The 21 best burger houses in Addis Ababa

An amazing experience! The food was exceptionally good with an outstanding variety of dishes – every bite was top-notch. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, the place was clean, and the restrooms were well maintained. Small details like bringing a bowl for handwashing to the table really showed care for the guests. The atmosphere was elevated by beautiful live music and phenomenal dancing – the performers made a real effort to involve the audience, which made it even more engaging. There's also a souvenir shop on-site, which is a lovely touch to end the evening. While it’s a bit on the pricier side, the whole experience is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

Quite an amazing place to enjoy traditional Ethiopian food with cultural and dance show at night. The atmosphere is very friendly and vibrant. The cultural show was very quite fascinating, while food was also good, though one can find better tibs at other places. But, overall, a very nice place to enjoy food, drinks and local songs and dances.

🌟 Abyssinia Yod Traditional Restaurant - Addis Ababa 🇪🇹 This was my third visit, and honestly… it never gets old. If you want to feel Ethiopia not just see it this is the place. The energy, the food, the people… it’s an experience that stays with you. 🍽 Food & Drinks: Let me just say it the injera here is the best I’ve ever had. Soft, fresh, full of character. The veggies, gravies, sauces each bite felt like a warm hug. I tried the fried goat, I’ll be honest, a bit on the chewy side for me. But everything else on that table made me forget it. And then came the coffee… my goodness! ☕ Strong, rich, almost magical. The kind of coffee that jolts you back to life and those popcorns on the side? A delightful touch. Add good wine, great company, and it was simply a night to remember. 💃 Entertainment: The dancers were phenomenal. Even as someone who’s not a big fan of Ethiopian cultural music I couldn’t help but smile, clap, and get drawn in. The passion, the joy… it’s infectious. You feel it in your bones. 👥 Service: The staff? Just lovely. Always smiling, always checking on us, always making sure we were happy. I really appreciated that. 💡 Ambience & Practicalities: ✨ The lighting was warm and inviting. ✨ I felt safe and comfortable all through the evening. ✨ We had a big table, seating was sorted, though yeah chairs could be a bit more comfy. ✨ Washrooms — clean, had tissue, but could definitely use a little love in terms of design or touch-up. 🚕 The place is a bit tucked away maybe not the easiest to walk to from the hotel, but cabs are easy to find. So no biggie. 💬 Final thoughts: Even if Ethiopian cuisine or cultural music isn’t your thing please don’t skip this place. The experience is 5⭐. It’s the kind of memory that defines your trip. Just fix up the toilets a bit, and maybe upgrade those chairs… otherwise, perfection. 👉 Tips for fellow travelers: 📌 Book ahead if you’re coming with a group — it can get busy. 📌 Come hungry. Come open-minded. 📌 Don’t rush off — stay for the coffee ceremony. Trust me. 🎯 Would I go back? Without a doubt. Again and again. Because this is the heart of Ethiopia. #AbyssiniaYod #AddisAbabaEats #EthiopianCulture #FoodieAdventure #TravelEthiopia #InjeraLove #CoffeeOnSteroids #CulturalVibes #MustVisitAddis #AuthenticExperiences 🌍 If you’re heading to Addis, save this spot — you won’t regret it!

Located in Bole, this is a fantastic tourists place but you also find locals there. They serve traditional Ethiopian food, have a shop for traditional clothes and perform cultural dances every evening from 7pm! Check out Yod Abyssinia when in Addis.

Its a really great place to experience authentic Ethiopian food. The ambience, food quality and service are all on point. The wait staff are good natured with recommending must haves

I had a wonderful experience at Yod Abyssinia Traditional Restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a truly friendly vibe that makes you feel at home. The setup of the restaurant is perfect; beautifully decorated and authentic, which adds so much to the overall experience. The food is absolutely delicious, full of flavor and served in generous portions. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into preparing each dish. The only thing I noticed is that the waiting time for the food was a little longer than expected, but honestly, it was worth the wait once everything arrived. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to enjoy traditional Ethiopian food and culture, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Addis Ababa.

