Beef Samosas

If you want to try the beat Tanzanian Samosa, you haveee to go here!!! Literally the best thing in the menu

Caesar Salad
Alessandra D.

we recently tried a new pizza spot to us in Bethesda: Aden Pizza . While I usually am an avid yelp searcher when it comes to trying new places, we actually received a paper menu in our mailbox about this restaurant and decided to give it a shot. I usually throw these away but decided to keep it for future takeout purposes. Not only is this a place to get pizza, it also serves up TURKISH DISHES! We only tried their pizza but they make various pide, kofte, kebabs, baklava, and other Turkish dishes. Our "favorites" were the Buffalo Chicken Pizza (not overly Buffalo-y and a winner in our book!) and the mozzarella sticks. The supreme pizza was good but not sure we would get that one again. Caesar salad was average, and we thought the croutons were a bit dry. DINNER Buffalo Chicken Pizza Supreme Pizza Mozzarella Sticks Fries Caesar salad

Whadya call pizza with ground beef and no cheese or tomato sauce? It's a Lahmacun and it is excellent! U can even top it with onions or salad. Been here a number of times and found the food incredible or eh. The lahmacun is incredible! The pide is great. Not a great place to enjoy incredible food. The outside seats work well in Spring or summer. Winter keeps you inside in less than comfortable surroundings. Would also let you know that the 11 am open time is when tHey get there, not when they are ready. But, wanna watch a soccer game and eat well. This is the place. Try the lunch specials.

Steak and Cheese Sub
Salman C.

When we first moved to Bethesda we were on a kick to try as many unique restaurants as we could. This plan was foiled once we stumbled upon Aden Pizza. Night after night we found ourselves stating "let's order Aden again". My wife and I got hooked on their steak and cheese subs. The fries that come with it take it over the top. Being that my wife only eats halal meat she thought she had died and went to heaven. Even the beef pepperoni was halal! We usually do carry out but have used their personal delivery service as well. They are fast and friendly. The only downside is the restaurant itself can only seat 4-8 people.

My Meze Platter of Foodlicious.

After seeing Creed & Concussion as part of our CHRISTmas family gathering, we all decided on trying Aden for a family dinner....what a great decision! I started on Yelp, then went to Eat/24 & then their website & found out that they offer a 20% discount for 1st time users via their App...downloaded & we were ready to order. Well, I had to make one phone call for a quick inquiry, got a holiday greeting, got my question answered, & then we ready to order. Mom - I went with the Mixed Meze Platter. It comes with Hummus, babaghannush (grilled eggplant, garlic, olive oil & tahnini mixture - I 86'd the yogurt), ezme (nice salad concoction of tomatoes onions, parsley, peppers & spices - yummy), sigara borek (deep fried dough with feta cheese - those were put in another container for my daughter), falafel & of course pita bread, which was grilled & seasoned with olive oil & garlic. & for the price of $11.95 you get a nice portion of each item, DELICIOUS! Son - Steak & Cheese Sub, with the basic grilled onions, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes & mayo...however, it was the biggest & Philly looking Steak & Cheese I have seen in a very long time. Of course, it came with a huge portion of french fries & condiments. Daughter - Chicken Kebab Wrap, with a very seasoned/marinated chicken (nice aroma to it), lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, tzatziki sauce & french fries. They both had Baklava that was prepared with light & flaky dough & the special filling of walnuts, pistachio & honey sugar syrup. Of course I asked if butter was used, they did. :-( I just enjoyed the dessert vicariously through them. This avenue of ordering in oppose to the original reservations of a hotel meal worked out perfectly as we got plenty of food for the dollar & was able to kick back, fellowship & play Monopoly until 1am! What a fantastic way to end this special day with La Familia of celebrating, exchanging gifts, watching movies & being overly full on good food. Happy Holidays!

Specials

Was very pleasantly impressed with my Doner Shawarma and fries order. The pita meat was plentiful and wholesome, the bread was well toasted, fries were seasoned well and crunchy and the tzatziki yogurt tasted like real yogurt and served on the side ensured no soggy delivery. If you're looking for a quick bite with Halal, humanly prepared meat, I highway recommend this friendly staff delicious option. Can't wait to try their wings and pizzas as well!

Still don't know how I stumbled across this place on yelp but I'm glad I did. All the food here is Halal. I placed the ordered online and received the delivery within an hour. The pizza was hot and fresh. If you love pizza then you should check this place out.

No torice pudding again as of the taste. It is like remaining rice pilaf was mixed with milk and extravagant amounts of starch.
Inlovewith Barbaros A.

Good but not great. I have made an order at 9:22pm and received the order at 10:22pm. Excatly in an hour(!) What I have ordered were red lentil soup, iskender kebap and rice pudding. Lentil soup was good however iskender was sent to me in abundance of pide and tomatoe paste and little bit meat. In addition rice pudding was so starchy. I hope you guys will keep improving :) good luck!

The sandwiches are huge. This is the chicken kebab sandwich.

