Thank you for visiting Ahadu Ethiopian Cuisine. An authentic Ethiopian restaurant in Burtonsville, Maryland, about halfway between Washington, DC, and Baltimore. We are delighted to bring to you an ex…
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.

One of my favorite Ethiopian restaurants. The Veggie Sampler was good. I appreciate their honoring my request to substitute something else for the red lentils because peppery is not my thing. The gluten free injera also worked well as a finger food.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but the last few times something has changed. The meat is dry and not as well seasoned. They don't add as much onion and tomato to the Ahadu's Beef Tibs and they are very tough. The sambusa today tasted different and seemed to have less filling. I hope they can get back to how they used to be.

This is usually my favorite Ethiopian restaurant, but I must have ordered on a bad day. The portions of the Veggie Combo 2 were so small that I could barely find them in the one slice of injera that was hiding them. The Meat Small was so greasy and spicy that I could not eat it.