The establishment is a delightful Ethiopian cultural restaurant, offering an authentic and inviting atmosphere. The food and service were truly exceptional, reflecting a high standard of quality and hospitality. Additionally, the cultural band provided a wonderful and enriching experience, further enhancing the overall ambiance. It was a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

I come here at least once a week! Burger is always on good and service is great if you sit downstairs. Upstairs is often neglected. But there's always this one waiter who opens my walia beer bottle and takes the cap with him. It's all good tho.

The most delish burger in town.

The only reason I didn't give it 1 star is, I didn't taste the food here, as I walk in the busy guy on the phone literally told me he doesn't know if they it's open or not while sitting upfront. And ignored me. someone told me to wait and forgot to tell me that the kitchen is closed at 8 PM, at bisrate Gabriel branch.

It’s pretty good place. Love the chicken burger it’s delicious the burger is not bad but it should be better it’s kinda dry..

The quality of burger is v. Good. Burger is juicy, succulent and full of flavor. But they need to work more on their fries, v. Dry and blant

Still in search of the elusive good hamburger in Addis Ababa. Had heard good things about Roomi Burger so had high hopes. Same flavourless and dry bun that plagues hamburgers across this city.

I had the chicken salad which was very filling and tasty. My companions had the burger - it looked good with home cooked fries.

The portion of food is gracious 😍 delicious meals. I tried the combo (lasagne, tegliatelle, fish cutlet), and was awesome. Waiters are very friendly (and wear masks), orders don't take too long to arrive. Seats available outdoors and indoors. Price is generally OK. Coming back for the second time, I have mixed feelings on how friendly and responsive waiters are. It did not go entirely well on my second visit with friends

It looks like pizza, it's smell like pizza but no taste of pizza. We wich it had any taste even cheese, tomato or bread one. Havn't tried the pasta though

Hospitable staff, good food at a fair price, nice atmosphere

Found this popular eatery just around the corner from where I am staying. Went in for a pizza as the name suggests its a pizza store, but ended having the Sphaghetti and fish. At first I was suspicious but it was a great combination. The fish is delicately fried and layered on the sphaghetti. The restaurant is hidden off the street and offers some privacy from the noise. Highly recommend for a quick bite.

Full recommandation. Nothing fancy, simply good.

Hands down the best pasta in addis ababa order had telatele with meat and extra cream and deepfried fish and they never dissappoint I've eaten there a lot the food does take a while to get to you when its busybody beyond that it's adequate also the waiters are the best I would say they are so friendly.

Love this place, it's one of my favorite places in Addis. They have good food with fair price and good customer service.

While eating, they brought a waste disposal truck and started disposing toilet waste infront of us while eating, we couldn't bear the smell and the view so we went out with out eating but they insisted we pay. We complained to the Manger but was no help

The establishment is renowned for providing outstanding service and boasts a number of impressive amenities that contribute to a thoroughly enjoyable experience for its patrons. Guests can indulge in delectable cuisine that turns dining into a delightful affair. Nonetheless, the restaurant and restroom spaces are quite limited in size, which may pose a challenge for some, given their compact nature. Parking is another area that can be problematic, as it frequently requires guests to park farther away and enjoy a short walk to reach the venue. Additionally, it's worth noting that the food can be quite pricey, so it's advisable to check the menu beforehand to ensure it aligns with your budget.

Hello, just wanted to let you know how worse celavi has been going down through out the year Just look at disgrace we faced while we were eating even after complaining to the manager we got no solution i dont tnk this is allowed in FOOD Inspection authority When i complained they blocked me tiktok

The worst experience ever! I ordered “Chicken Steak” and after a while the waiter brought fork, knife, etc. Then, she came back and said “Sorry, I didn’t know it’s a burger” and picked the stuff she brought. I told her that I ordered steak not burger. She replied “If you order from large menu, it’s a burger, if you order from small menu, it’s steak”. How can someone know it if there’s no any clue on the menu? The title says “Chicken”, and the food says “Chicken Steak”, then, how can this be a burger? I paid for the food that I didn’t order. I will never go back there.

