblings Alif Brew, just down the street, and Salam Cafe in Germantown." - Ernest Owens
"We love so many things about Doro Bet on Baltimore Avenue, like the Sami Dan music they play and the bright walls covered in African art. But what we really can’t stop thinking about is the perfectly crispy teff flour fried chicken. This Ethiopian spot also serves generous shawarma salads, falafel wraps, and spicy doro wot that’s just as worthy of stalking. It’s a great option for a quick lunch or casual weeknight meal when you’re craving fall-off-the-bone peppery stewed chicken." - candis mclean
"We’re pretty much going steady with Doro Bet on Baltimore Avenue. The Sami Dan music they play has infiltrated our dreams, the bright wall covered in African art is now our lock screen, and we’re thinking of proposing to the chefs after eating a plate of doro wot. This Ethiopian spot serves pillowy mac and cheese, smothered wings, and teff flour fried chicken. It’s a great option for a quick lunch or casual weeknight meal when we’re craving peppery stewed chicken that falls off the bone." - candis mclean

"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
