Swung into Dukem before catching an Amtrak train at Baltimore Penn Station. The dinner was delicious and service was both quick and attentive. Enjoyed the 7-part vegetarian dinner with a friend. Will be back next time I’m in Baltimore!

Made a pickup order. Got two orders of beef tibs. I expected it to be more flavorful. It tasted under seasoned and slightly overcooked. When I go to other restaurants, beef tibs usually have a red color to them when they are more seasoned. Seemed like a cool vibe inside though.

Love finding Ethiopian places to eat when traveling, since we don’t get that opportunity locally. Not too busy. Had a ton of takeout orders being picked up while dining, which was a good sign. Will definitely come back when in town.

This was a completely new cuisine for me, so I didn’t know what to expect. The crepe-like side dish (Njera?) was delicious and I could really eat it plain as well. The curries were all flavorful as well.
I would highly recommend the sampler of vegetarian curries. There were so many options that came on the plate and I was the most full I’d been in a while after down it.
The prices are solid, and both times I visited, they were consistently good. Come with really hungry guests prepared to eat with their hands!

I recently visited Dukem Ethiopian Restaurant in Baltimore, excited to try Ethiopian cuisine for the first time. We arrived early for our reservation, but the server’s blank expression didn’t exactly welcome us. We kindly asked to be seated early and were shown to a booth.
The ambiance and aroma inside were pleasant, although the space felt a bit small. Fortunately, it wasn’t busy during our visit.
Despite mentioning it was my first time trying Ethiopian food, our server made no effort to explain the menu or offer recommendations. Luckily, I had watched some YouTube videos beforehand, which gave me a basic understanding.
We ordered water, which arrived as bottled Deer Park – a bit unusual. It would have been nice to have glasses provided. Considering the spicy nature of Ethiopian food, not offering free water refills seemed unreasonable.
I started with the vegetarian sambusa, which was dry and could have benefited from a sauce. For my entrée, I ordered a veggie platter with fish. Unfortunately, the fish arrived whole, with bones throughout, making it difficult to eat. While it had good flavor, the bones made it hard to finish.
The rolled injera tasted fine, but the larger portion underneath the veggie platter was quite sour and lacked flavor. The combination of items on the platter didn’t complement each other well. The only standout components were the greens and the red lentils with berbere spice.
Throughout our meal, our server never checked in or offered refills on our water. The check was dropped off without asking if we wanted dessert or coffee. The service was subpar, and I reluctantly left an 18% tip.
While I’m glad I got to try Ethiopian food for the first time, I’m disappointed that Dukem didn’t live up to my expectations. I wouldn’t return and would recommend exploring other Ethiopian restaurants with better service and more flavorful food.

I have always enjoyed the food there. As have the people I have been with. Most recently went there for a birthday celebration and we wanted to give our friends a novel experience. They all had a great time. We got a three platters for eight people so there was a lot of variety of dishes to choose from and a lot of quantity.

Service and atmosphere were great. The tej was a must. Food could have been better. The sampler was just ok, nothing to write home about. The injera was borderline stale. Compared to Ethiopian food you get in Addis or even in NYC, this place would be subpar. But if you factor in Baltimore, this is a decent place to go to.

WORST doro wat ever. I got the take out today and the chicken looked like it was microwaved a lot, and as you can see in the video it was super dry and very unappetizing. And 26$ for a dish like this?
Save your money and go somewhere else guys..

A nice change of pace for us. The food was wonderful and added to a new and exciting dining experience. Best to review Ethiopian etiquette if you are not familiar with the food or culture. This will guarantee you will have a splendid time. Caution many dishes use jalapenos. So the menu leans towards being a bit spicy.