Had to wait 1 hour and 30 minutes for the pizzas to be delivered. Called several times but they always said the pizzas were on the way. The pizzas were obviously cold when i received them, with the aluminium foil of the spicy sauce sticking in the cheese. The food was ok, but 354etb (7usd) is way too expensive for a normal pizza.

Looking for a place to eat in Bole Michael? You should check out Celavie. I especially like their Celavie Burger, tuna pizza, and chicken pizza. Their coffee is great too. I haven't had their juice, since I don't drink juice often, but definitely go to Celavie in Bole Michael.

We got the fried chicken and chicken burger I tried both and both were okay no hype to them the chicken was slightly taste less the chicken looked like fried but tasted more like baked.

Food and service both awesome here and the ambiance is old school small town goodness

Angla has fallen so far. For ten years, it was my favorite. Despite the rise of other great burger places, I held onto Angla, fueled by memories. But those memories are all that's left. Today, they were out of everything: the fish sandwich, the vegan burger, and my friend's choice, the Angal Special 4. I ended up with a vegetable sandwich, and my friend left without eating. The fries looked like scraps seriously it looked like they reheated someone else's left overs, and the sandwich was tasteless. The nostalgia is gone, replaced by disappointment. Angla is no longer a place for me.

I used to visit this spot 10 years ago because it was close to my gym and I loved eating their special burgers after my workouts.However in 2025 the quality has significantly declined the food tastes worse, the service is lacking and the place hasn’t had any upgrades. Unfortunately i don’t think I’ll be coming back this was my last visit.

I recently visited Angla Burger and found that the burgers were overrated. The place was usually empty, which made me question the quality of the food. The prices were expensive as well, and I was unimpressed with the taste. Overall, I would not recommend visiting Angla Burger.

There burger is nice. In fact its one of the best burger in town. Small in quantity and a little higher in price. We've tried the Angela Special 1 best taste.

I was there for lunch...no fries after ordering...begged 3/4 times for bill...almost felt like they didn't want me there. Waited until burger was done to get the worst fries ever.

This is hilarious ... the actual restaurant differs from the photos which belongs to a other branch! Plus, horrible burger.... don't waste your money nor time

Cade Burger and I was a bit disappointed. The burger used to be of good quality and at an affordable price, but now it seems that it is overpriced and doesn't have the same quality as before. I found the service to be decent, but the portion size was inadequate for the price. On the whole, Cade Burger is still an alright place, but I wouldn't recommend it given the high prices and lower quality compared to how it used to be.

This place is good we tried their double burger and its tasty and soo big that you won't need dinner if you ate it at lunch. But their catch up was a bit soared and the meat was not up to the standards. The bread was much of the portion of the Burger. Over all we enjoyed it. The price is 270ETB vat included.

It used to be one of the best burger places in the city but not anymore.

If you love burger don't come here

Considering from other burger places it’s great, portion is great and the sauce tastes great but the quality of the meat is not that good it contain lots of small bones and the fries are to dry.

This used to be one of my favorite burger places. Me and my friend ordered takeaway the other day, the meat and chicken had definitely gone bad. The bread was stale. It tasted really off. I really hope they work on it in the future. Major inconsistencies.

Totally hated it.. the test is not the same as before... the beef they use tasted like it has been it the refrigerator for a while... and to top it all of , their price is high

I recently dined at a charming restaurant that truly impressed with its inviting atmosphere and delicious food with a friend. We ordered the spaghetti with chicken sauce, which was a delightful dish. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the creamy chicken sauce was flavorful. Each bite was comforting and satisfying. We also tried the beef stroganoff. This dish was nothing short of spectacular. The beef was complemented by a luscious sauce, served over french fries that soaked up some of the sauce that gave the flavors beautifully. Lastly, we tried there Cakes and it was nice. Overall, the combination of a great atmosphere and outstanding food made for a memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu!

A good place to meet someone and just chat for a bit. Your typical cafe but with a wide variety of food. Good service too. A bit over priced tho.

This place is both a pastry shop and a restaurant with a Turkish atmosphere. They're famous for their baklava, which is honestly amazing. They also have a restaurant on the mezzanine floor that serves decent food. I highly recommend everyone to try their pastries, especially their baklava.

