Ethiopian restaurant
Immerse yourself in the vibrant heart of Addis Ababa at Yod Abyssinia Traditional Restaurant, where you can savor an authentic Ethiopian dining experience. This renowned establishment offers a beautifully designed atmosphere bustling with locals and visitors alike. Whether you're celebrating with a large group or enjoying an intimate family gathering, the attentive service enhances your visit.
What an experience last night at the Yod Abyssinia restaurant. You are greeted by a well designed layout of art and culture. The stage is positioned in a way that everyone can have a clear view of the stage and the performers. From the moment I walked into the restaurant, I was attended to by a host and a server. Once I placed my dinner order for the 1/2 kg goat platter, some was bringing me a bowl to wash my hands with soap and water. My drink came out fast and was that’s when the magic happened. For the next 1.5 hours, the crowd was treated to singing, dancing, instrumental sound and an experience. I was incredibly impressed and grateful to have coming to this wonderful establishment.

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!
Urban U — Google review
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.

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.

French restaurant
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Addis Ababa, La Mandoline French Restaurant offers a delightful escape into the world of exquisite French cuisine. This charming eatery captures the essence of Paris with its elegant decor, featuring vintage posters and rustic wooden furnishings that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Diners can indulge in meticulously crafted dishes that highlight traditional French culinary techniques, such as succulent beef filet drizzled with Roquefort sauce and perfectly baked escargots.
Amazing food, best restaurant we found in Addis Ababa . Great atmosphere! Beautiful and cosy design. Every dish was excellent and the service was great (not the best English, but tried to do their best). Highly recommended if you are in Addis and want to have a yummy high level meal.

One of the best restaurants in the country - read this tagline doubted but now I confirm it is true. The bread is warm and crunchy. The dipping was great. Ordered foie gras and beef tartare both up to 1st world standard. The food portion is very big so I couldn’t finish the food. It is quite an expensive restaurant in local standard too

Lovely comfortable restaurant with a pleasantly surprising menu unlike any other in Addis. Sat outside for lunch. The staff was attentive (not searching for a waitress for more napkins or salt), but checked in often enough to feel like they took pride in the service they were giving. Food was amazing. Just a little confusion with the bill but an over all great experience!

Ethiopian restaurant
2000 Habesha Cultural Restaurant, located in Bole, Addis Ababa, offers a unique Ethiopian cultural dining experience. Guests can enjoy a variety of traditional Ethiopian dishes served without cutlery in the customary style of eating with hands. The restaurant features low-slung wooden seating and serves a range of authentic Ethiopian cuisine, including injera accompanied by sauteed spinach, spicy potatoes, caramelized onions, red peppers, raw beef cubes, and vegetarian options.
This place was a nice get away from the city a hidden gem, the food was good and well priced 2400 for rice with vegetables salad water and 2 ginger teas. The music it self was cool and chilling they rotated performers which kept thing interesting. Was treated well as a tourist. Highly recommend the music tends to start at 7 30 pm

Nice experience for a non-local, to discover Ethiopian food, music and dance. The show was great with excellent musicians, singers and dancers. The dancers are very impressive. The restaurant is spacious and you can even join the stage to dance at some point, which is fun. Food was good. As a group, we had lots of meat and vegetable dishes served on a large injera, from which we to ate collectively with our hands. A fun experience if you have an open mind.

I tried the Doro Wot but unfortunately it didn’t meet my expectations. I also found the prices to be on the higher side compared to other traditional restaurants. On the positive side, the atmosphere is pleasant and does reflect a traditional vibe. Personally, I don’t think I will be visiting again.
Juliana S — Google review
They say this is most the authentic Ethiopian restaurant in whole Addis Ababa. I cannot disagree, but I didnt saw them much. I just know the food, the very same food we ate the day before was spmehow even better then here, and for sure it was cheaper. But, here atmosphere is very alive, you have dancers, singers, so it's more about that then food in my opinion. We ordered a lot of food, we ate everything, you will not exit hungry from here. For 3 of us bill was 5229 birrs (in August 2024 that was 86€ + tip). Edut: In May 2025 5229 birrs is 35€. Inflation? Yes.

2000 Habesha Cultural Restaurant delivers the full Ethiopian experience – delicious, authentic food paired with excellent live cultural music and dances that are simply amazing. If you’re visiting Addis for tourism, this place is a must. The restaurant is clean, well-organized, and has a welcoming atmosphere. Location is convenient, prices are excellent, and the overall value is unbeatable. A perfect spot to enjoy Ethiopia’s flavors, sounds, and traditions all in one place.

Yemeni restaurant
Bait Al Mandi is a renowned restaurant in Addis Ababa, offering a true taste of Middle Eastern cuisine and Arab hospitality. The specialty dish is the traditional Mandi rice, slow-cooked with aromatic spices and served with marinated meat or fish. Housed in a former residential building, the restaurant features eight dining rooms designed after different Middle Eastern countries.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bait Al Mandi……. Simply the Best! We’re visitors from Australia and the United Kingdom, and during our stay in Ethiopia, Bait Al Mandi has become our absolute favorite spot. We’ve been coming here throughout our entire visit, and every single time, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The service quality and efficiency are beyond words, genuinely unmatched. The staff are always kind, attentive, and deserving of every tip. The owner himself is one of a kind: warm, welcoming, and always willing to go above and beyond to help in any way possible. You can truly feel the baraqah in this place. The food, the hospitality, the atmosphere everything comes together perfectly. It’s rare to find a place that makes you feel so cared for and satisfied every single time. Without a doubt, this is a five star experience, and we can’t wait to come back again. Bait Al Mandi isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a beautiful experience. The best of the best!

