I recently had the pleasure of dining at Addis Ababa, an exceptional Ethiopian restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and outstanding customer service that made me feel right at home. The ambiance of the restaurant is enhanced by lovely music that complements the dining experience perfectly. It creates a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that encourages you to sit back and enjoy the moment. Now, let's talk about the food! The dishes are absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors and spices that truly capture the essence of Ethiopian cuisine. Each bite was a delightful exploration of taste! The lovely owner was not only welcoming but also took the time to share his passion for the food and culture, which added a personal touch to the evening. It's clear that he genuinely cares about his guests and wants everyone to have an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience filled with great food, delightful atmosphere, and excellent service, look no further than Addis Ababa. I can't wait to return!

Addis Africa has the best Sambusa and Enjera. My favorite dish is Awaze Tibs and Veggie Combo. The best thing is you can make your own combination plate as you want it.

The food is delicious—every dish is rich in flavor, beautifully spiced, and clearly made with love. The injera was perfectly soft and the stews are a must try. I also loved their samosas—they are phenomenal. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the owner. You can feel their passion for the food and the culture in everything they do. Whether you’re new to Ethiopian food or a longtime fan, this place is an absolute gem. Come hungry, leave happy—and definitely get the samosas!

I love the environment and the vibe whenever I go to this restaurant. Their goat soup Swahili style keeps me coming back for more. They have the best sambusa, not to mention the variety African foods options such as Fish, Chicken, Lamb, Beef stews. The team is the best and they always treat me like I am one of them. The service is amazing and they go above and beyond for you. Their honesty and hospitality is always the best. Keep it up.

I was on my way for work when found this unique restaurant along Bethany Home Road. It caught my attention that I had to stop in. The reception was amazing and made me feel like I was at home with family. On top of that the food was delicious. I had to tell my family about this amazing restaurant and looking forward to bringing my family to Addis in the near future. I had the Beef Samusa, Lamb Tibs, Shiro and Salad. The food was plenty that I had to take the rest home to share with family.