​On the ground floor there are eat-in tables for the confectionery and the café, and on the second floor tables there are simple tables mainly for the restaurant, including two pairs of sofa seats. It's a valuable place to eat real Arabic food, especially Syrian shawarma in Addis Ababa. ​ # Addis Ababa # Ethiopia　# Shawarma

We tried iced caramel tea spris, but the iced caramel was inaccurate. It was close to juice taste, the view was good, the door was chosen for a date, and long working vibes

The restaurant has a very cool and clean atmosphere. The waiter was friendly and served us kindly. I really enjoyed my visit! I ordered the special chicken burger and margarita pizza with a fruit punch. Everything was amazing!

The cake we ordered for my daughter’s birthday was so disappointing. The taste was so bad. We ordered a chocolate cake but there was no chocolate flavor at all, and pure sugar and brown coloring only. It appears to be artificial flavors. This man was supposedly invited on EBS to showcase his famous cakes, so we were very excited to buy his cake, but it ended up tasting terrible. None of our guests ate the cake and we threw it away, and sadly this cake costed us 7,000 birr. The only thing he did well was the outside design. This was an absolute waste and embarrassment.

It is average. The service is a little slow but the food counters that....it can also host some programs apparently. And the gym is great. The place is packed with historical things so you won’t get bored waiting.

This place is ok but the service was disappointing. We were a group of friends and ordered drinks and 5 or 6 plates of food. It was over an hour late and the place was not even that busy. But the most annoying part was they served another table that came after us and they were served immediately. We had vegetable pizza, fish goulash and fish combo. The food was good. The atmosphere is ok but the music is too loud to hold a conversation. Overall its ok but can be improved especially with their service.

Our first time to this gem of a place from the old era of the music (Roha Band) were playing live with the two original members including Govanni. What an amazing exhibition of the sax playing. The simply delicious and probably the best shiro wot I have had in a long time. It is one place in Addis Ababa that has recognised the need for efficient and attentive service without overwhelming guests with too many untrained and intrusive waiting staff. Well done to the team.

Everything was good, especially the Band performed well. But every time during the breaks, horrible trash music was played at such a deafening volume that it sounded like the gentle sound of the sea as the jet took off and you stood next to it. I have never experienced anything like this in my life and can only hope that I don't have any permanent hearing loss. Thank God I escaped in time. Never again! Today the Roha Band was supposed to play there, which we would have loved to see and hear, and that would have been the last opportunity before we left. But with this DJ guy we saved ourselves and went somewhere else, which is a shame.

I will never go to this bar again. One day we went to this place to have a good time with family's during the live band time. Once the band done they start a DJ service and then one of my family member went to the Dj and asked him to play tigrigna music. Unfortunately the Dj said the owner of this bar will not allow me to play such musics. We all shocked by his response. What a racist owner he is?

Good ambience. Unfortunately they are very unsensentive to other cultures. They played two tigrinya songs half way.(very insulting). It would have been best that they didn't play any at all. So if you want a place that respects all cultures, this definitely is not one

Ambiance and excellent customer service. We had ordered Shekla Tibs and were a bit surprised to get something w Broccoli and egg on the side. Unusual and not tasty at all but will try something else next time.

This pasta was a delightful surprise, offering the perfect balance of flavor and texture. The sauce was rich and savory, complementing the perfectly al dente noodles. The seasoning was spot-on, with a harmonious blend of herbs and spices that elevated every bite. The use of fresh ingredients was evident, from the vibrant tomatoes to the fragrant basil. Each mouthful felt indulgent yet comforting, making it a dish to remember. Whether you're a pasta lover or a casual diner, this is a must-try for anyone craving an authentic and satisfying meal. Highly recommended for a fulfilling culinary experience!

I have been to the old Andiamo in Kebena ages ago but didn’t remember if I liked it or not. But a few friends liked the pasta there and I was looking forward to check it out. The second branch of Andiamo occupies what looks like the reception area of a building. Not sure I like it. The food was ok, nothing to write home about and I felt like I can make better versions of both dishes! Also, they do not serve alcohol! No beers and no wines - not great.