Extremely disappointing: Why do some restaurants in Ethiopia feel A “delivery and takeaway” services deserves to be treated with the worst cut of meat? The portions, selection of the meat cut “there is a big difference between lamb and mutton” For the past few months, we were told about the food at this restaurant and we decided to order for delivers. Meant to have 1/4 chicken, 2 x Lamb vegetable, rice etc . The only thing that was correct from the order was the amount of rice sent to us. The “lamb bone” was actually old mutton then the 1/4 checkin had the worst (no chicken meat) side of the Chicken which was not edible at all! A quarter of a chicken means “you divide the chicken into four equal parts” not sell of the side of the chicken that should be thrown out or used for “stoke” purposes only … This was a meal for two costing (in the local market terms) a substantial amount. Not ordering from here again and we suggest those who do, ask for a proper ration of the portions not be given the cast offs!

⭐ 1/5 — Very disappointing experience I ordered the special Mandi and Fahsa, but both were poorly prepared. The Mandi tasted old and dry, and the Fahsa was served cold. The food quality didn’t match the price at all. I expected authentic Yemeni flavor, but this was one of the worst experiences I’ve had.

I luv Yemeni style cooking & have been to all the restaurants in Addis, most are substandard, while this joint serves the absolute delight ful Mandi. The lamb was cooked to perfection. The price quite reasonable about 1600, enough for two. The soup & the sahuka rocks. The same Mandi in NYC easily could cost many times & not taste as good. My only grievance is injera should be an option. for the soup soaked with injera would be wow.

Very clean and organized. The foods are very good and the service is also excellent. There are wide variety of foods to choose from and a few drinks. There are complimentary soups and tea. If u r looking for Mediterranean foods in addis this is one of the good places to check out.

I recently dined at bet al mendi and unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. From the outset, I was disappointed by the portion sizes. The servings were surprisingly small. To make matters worse, the meat appeared to be leftover, lacking the freshness and appeal one would expect from a dining establishment. When I addressed my concerns with the manager, rather than offering a solution or an apology, he attempted to justify these shortcomings. This approach felt dismissive and did not align with the level of service I anticipated. Overall, I hoped for a more enjoyable dining experience but left feeling let down.

Fine dining restaurant
Marcus Addis Restaurant & Sky Bar is an upscale dining spot located on the top floor of the Capital Hotel and Spa, offering breathtaking views of Addis Ababa's skyline. The restaurant serves a diverse range of international cuisine, including steak, sushi, and pasta. Guests praise the exceptional service and recommend making reservations well in advance due to its popularity. Visitors appreciate the stunning ambiance and attentive staff, making it a must-visit for those seeking a memorable dining experience with panoramic city views.
I recently had the pleasure of having dinner at Marcus Addis Restaurant And Sky Bar and it was exceptional. This dining experience perfectly represents Ethiopia’s modernisation. It offered a unique consolidation of traditional Ethiopian dishes with western influenced cuisines. Every dish was presented with care. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The restaurant was located on the 47th floor and the view was absolutely spectacular. The ambience was stunning, magnificent decor, and they brilliantly integrated comfort and elegance. A special mention goes to staff members, who truly made our evening memorable and we felt truly valued as guests. Post-dinner the staff offered to give us a private tour of the entire restaurant which occupies an entire floor which topped-off our lovely experience. Overall the service was fantastic. I understand why Marcus Addis Restaurant And Sky Bar has gained traction in the city. It truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a terrific dining experience in Addis Ababa. Side note: We took couple videos which is on our page and linked to Google Maps.

From the time the reception confirmed my reservation twice at around 11am as I did move my reservation to another date once, I was impressed at their consistency of what time to confirm reservations. The place was as lovely and even more than I expected and better than all the videos I saw prior to our arrival. Chef Marcus is talented of course, but better than his amazing talent lies a view and an elevator ride that is worth a visit to this place. The price is very affordable and my date and I were surprised as we stared at our bill and already planned another visit very soon.

Swedish celebrity chef Marcus Sameulson's sky restaurant atop a high rise. Defined an experience you want to enjoy while in Addis Ababa. The cuisine is African fusion with varying international interpretations. I had the scallops which were forgettable, and I was with a large group so there were too many other dishes to get a vibe. The cocktails were perfection. If you're looking for that celebrity chef restaurant experience, this the place. There's a DJ spinning and the atmosphere is wonderful. You need reservations and you should dress to impress.

Marcus Addis presents a truly breathtaking concept. Perched high in a stunning Addis Ababa high-rise, the venue offers amazing panoramic views. The physical space is beautifully divided into intimate settings, a stylish bar, a lounge, and a dinner area all of which are outstanding and worthy of a five-star designation. I will give full credit where it's due: the ambiance and location are world-class. However, the experience falls short of its immense potential. For a setting of this caliber, the expectation is a seamless, seven-star, ultra-luxurious, and formally impeccable establishment. Currently, there are significant gaps. The most notable issue lies in the staff's professionalism, discipline, and general coordination. The service lacks the flawless, anticipatory quality required, from the moment one enters to the moment one leaves. Furthermore, the food was mediocre. I understand the chef is working hard to pioneer a fusion of Ethiopian cuisine with European influences—an ambitious and commendable experiment. Yet, in its current execution, it does not meet the mark for a restaurant that aims for the pinnacle of fine dining. In summary, Marcus Advis has all the foundational elements of a legendary dining destination: the view, the location, and the beautiful settings. However, to transition from a place of great potential to an undisputed leader, there is substantial work needed in service execution and culinary refinement. It feels very much like a "work in progress."

Fantastic experience. I wasn’t planning to dine in to be honest as I just wanted to get the panoramic sunset view from the 47th floor but I was told I can’t use my camera which is a ridiculous thing I find in Addis. The views were amazing, wasn’t the best sunset though. We had starters, mains , drinks and dessert which was nicely made but incredibly pricey compared to the city. Overall it’s worth it and a recommended experience.