Almost don't want to rate this, because I want to keep it a secret. Best Greek food in the area. We do at least once a week.

The shop has a couple of tables inside and there's a terrace right outside with tables, as well as picnic tables further back. I parked across the street, but there may be more parking in the lot next to the restaurant (didn't check myself). I do vegan Mondays, and was able to order a pita with falafel with several veggie toppings and sauces. It was DELICIOUS and filling.

They trumpet the fact they fry in avocado oil, and they make a distinctive flat patty. I got a combo with fries and a drink. The toppings I selected; sumac onions, pickled carrots, and several others, were a bit soggy and didn't mix in quite a swell as I'd hoped. The fries were very fried, and the thin cut falafel was interesting but didn't persuade me to give up the usual ball shape. I wasn't sold that it was the best in the area, and with the place only open for lunch there weren't a ton of opportunities to try it on my schedule, but it is a credible entry into the Bethesda lunch scene.

It wasn't the easiest to locate, but once we figured it out, there was plenty of free parking available. Just a heads-up that you do have to enter through the underground garage. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty aside from a few older guests, so initially I felt a little out of place and wasn't quite sure what to expect. However, the customer service definitely made a great impression. Everyone was friendly and professional, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and did a great job explaining the different dishes. As for the food, everything we tried was genuinely tasty. My biggest issue was really the portions, particularly the sides. My snapper came with what felt like less than a handful of Brussels sprouts, while the fish itself had so many tomatoes on top that I swear I had more tomatoes than I did sides. The snapper still tasted good, but the proportions of everything on the plate just didn't make much sense to me. The lamb was flavorful and had a really nice grilled taste, and the mushroom ravioli was also delicious. Again, though, the portion left me wanting just a little more. It came with three ravioli, and I feel like even four would have made the serving feel a bit more complete. Overall, the food was good, the service was excellent, and we enjoyed our date night. I just wish the portions matched the quality of the food a little better, especially when it came to the sides. Nothing was necessarily bad--I just left feeling like a few small adjustments to the portions could make the overall dining experience much more satisfying.

I was craving kebab and this unfortunately did not hit the spot for me. We got lamb and chicken kebab combo (#5) and ghormeh sabzi. The meats were bland and very dry. Usually when I order lamb kebab I expect full of flavor and juicy, but this lamb was TOUGH like I had to really chew and there was no flavor. Ghormeh was bland too and not that many cubes of beef. Pita bread and rice were both good. The staff were friendly but not really helpful...we asked what ghormeh was and he just said it's "beef." I would say gourmet bazaar (Rockville) is much better.

This chain has several locations, but it is notable that the one in DC appears to offer more on the…read morevegetarian side that some of the others do, so this one is specifically what I'm reviewing. The entree was a bit of a cafeteria style thing, but it fit the bill; the menu says it offers not only tofu but some red kidney beans in a stew of greens with lime flavor, and while I can't think of any similar combination I've had in all my travels, it works. The yogurt they offer on the side is a Persian staple, but what really shined was the fresh bread whose odor wafted through my vehicle as I drove my takeout elsewhere. A delightfully thin and browned creation, it was 100% worth adding despite the fact that they already gave me a massive pile of rice (with a bit of saffron rice on top of the plain white rice). This isn't high-end cuisine, but they delivered distinctive flavors in a timely and convenient fashion, and with a good range of vegetarian choices. Of their other locations in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, some of them offer these stews with tofu mixed in and some do not, though falafel and a few other options remain available.

Lovely wine bar in Cleveland Park!…read more We dined in on a Friday night with a party of six. They had seated us in the front window, but the sun was really shining so they were very accommodating, and helped to move our table into a shadier spot. We started with a round of cocktails and appetizers. My husband enjoyed the apricot Manhattan and I tried the Key West daiquiri. The lavender and pea cocktail was also very refreshing. The hummus platter featured four different hummus's. The harissa was our favorite. The Burratta salad and tart flambe was nice to share. We proceeded with ordering three bottles of wine and a few entrees. The petite fillet was delicious. The spring gnocchi was flavorful and the chicken Milanese was a nice portion. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a slice of Dulce de Leche cheesecake with a candle! Service was very nice. Clean bathrooms and short walk to Cleveland Park Metro.

Little Blackbird is phenomenal!…read more I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Great service from super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. A large wine list that they know back to front and can recommend wines from based on your food choices and personal tastes. An elegant but not ostentatious interior. But first and foremost, incredible food. There have been a few items I was unsure of when reading the descriptions, but I have always been blown away by the thoughtfulness and balance that comes with each or their dishes. Of note, their seared scallops that came with a savory and sweet white chocolate sauce were one of my favorite dishes of 2025. Not to mention, the prices here are reasonable and not unnecessarily inflated like other places that market themselves as wine bars. I hope the success here signals a shift in the wine bar model toward unpretentious but thoughtfully designed dishes for a reasonable price. Overall, Little Blackbird is an incredible restaurant that I think deserves more recognition. I will certainly be back soon.
