Doro Bet

Really tasty fried chicken! For some reason, it was almost nostalgic for me but the crispy skin and outstanding spice blend are definitely worth getting if you're looking for good old fashioned fried chicken instead of the trendy Nashville hot chicken. Full disclosure, my food was delivered so I didn't eat in the restaurant, but it travels pretty well. I can tell that it would have been even more delightfully crispy if I had gotten it fresh, but it still turned out good and the quality of the chicken and spices shone through. For ~$20 I ordered the whole chicken (2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, 2 wings) with the Awaze (spicy Berbere) seasoning which was a pretty reasonable value. The spice level is pretty mild, it's definitely some pleasant spice but not anything to be scared off of if you aren't spice-tolerant. Overall, I enjoyed the chicken but it didn't blow my mind or anything, and I wouldn't have minded even more seasoning on the chicken. The mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy but ultimately a little bland. I think a splash of the spicy seasoning would have really kicked it up into something nice, but it was fine at least. I definitely recommend Doro Bet for their fried chicken, and I would be interested in returning to try some of the more classically Ethiopian dishes like their Doro Wot!

I think my husband found this spot on TikTok and we both wanted to try it next time we were in Philly. We shared: - Half Chicken, Lemon Turmeric - Half Chicken, Spicy Berbere The fried chicken was fantastic. I loved both seasonings. The spicy was probably my favorite. It wasn't all that spicy, but it was flavorful. If you like fried chicken, I'd highly recommend checking this spot out.

Everything I’ve had here is great! The chicken is super crispy and juicy, and the drinks and dipping sauces are all good too. I got a chicken stew with injera yesterday, which was filling and flavorful. Can’t wait to try more of their menu! Also the surrounding area is pretty and nice to walk in, and parking is always free and easy.

The chicken tenders and fries are soooo good! As someone with Celiac Disease, being able to eat these items is so special, and they’re super consistent and tasty. It can get very busy in the evening if you’re looking to eat in, but it’s pretty chill around lunch time.