Restaurant
Kategna Restaurant is a popular Ethiopian dining spot in Addis Ababa, known for its authentic and diverse menu. Unlike many local eateries, Kategna offers a wide variety of dishes, including some that are rarely found outside of homes due to their complexity. The restaurant takes pride in serving traditional Ethiopian delicacies such as doro wat (chicken stew) and conducts a traditional coffee roasting ceremony that fills the air with an enticing aroma.
Now this was a spectacular experience for my taste buds. For anyone travelling to Addis Abeba, Ethiopia (Katanga restaurant) is a MUST. Beautifully traditional dining experience. What’s on show today was jaw dropping the pictures do not capture the mind blowing aromas & spicies presented to us. My colleagues and I sat in awe as very large sized plates were served/shared perfectly amongst us. With the staple traditional teff injera (this super-soft, slightly sour pancake-like, spongy unique base) covered the plate to soak in all of the species of this spectacular dish. Hopefully you’ve been able to picture what we were experiencing from this description, if not just look and marvel at the pictures. The diced spicy lamb mixed with herbs, spices & chilli’s traditional (Awaza Tibs) was a favourite & one I’d definitely recommend. The other large plate had an array of colours with a mix a different options. With salads, traditional Shirou & Misera(Vegan favourites), aswell as diced lamb for meat lovers so we can all eat together as one. Eating is a union here in Ethiopia and inside Ethiopian restaurants you’ll notice it is done together. (Make sure to understand the traditional protocol of washing your hands before you eat, it is a must!)

I went in for a late lunch and was not disappointed. The food was excellent, and it felt amazing to return to this restaurant after six years and find the same great vibe and consistency in quality.

Kategna is an absolute gem of a restaurant and an experience you won't want to miss. We started with the meat firfir, and every bite was an incredible blend of savory spices and tender injera. The siga wot was equally impressive—the meat was so flavorful and cooked to perfection, with a rich, authentic sauce that truly stood out. ​Beyond the fantastic food, the entire atmosphere of the place is magical. The interior is stunning, filled with beautiful, intricate Ethiopian artifacts and decor that create a warm, inviting, and truly immersive dining environment. It’s clear that so much thought went into every detail. ​What really sealed the deal for us was the service. The staff was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout our entire meal, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It was genuinely a top-class experience from start to finish. I can't recommend Kategna enough; it's the perfect spot for delicious, authentic Ethiopian food and a wonderful evening out.

A specifically came to this restaurant for their doro wat, but what I seem to have been served is a small tiny drumstick of chewy meat in a big bowl of sauce with one egg. I paid a premium price for this. Everything else was fine at the restaurant. But my main dish was minuscule and chewy. I'm definitely not returning to this restaurant.

This place is probably the best place for exclusive Ethiopian food and the food is very amazing we ordered doro firfir and quanta dirkosh with kitfo and we also ordered some firfir with meat and with no butter. it was heavenly the doro firfir had chicken that fell of the bone, the quanta is crisy yet succulent, and the kitfo has a very exceptional texture with flawless flavour to die for! Though the firfir with no butter had some sort of rope in it , and its not bad but it had to much garlic. So honestly the overall rating is 9.8/10. Would go again!👍

Meskott Culinary Experience, located near Arat Kilo in the heart of Addis Ababa, offers an elegant atmosphere and a fusion menu that combines Ethiopian and international cuisines. The restaurant provides both indoor and outdoor seating, with a cozy and luxurious vibe. The staff is known for their friendly and attentive service, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Meskott's interior is modern and inviting, featuring different dining areas including a garden section.
My recent dining experience was truly exceptional. The ambiance was incredibly inviting, with a soothing soundtrack creating a perfectly relaxed atmosphere. The food, however, was the star of the show. We ordered the orange chicken, Lasagna, and beef. I particularly enjoyed the orange chicken; it was a delightful balance of sweet and savory. In fact it might as well be the best chicken I’ve had. I'd heard some mixed reviews about their service, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was prompt and efficient, and our food arrived surprisingly quickly. All in all, a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!

I really liked Meskott Culinary Experience restaurant as it had live music, a violin 🎻and harmonium. The music was calm but happy. The food was very good too, I had the beef ribs with corn and pineapple 🍍 and I really liked it. Totally recommend it! The service was super polite and fast, I have informed by my sweet waitress that there is a live on Thurs and Saturdays too. The cheesecake was too sour for my taste. But overall staff and atmosphere was amazing. The place is very spacious with different levels. Totally recommend it!

Great Atmosphere and Amazing Food! This restaurant is a hidden gem! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both romantic dates and business meetings, especially at night when the atmosphere is even more charming. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared to perfection. Service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall great experience. The only minor downside is that parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s definitely worth the effort. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience!

I’ve been to Meskot a couple of times and always enjoyed it. The food is tasty and the service is friendly. Prices feel a bit on the high side for me, so it’s not a spot I’d go to all the time. I liked the beef steak and roasted chicken, even if the portions are smaller. It’s a nice place for a small group or a date night.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, availability of parking space and the service but down side is the limited menu options mainly European dishes no Ethiopian variety. The price also is a bit toomuch. I paid more than a thousand birr for a regular pasta ...pricy

⭐⭐⭐ Mixed Experience at Meskott Culinary – Great Atmosphere but Overpriced I visited Meskott with friends for lunch, and while the atmosphere was lovely and the service was excellent, the prices were extremely expensive. We ordered fasting dishes (since it was a fasting day), and the bill was surprisingly high for what we got. The food was good, but not outstanding enough to justify the cost. If you’re looking for a nice ambiance and don’t mind splurging, Meskott is a decent choice. However, for the price, I expected a more exceptional dining experience.

I think meskott might be one of the topshelf spots in Addis i'm impressed with the ambience plus the service is really professional with an open kitchen. we went there for a family thing and i gotta say it felt like i was in a micheline star restaurant with the culinary excellence. I had to taste every plate on our table from the lasagna(not as hot as i'd prefer but great taste), the orange chicken(real good not great), mixed grill (great presentation, plus the fish was tge best of all grills, the beef, not as great but portion enough for 2), the deboned beef ribs(relatively,the best dish with a new take on barbeque sauce and smooth mashed potatoes). the price is expensive but definitely worth it, i hope they stay consistent with the service and constant with the price. I'd reccomend place like this for special occassions. Great culinary experience indeed, Meskott. Really nice job.