The pasta 🍝 was very delicious it is pesto but the steak 🥩 was juicy and not good meat for steak. My brother had pasta with chicken and salad 🥗 mine was better than him. The washroom wasn’t maintained well.

We had the pasta sampler and the lasagna they both tasted delicious. The interior design is appealing and the service was great.

The small pasta sample was good but only one of the pasta were hot the other were cold and the lasagna was very watery cold at the bottom and all you can taste was rosemary. The chief was very rude. When we try to communicate

They have the best pasta that you will ever find and also suitable for fasting I recommend you go there

The food is good but the place is not clean we found a bug in the plate

The only food I do eat in here is a chicken wrap, not bad. I like the atmosphere, the view is much better on the outdoor seats. It's a place I sometimes go to, when I feel lazy to cook, so I like that it's located in my neighborhood.

The worst food,service and unfair price, see the bills. I orderd beef wrap an hour later the Waiter come to me with beef burger, the bread and salad in it was not fresh, I ordered tuna wrap (2nd order) and it was partially burned, unfortunately i couldn't get enough time to change this order, I will not recommend you this place🙌🙌

I ate a cheese burger it was fatty & had unchiwable meat. The price, service & outlet branding was great.

I had their special pizza and Burger. They are tasty and I was served nicely.

I have gone to this branch first time, Food in this branch is very bad, We have been to other WOW branches and we appreciate food there. To describe our experience... Burger is just served with just chicken patty. Pizza base is very thick and half cooked. Base batter is still uncooked I cannot describe Veg sandwich.

Margarita pizza is completely bland here, even if it's the simplest pizza on the menu that's no excuse to make it so carelessly, the sauce has no flavor, waste of money. Service staff are nice and polite

For the love of God don't go there!!!! I ate their chicken shawarma(half of it) and i am so sick! Their food is not healthy and this is the second time i have been sick after eating there

It used to be one of the best Kitfo houses in Addis. Now mostly it is a hotel not a good restaurant. Don't waste your time and money at this place.

That's not what I expected from a traditional house the seats are uncomfortable the food is not comparable with other similar houses. It is more suitable for hotel than a traditional kitfo house.

Bekelech Hotel. i happened to slip in to the well known Bekelech kitfo for lunch, which have been loved for more than 46 years and figured out that Bekelech Kitfo has began a standard hotel services. Delux , standard and twin rooms with amazing speed wifi! i also come to know and seen that the guys are renting halls, which are beautiful with an option of open air space at the roof of the hotel's building. i love all the infrastructure with the wide n secured parking under surveillance of the hotel's security. n wow, the "kitfo"! the room is so nice, well furnished with fine materials. it the ideal place for night life of addis and all the lively stuffs. Enjoy!

Had a late lunch on a day that was ቅበላ . It was understaffed-we practically begged for service, the kitfo was unseasoned tasteless, and the kocho had flour in it.

Was there with my friends and they enjoyed the food very much 👍🏼

Best Kitfo in Addis!!

Known for making the best "kitfo" which is an Ethiopian Favorite Traditional Food.

I tried the beefy bite burger and it was not good the only good part was the bread. The bun they used was the exact burger bun. It is only Beef and bread has no cheese no.. I don't recommend the Beffy bite may be the double burger might have cheese I don't know not fair...

The burgers were really nice when the place first opened but now everything tastes so bad. Especially the beef burrito 🌯 I'm not even sure they know what a burrito is. They also served us raw uncooked fries as "special fries" and refused to fix it.

I have no word to express my dissatisfaction. From the food quality to their price it's the worst.

I wish I could give it no star. I am being too nice for even giving it a 1 star. I ordered a beef burrito and I couldn’t be more disappointed with what they gave me. I have no words but NEVER NEVER order a burrito from this place! Hands down one of the worst and most disappointing experience!

One of the best burger in Addis the mini burger and big bite have the best test

Nice food but to use the toilet you have to go round the palace

Service and quality of food has declined significantly.

I got here by a friend recomendation absolutly love the food thw atmosphere in there was a little low cuz of the time but i love the food and the service was good and love the entrace traditional coffee area.