A truly first-class restaurant here in Addis Ababa. The food is masterfully prepared, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is elegant. The prices are actually pretty reasonable too. So this makes this restaurant possibly the best in town. They do accept credit cards.

With 22 branches across Addis Ababa and an exciting international presence marked by its Tokyo location opened in 2015, Tomoca Coffee stands as a testament to quality and tradition.
The oldest cafe in Ethiopia! The walls and vibe here just tell so many stories of the importance coffee is to the people. The coffee was very strong so I recommend going early in the day to start your day right.

Tomoca Coffee – Piassa Branch (by Eliana Hotel, on the way to St. George Cathedral) One of my favorite coffee spots in Addis. The vibe is classic and always full of energy. The smell of freshly roasted beans pulls you in the moment you walk by. Their macchiato is my go-to rich, smooth, and just the right kick. Quick service, no extra fuss, but the taste always delivers. If you're around Piassa, this place is a must-stop.

Stand up coffee bar serving good coffee (but poor tea for non coffee drinkers). Service quick and friendly. Prices reasonable. The coffee isn’t the best: it comes from their own roasted blend of Harare and Yergacheffe coffee (single source is better) that is sold in supermarkets in Ethiopia.

Bold espresso and rich heritage at Tomoca Coffee ☕🌍 Stopped by Tomoca Coffee, and tried their espresso—intense, aromatic, and beautifully roasted 🇪🇹🔥. It’s exactly what you’d expect from one of Ethiopia’s most iconic coffee houses: bold flavor, smooth finish, and a deep, satisfying kick. If you enjoy your espresso strong and unapologetic, this one delivers 👌🏻☕. Tomoca is known for blending Ethiopian beans with Italian-style roasting, creating a signature profile that’s both authentic and refined. The ambiance is classic and welcoming, with a timeless charm that reflects the brand’s legacy in Addis Ababa 🏛️🫶. Staff are friendly and efficient, and the service feels personal even during busy hours. Whether you’re grabbing a quick shot or lingering over a macchiato, the experience is consistently high-quality. Highly recommend Tomoca Coffee for anyone seeking a true taste of Ethiopian espresso culture 🌟🫘.

Tomoca Coffee (short for Toreba Coffee Company) is one of Ethiopia’s most iconic and oldest coffee roasters, founded in 1953 in Addis Ababa. It is widely regarded as a symbol of Ethiopia’s rich coffee heritage and culture. Overview Full Name: Toreba Coffee Company (Tomoca) Founded: 1953 Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (with several branches around the city and abroad) Specialty: Traditional Ethiopian Arabica coffee, freshly roasted and brewed Description Tomoca Coffee is Ethiopia’s first coffee roasting company to serve locally roasted and ground coffee directly to customers. The brand blends Ethiopian Arabica beans from famous growing regions such as Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, Harar, and Limu, known for their rich aroma and complex flavors. Inside Tomoca’s cafes, you’ll find a blend of Ethiopian tradition and Italian espresso culture — a reflection of the company’s early use of Italian roasting and espresso machines. The aroma of freshly roasted beans fills the air, and baristas serve coffee in small, strong espresso cups or traditional Ethiopian styles like bunna.

Castelli's Restaurant, a renowned Italian eatery in Addis Ababa, has been serving delectable Italian cuisine since 1948. The restaurant boasts an illustrious history, having catered to famous writers, diplomats, and international celebrities over the years. Its menu features signature dishes such as homemade pasta, osso buco, and delightful tiramisu that have captivated visitors for decades.
Best Italian food I’ve ever had would be here. The taste was so refreshing and so delicious I had no complaints. The ravioli literally gave me foodgasm, it was that good. I would definitely go again just to experience that once more. Everything else was good, nice service the atmosphere makes it feel in the old days and the food was top notch.

I booked a table for two a day in advance for myself and my fiancé. They mixed up my booking, but they got us a table in less than five minutes. After being seated, I had to remind the waiter that we hadn't placed our order. We then waited an hour and fifteen minutes for our food to arrive. However, when the food was finally served and I took my first bite, all the inconveniences melted away. It was authentic Italian cuisine, like a plate from the heavens. Every moment of waiting was worth it. And We will definitely be back here.

We came with a large group and they did the best they could to accommodate us without a reservation. The pasta was very fresh and the server at the table was attentive. We waited over an hour for our entrees. The front desk cashier/manager could be more kind and welcoming. Was hoping for better tasting Italian as it came highly recommended. Not terrible but not great. In a very busy, congested area. No parking.

This is a cozy Italian restaurant around the Adwa Victory memorial in Piassa. Quite a glorious sight driving in when we went as the fountain was on and there were crowds, which makes the place even more memorable and worth getting to. We went there twice and there are a few highlights; the ambience is definitely that of an Italian restauarant, basic but quite aligned on how an Italian place should look like. First day we were walk-ins, but second day we had reservations. The foyer has photos of all VIPs who have patronized the restaurant, and there are plenty including Thabo Mbeki and Brad Pitt.🤗🤗 Food; I enjoyed the beef fillet steak with cream and mushrooms and the fettucinne pasta with truffle sauce, my partner also really enjoyed his fish. The salad was the worst ever and the french fries also horrid and we did not try dessert So stick to the Italian cuisine I guess. Not much Italian wine stock which is disappointing, but it is what it is. Service: fairly acceptable, but we had small issues like glass not being soo clean, and having to wipe, food handling as well might need some improvement. Service charge not included and the waiters remind you without fail. Yes, I would still go back again and again!!!!

Their food, they stick to the basics. We tried three different pastas with truffle, gorgonzola, and ham. Homemade pasta, the pasta itself -noodle- is excellent and the cream sauce is bit too buttery for me to finish everything, but savory for sure. Tried different Italian restaurants in Addis, this is the place for a creamy pasta:)

Went to Castelli's because we heard they make their own pasta and was greeted by the least welcoming person in Ethiopia. We ordered calamari and roasted vegetables for appetizer. The roasted vegetables were great and we could have used marinara sauce with the calamari. The rest of the food was bland and the stake was over cooked, but now we can say we had their pasta. The servers seemed tense, but considering how we were welcomed, it may be the culture of the house.

Castelli is an Italian restaurant. I had Linguine al Nero di Seppia which was amazing, I loved it! However, the Scaloppina al Vino was chewy, not so good. The dessert was Cassata which was nice. Overall I like the old look of the restaurant. Price: for two dishes, one dessert, one glass of wine and water was 2050Birr.

Nestled in the vibrant Kera district of Addis Ababa, Sishu Restaurant has become a beloved spot for both locals and the Ethiopian diaspora. This charming eatery is renowned for its mouthwatering burgers and sandwiches, making it a top choice when you're craving something different from traditional injera. While prices can reach up to 233 ETB ($9), patrons find that the quality of food and attentive service justify the expense.
The restaurant is located in a hall, creating a pleasant atmosphere that isn't too loud and features sustainably furnished decor. The menu is limited, but it's adequate if you enjoy burgers. The burgers are tasty, and the service is friendly. You can also take away burger buns, baguettes, and sourdough bread. I highly recommend the sourdough bread - it's fantastic. Reservations are generally not required, as there are usually enough tables available. Additionally, there is free parking right outside the door.

I enjoyed the flavors, although I had hoped for a slightly larger burger. Their steak sandwich, however, was delightful; it was both tasty and a generous portion. Much better than the burger. Overall, it is not for me, and not for the foodie guys out there. It is currently the most expensive and smallest burger in Addis. Overrated in my opinion!

Food quality was very good, but I think prices are overrated for such a small sized sandwiches and burgers. I suggest making a bigger sandwiches and burgers with same quality for same price.

My fellow humans I am in the continent of Africa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to be specific. Extremely excited about the cuisines and decided as a Londoner to include non-traditional Ethiopian food for this journey and I was recommended a very well known burger restaurant called Sishu. Lady and gentlemen it was absolutely delightful. The burger was delicious the fries were top-notch and the entire experience was amazing. I’m just saying the burger was sooooooo succulent and will be very hard to match. I love Ethiopian traditional food and branching out to a brilliantly delivered western cuisine in the country left me speechless. I would 100% recommend Sishu if you are ever in the capital.

This is one of the rare places in Addis Ababa where you can find high-quality American-style burgers. The restaurant is set inside a converted old warehouse, offering a spacious and airy atmosphere. The distance between tables is generous, giving a comfortable sense of privacy. While warehouse-style venues can often be noisy, it was pleasantly quiet during my visit, which made the experience even better. The burger was absolutely outstanding—easily a 10 out of 10. If you’re in Addis and craving a great burger, this place should be at the top of your list.

The Oriental in Addis Ababa is a Thai fusion restaurant offering a wide variety of dishes, including a standout seven-course tasting menu that can be paired with top-quality wines. The staff provides a spectacle-like experience with their choreographed movements. The restaurant has a beautiful view of Meskel Square and is recommended for special occasions. The food, especially the lamb shoulder, is highly praised, and the service is commendable despite occasional mix-ups with reservations.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hyatt Regency Addis, and the experience was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. What truly made the evening special was the outstanding service. We were warmly welcomed by Emebet, the hostess, who set the tone for the evening with her professionalism and kind demeanor. At the bar, Anteneh crafted excellent alcohol free drinks with skill and enthusiasm. Our servers, Hana and Asmamaw, were attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the night. Special thanks to Esayas and Yenenesh, the managers, whose presence and leadership were clearly reflected in the quality of service and attention to detail. Overall, Hyatt Regency Addis delivered an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-tier food, ambiance, and hospitality in Addis Ababa.

Asian cuisine is so diverse. And it may seem easy to make - toss a few things in a work with soy sauce and voila! But this is not the case. The Oriental, in all its glory with open plan kitchen and a brigade of chefs, have not been able to create authentic bakmie nor dumplings. The former didn't have noodles with bite, nor did the pepper sauce balanced; and the latter had leather tough skin and incorrect texture. On the bright side, this place has nice decor and views and warm service. The back of the house, however, need rethink, refine, and expose the team to what great Chinese - Indonesian- Malay cuisine actually taste like.

During my three-week stay in Addis, at the Hyatt where The Oriental is located, I had the pleasure of dining here five times. Each visit was more delightful than the last. On New Year’s Eve, they served a tasting menu that included the best steak tartare I’ve ever had. The Highland lamb shoulder and the Crispy Chilli Lamb were standouts for me—absolutely unforgettable. Beyond the incredible food, the service was impeccable. The staff was warm and attentive, and the ambiance of the restaurant was sophisticated and welcoming.

I've dined at this restaurant many times, and being Asian, I appreciate their Southeast Asian dishes. However, I still prefer their older menu items, especially the Tom Yum, which they sadly removed. The steak is mediocre and lacks any standout qualities. The other Asian dishes vary in taste each visit, sometimes delicious, other times too sour. I avoid weekends here as it's crowded and seems understaffed; service can be forgetful, requiring multiple reminders for drinks or the bill. Overall, it's a mixed experience for me.

I had a wonderful time at Hyatt — the atmosphere is amazing and the interior is beautifully designed, very warm and inviting. However, I found the food to be quite basic and not fully reflective of the pricing. I tried the Chef Hani mixed grill but, unfortunately, it wasn’t very impressive. I was also hoping to enjoy a wider selection of fresh juices, but the options were limited to only carrot and watermelon. Considering Ethiopia’s abundance of seasonal fruits, this was a bit disappointing for such a large hotel. I truly hope these areas will improve by my next visit, as the potential and ambiance of this place are excellent.

Price-quality aspect ratios to be considered upon, I can say, considering the luxury location and the overwhelming amount of food. Obtaining information is important which can be through signs referrals or communication. obtaining information is trough information at the front desk has been a pleasure. Characteristics of locations are important characteristics which are prominent can be positive as well as negative. I can say those characteristics of The Kitchen have a wetly and luxury feeling. We can say the objective of a visit is a positive experience, what positive experiences can be expected: Excellent food well prepared, many variations and different dishes available. Not everything is perfect in this world what challenges or improvement opportunities can be expected: (note this is my personal opinion) Just a minor comment it would be great if staff should ask more often if drinks are wished.