Friendly service

Very disrespectful

(Translated by Google) I found too many children and they were only talking about a certain "Lyon". Abundant food but nothing special. The service however would be 0 stars because I serve myself. As I said before, the environment was too childish. Rated 2 stars. (Original) Ho trovato troppi bambini e si parlava solo di un certo "Lyon". Cibo abbondante ma niente di che. Il servizio invece sarebbe 0 stelle perchè mi servo da solo. Come dicevo prima ambiente troppo bambinesco. Voto 2 stelle.

(Translated by Google) I was born in '66, I never knew what depression was until my two children, 13 and 17, contracted it. It was a very difficult time for them but at a certain point everything became easier, I saw them smiling more, less tired, and less shy. I soon discovered that it was thanks to their favorite YouTuber Lyon Uen Gayners Feil. My husband and I, even though we are divorced, felt the need to go and thank Lyon in person for helping our family but also to surprise our children. Last May we went to Addis Ababa just to meet him in the Fan club. We had to wait a bit, first they served us food: as a first course, the fennel pyramid and second course Sgabirro alla Cutrettola. That day we were lucky because Lyon (the chef) came out of the kitchen, our two children noticed him and went to hug him. The strimer was very kind to them and to all of us, he made my children's dream come true and calmed my family.❤️❤️❤️ (Original) Sono nata nel '66,non ho mai saputo cosa fosse la depressione finché i miei due figli di 13 e 17 anni l'hanno contratta. È stato un periodo molto difficile per loro però a un certo punto tutto era diventato più semplice,li vedevo più sorridenti,meno stanchi,e meno timidi. Presto scoprii che era grazie al loro youtuber preferito Lyon Uen Gayners Feil. Io e mio marito nonostante siamo divorziati abbiamo sentito il bisogno di andare a ringraziare Lyon di persona per aver aiutato la nostra famiglia ma anche per fare una sorpresa ai nostri figli. Lo scorso maggio andammo ad Addis Abeba proprio per incontrarlo nel Fan club.Dovemmo aspettare un po',prima ci servirono da mangiare:come primo,la piramide ai finocchi e secondo Sgabirro alla Cutrettola. Quel giorno fummo fortunati perché Lyon (lo chef) uscì dalla cucina i nostri due figli lo notarono e andarono ad abbracciarlo. Lo strimer è stato molto gentile con loro e con noi tutti,ha reso il sogno dei miei figli realtà e ha calmato la mia famiglia.❤️❤️❤️

(Translated by Google) Delicious food, too bad the staff were shouting at the top of their lungs for no apparent reason and the walls had extremely saturated colours. However, I give 4 stars to the staff because Mrs. Nunzia Concetta Franceschina was very kind. (Original) Cibo buonissimo, peccato che lo staff urlava a squarciagola senza un motivo apparente e i muri avevano colori estremamente saturati. Do' comunque 4 stelle allo staff perché la signora Nunzia Concetta Franceschina è stata gentilissima.

(Translated by Google) Place to try if you are thinking of visiting Adis Ababa, truly magnificent, delicious food (Original) Posto da provare se si pensa di visitare adis abeba, magnifico veramente, cibo buonissimo

So fun its sooo nice there

There is no pizza... And no burger I don't recommend Fevan burger and pizza Bad

Well manged bar and restaurant excellent location

Classic bar

A decent place with delicious injera and cold beers!

They didn’t have any bathroom or even a sink to wash your hans 👎🏼 and the food Not that much !

My friend I went there as we have been suggested we would be served a delicious pizza with outstanding customer service. Our expectations were high, but we were unlucky; poorly trained (or maybe not) waitress, dirty tables, and disgusting waiting time, and finally served with nothing but a round thin bread.

Fresh and tasty pizza with a very friendly service and affordable price as well.

One of the best places to eat pizza&Burger in Addis

Test the best pizza

The pizza is good.

The thing i love about this place is it's situated in a condominum area in addis ababa...that is rare to find... this place is the only cafe in all the summit condominums.

Good

The food was overpriced around 50% more from their competitor amfo the chicken took to long to come out the design and qdecor of the place is bland and the chicken doesn't taste as good as amfos quire dissapointing

Delicious