Amazing food, great atmosphere. Service; not so much. They moved us in because of the rain but left the food outside. The mains took 1 hour to arrive, by which time we were no longer hungry so we told them three times to pack it in a bag so that we could take it home. 10 minutes later, they tried to serve it to us. Eventually, we managed to get all the mains packed up and went home.

I was hoping to have an exceptional experience when it comes to the chicken wrap I ordered from this restaurant but it was a super dry and even difficult to swallow wrap. I ask the “chief” if he can put some sauce to the wrap since it was hard to eat which I’ve got a response saying, “ this is how we make our wrap.” Well, this is the last time I’m having any type of meal at this restaurant. Make sure not to make the same mistake I’ve made. Cheers

I also like the sugar cane juice. We will definitely be back!

The seating and area is beautiful, the wait staff was not bad. We had one person who ate some and choose takeaway. They were criticized for not eating there with the rest of the family. Both the meat and vegetarian wontons, and spring rolls were amazing. The beef with rice was excellent. Tofu was moderate and not seasoned at all, and the vegetable noodles were not good. Noodles were very dry and not much flavor. We were a bigger group on a Sunday. The area was very spacious, as well as covered outdoor seating. Food was quick to coming out. Overall a 3.5/5. Probably would not go back a second time.

It was my first time visiting and the food was delicious. I went with my family and we were seated right away (we came a bit earlier that the opening time at 6pm) 🎶 The music was calming and not to loud, it added to the atmosphere. We ordered dumplings, sweet and sour chicken Mapo Tofu, orange chicken rice and nuddels with vegetable. It didn't take long for the dumplings to come out with an array of sauces, which paired well with the dumplings🥟. The dough was a bit thick for my taste, however they still hit the spot. The other dishes came quickly after. The Mapo Tofu was the best.😋 It was numbing and had it's own taste. It was my first time trying this dish and I quit enjoin it. The orange chicken, however wasn't to my liking. It was too bitter and sweet. I do recommend the other dishes, however the Mapo Tofu was the best!!! The tea we ordered was a bit expensive for how bland it tasted.🍵 From the start there were candels on the table and while I was dinning there was an electrical outage. Which slightly confused me and through the atmosphere off. 🤵🏾‍♀️🤵🏾‍♂️The servers were very nice and helped us with the menu options, as well as light the candels when the lights went off. I will 100% eat here again, but maybe during the day.

Had the hot and sour soup, Excellent. Soup had extra vegetables that I liked. Just the right amount of spiciness as well. Then we tried the beef broccoli and sweet and sour chicken. All better than we expected. Will come again.

Sichuan Restaurant moved to this new location. The food is excellent and prepared with care. The owner decided to open a part of the restaurant, altough one part is still under construction, as customers were calling if he can serve. The current space is limited, but it is possible to also het the food delivered.

a little bit hidden, on the third floor (elevator at the end of the entrance hall) this chinese restaurant is worth a visit! served by the very friendly chef and owner itself we enjoyed the delicious food (chicken sweet and sour, chicken peanuts, spicy soup and vegetable spring rolls). everything we had was very tasty and l can definitely recommend this restaurant those who loves chinese food!

Dashen Traditional Restaurant is a truly authentic dining experience located near the city center of Addis Ababa. The restaurant's ambiance, with its stone walls and African art, offers a glimpse into Ethiopia's rich culinary history. Unlike many tourist-oriented establishments, Dashen stays true to traditional flavors that cater to loyal locals more than foreigners during lunchtime.
Dashen Restaurant reopened at its new location off of the Golagul roundabout in the Haya-hulet area. The new space is a 3,000 sqm compound of grassy area, old trees, and open outdoors ... very rare in a city where space has become the new measure of luxury. The restaurant is housed in a villa reminiscent of the bygone days when houses were built of stone and wood and built to last. Its many rooms have been beautifully revamped into different eating areas much like the previous Dashen. Beautifully done. The menu and dishes are the same classic Dashen quality food and ingredients that the brand is known for. The opening was an absolute success filled with friends and patrons from the previous location. It was a happy mood.

the reopend Dashen Terara Traditional Restaurant around 22 is just perfect! The compound is big (ሲኖ ትራክ ያስጋልባል 😂) , with plenty of parking space, no stress at all. The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, and the place looks really nice overall. The food is amazing, one of the best traditional spots you can find in the area. Everything tastes authentic and fresh. Service is good, though it could use a little improvement in speed and follow-up. But the supervisors are absolutely great, very professional and genuinely care about customers. 👏👏👏👍👍👍

A place to avoid. Food is average quality; there are many more tasty places in Addis Ababa. Prices are higher than other places, more than 2000 ETB for a portion of tibs... And service is very BAD. Intentionally or not? But they seriously offended us. It is difficult to forget this unpleasant experience.

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

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.

Conveniently located near Edna Mall, this charming spot offers an array of Asian-inspired dishes alongside local favorites and even a scrumptious Mexican wrap.

Truly outstanding. We are omnivores but we much preferred this flavorful, light, and delicious vegan version of traditional Ethiopian fare. [We tried the meat version elsewhere and found it chewy.] Excellent, friendly service and great value for money. A good range of non alcoholic beverages, but sadly no beer or wine for sale. That's ok. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The place had a great, relaxed vibe. Highly recommend this place!

Let me start by saying this hotel is stunning – a real beautiful oasis. The rooms are clean, tidy, and pleasantly new. Food was great, cocktails were spot on. BUT... our whole experience was wrecked by bees swarming the indoor and outdoor lounges. We moved seats three times trying to escape them! Turns out there's a beehive right on the terrace. Seriously? For a hotel classified as 5-star, this is just unacceptable. Trying to enjoy a meal or a drink with kids while dodging bees isn't exactly relaxing. Hyatt, please fix this! We love Hyatt!

Good location and service. It is a high end pricey place. They also have a big hall suitable for large meetings and smaller rooms for executive meetings.

Why are the bouncers so poorly trained? It’s ridiculous that they can just ruin someone’s night for no reason just because someone slipped them a little cash to harass actual paying customers. If you don’t personally know the management or the owner, good luck having a smooth night because the security will act up for no reason. It’s honestly sad to watch the reputation this place used to get dragged down by the unprofessional behaviour of a few power-tripping bouncers. Sort it out. This is not what people expect from your brand.
Michiele W — Google review
Vardas is the worst place in town and incredibly unsafe. First, they pressure you to buy a bottle, and then if you get drunk, the security guards come around asking for tips. If you refuse, they treat you poorly or even throw you out. One security guard asked me for money, and when I refused, he punched me in the neck, knowing I was intoxicated. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the first person to be treated this way. I attempted to speak with police officers about the situation, but they told me they couldn’t intervene inside, leaving me no choice but to leave. The security guards at Vardas are arrogant and unprofessional, and they pretty much force you to give them money. It's easy to feel ripped off there. Vardas is a dangerous spot in Addis Ababa Ethiopia and I will never return to this place.

The old one was closed for renovations so we visited this newer version. It's much more like a theater than a restaurant and the price reflects that too. The gored gored is still fantastic though and I'm sure tourists like the new style kitchen where you can watch people cook. It doesn't have the same fun atmosphere as the old one and the menu is a lot more limited.

I had a wonderful experience here, in a very little time you can know a lot about Ethiopian culture. The live music with their own unique and cultural instruments was so great. The dance, wow, amazing! And fact that they will involve the public made it even more amazing.

The shekla tibs is the worst I have had in Addis. The taste was just too plain and dry. As soon as we took our first bite, the waitress told us we need to finish up fast and leave since they were about to close. The music wasn't good and stopped right away. They literally forced us out before finishing our food and drinks saying the police is telling them to shut down the place for no reason.

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!

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

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.

Maitre d was so personal to me he put an apron on my white shirt. The burger was probably the best burger I think I've ever had in my entire life. Including the United States. If you don't come here you're missing out on the best burger ever. It's been a while month since this visit and I'm back again for another double! Our waiter remembered me! Well how can you forget ME lol. Still the best ever, come and have absolutely thebest burger in Addis Ababa!!

The food tasted nice but it was served cold/lukewarm. We had the yefisik mesob, everything on it was cold. We also ordered the yebeg key/alicha wot (lamb stew) you can see from the surface that it's been sitting around for a while before being served. Service could be better too.

Huge seating space next to Airport road, the restaurant was very busy given a Saturday night. It took some time to get the attention of anyone to serve us, the girls sitting on account/reception desk didn't listen to me at all but our waiter was very nice & quick. Good option to try some western food (for white tourists), but I had traditional Ethiopian food which was delicious, spicy and in a copious portion!

Ordered one beef burger. The beef patty is soft, fresh, and 100% pure meet. Cheese 🧀 is a good quality cheddar 👌 The bun is soft and freshly made. Souces are tasty. Pickles is fresh and well made. Fries quality could be improved. Over all was a 10 out of 10 experience. Update: The meat quality has dropped so I am lowering my ratings from 5 to 3.

When you stay in Ramada hotel or around, this is definitely a place to go for draft beer and double cheeseburgers. I used to live in AA, and believe this burger is the best, even better than the popular place near the African Union HQ. The beer is great of course. The service quality was quick and good, and I liked the classic (and somewhat dim) architecture/atmosphere that no new fancy places cannot replicate. Definitely recommend.

5 Stars for their Juicy Double Cheeseburger 🍔 (Salivated just writing that). Dude, I had all but lost hope for excellent Cheeseburger in Ethiopia (Some come close) and so was pleasantly surprised with how good it was here. Thick juicy burger patty, properly slightly pink on the inside, great buns fresh lettuce and tomatoes AND PICKLES! What? Fresh bottle of Heinz ketchup with every order. Also, this place is big, has some four sections with different setups, all generally dimly lit. Seemed like a spot for singles and young professionals mostly. Draws a good crowd. Not many places like this in Addis.

Parking is available nearby or on the street, and the restaurant accepts cash only.
Fusion... meant mostly with Yemeni and Ethiopian food in # Addis Ababa The meals were served by a kind and sympathetic muslim lady. The Chicken Wrap was not a # shawarma, but a sort of like a pizza wrapped with grilled vegetables and chicken and cheese. The Arabic salad was nice, they have served several types of salad. I hope they will concentrate on what they should go on in light of this, including a dessert like kunafa.

Big healthy breakfast, however you like it. I am usually there for the breakfast menu but the wings and wedges are delicious. A good reputation of healthy food means it gets a little crowded at lunch. (That's a good thing) People say their Nile Perch is perfect, never tried it. The interior design and their music selection: that relaxed modern urban Arab contemporary downtempo thingy they got going is impressive, suits the place perfectly. Even the handcrafted boxes they bring the receipts in are kinda classy. Moderate pricing, despite the location and standards...

They have amazing stuffed chicken. It was so good i forgot to take a picture 🤦. There salads is also great. There breakfast menu is great and worth a try. Definitely a place worth a recommendation. But one con is it can get a bit croweded specially around lunch time and service can get a little slow and there menu might become select ( my experience) but you can munch on the apitizer and hang on for a few minutes as the food is worth it.

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?

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.

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 ambiance is alright and the atmosphere can be better if you have company. The food is alright and the staff is friendly, but the language barrier creates that invisible distance. They could stock a wider range of beer. Their Heineken was great and ice cold. However, it is a general expectation that draught beer/beer-on-tap is served in 500ml beer glasses or mugs. Here it is served in a 300ml glass/tumbler. Reasonably priced though. They could add another two or three, bigger TV screens for sports enthusiasts.

(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.❤️❤️❤️

The decor and setting in a garden full of plants and wooden decoration is nice but the food is of average quality and very expensive for what it is. Full of tourists groups and some locals. They are a bit disorganised and can’t cope with everything when they have a lot of people. If it’s packed you’ll be waiting ages to be served, you’ve been warned!

Cravings Restaurant & Bar at the airport exceeded expectations with its amazing service and fresh, delicious food. The nacho salad was a standout after a day of airplane food. With a 5-hour layover, it was the perfect pit-stop for a freshly cooked meal served by friendly staff. The cocktails were also worth trying. Guests praised the chicken wings and highlighted the attentive service from the staff, making it a highly recommended dining option before catching your next flight.

I had a generally good experience at Cravings, especially if you're looking for a comfortable spot to relax during a flight transfer. The seating area is spacious with plenty of comfy chairs and useful plugs, which made it a great place to settle in and get some work done instead of the lounge. However, I did encounter an unpleasant situation with one of the staff members. The restaurant was mostly empty at 8 PM, yet I was asked to move from a four-seater sofa to a two-seater to make room for other passengers. This seemed unnecessary, especially when there were barely any other guests around, as shown in the photos. By 8:55 PM, there were only 7 occupied tables, and they even moved another person from a two-seater to the bar, which felt a bit odd. As for the food, the Ethiopian dishes were delicious, and I recommend them if you're in the mood to try local flavors. However, the pasta portion was quite small for the price. Overall, Cravings has a great atmosphere for travelers, but I hope the staff can consider a more flexible approach to seating when the restaurant isn't crowded. $28US for a pasta

Too oily food. Soaked in oil. Takes a lot of time for the food to get prepared. Drinks are the saving grace. Just look at the vegetable sandwich. So much oil in the patty. That's not healthy for you. Prices are too damn high for the food. $22 for an oily sandwich. Avoid and get something else.

UPDATE New review 3 years later: US$44 for a simple burger with oily fries and the worst ice cream and bread pudding I’ve ever had. Why? They seam to have it all to make this a great place. The presentation was actually good. The burger wasn’t bad, but the fries were so greasy and hard. And then the ice cream was old… the cream was passed it’s life time, the brownie were not fresh and it’s all so expensive!

Aladdin Restaurant is a delightful culinary destination located on the main road leading to Ethiopia's international airport, making it a perfect stop for both locals and travelers.

Known for its Armenian cuisine alongside a variety of Middle Eastern dishes, Aladdin Restaurant presents an extensive menu featuring everything from freshly fried falafels to juicy baklava.
Kind of hard to find as it is at the basement level of the mall. The space is very peaceful, good dining environment, and the food was delicious. We ordered the falafel and the Tabouleh. Draft beer was fresh and the pita bread was excellent.
Emnet S — Google review
My family and I visited the old location 2 or 3 times over the past few years and made some good memories. The waitstaff was always engaging, and the food was good. Yesterday I learned from another business owner that Aladdin moved closer to my home, so I figured I’d take my wife there for our date night. We passed the restaurant twice expecting a stand-alone location, so we asked some guards where to find it. FYI, the restaurant is at the lower level of the building that has Daily Mini Market and Arosci Spa. The entry makes it feel like you’re entered whole new world. The ambience was nice. We chose to sit outside. I recognized one of the servers. She and the other guys have been with Aladdin for nearly a decade. It was clear throughout the night that they were seasoned staff and knew how to interact with both local and ferenji clientele. My wife and I ordered a number of things, and all of them were perfect. I can’t think of a negative thing about our evening. Once the word gets out that the Bisrate Gebriel area has another quality dining experience, I expect this place to be packed.

Restaurant has now moved to a new location, in the basement of a building located near Lafto Mall. I must say that the new place has a warm and cosy feel, even if part of it is outside the building. There are two other parts: a bar and restaurant, which are designed very well. The food is as good as usual, and the service is excellent.

No wonder I was surprised to find how this restaurant tucked away on the main road to the international airport. The genre name of the restaurant reminded me of one of my favourite teachers. I had little idea what 'Armenian cuisine' was, but it seemed to be somehow Lebanese. More than 95% of the customers are European and most of them are travellers. The food was quite good but the service was a bit poor, unfortunately, due to the crowds.

Their prices are reasonable, and they offer healthy juices in addition to other food options. Service here is quite fast.
You have to check out Lime Tree, the new restaurant right next to Gusto by Elilly! I was so impressed , the food is delicious and the vibe is incredible. I had their chicken curry, and it was truly outstanding: the taste was mouth-watering, the portion was generous, and the price was very reasonable.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this interesting cafe that promises a great experience that was somewhat enjoyable. I wasn't expecting much from this place but it shows potential for being a great cafe. The atmosphere of this place tends to give off a cozy vibe. While the interior design of the cafe seems basic, the outside sitting area tends to be a more comfortable and nicer atmosphere if there is good weather to go with. I wouldn't say the food here extraordinary but it is a wonderful food and comforting dish. The service here was nice. I had a great time.

I had the lasagna, it tasted okay, and had plenty of cheese, but the sauce was very chunky. Plus, the lasagna sheets were pinkish, which was odd, and I suppose that's what caused me to be sick afterwards. It must have taken on the colour of the sauce from being in the freezer for too long. Also, the waiter said they had mashed potatoes as a side dish, but as you can see from the picture, those potatoes were smashed, not mashed. The 'icing on the cake' was the cashier (who has worked there for years, btw) who was really rude and disrespectful... she was rushing me to pay while I was only just halfway through my meal cause she had to leave.

I recently visited this place and it left me utterly disappointed and disgusted. From the moment I walked in, the place had a musty smell that made me question their cleanliness standards. The tables were sticky and covered in crumbs, clearly not having been properly wiped down . We decided to order a rice with chicken,salad and a chicken wrap , hoping it would redeem the cafe's reputation, but boy was I wrong. The chicken was dry and tasteless, and they add oyster oil and barbecue Sause even though I told them NOT to. It felt like they just threw random burnt vegies together without any thought or care. Overall, this cafe was a complete disaster. The lack of cleanliness, unappetizing food, terrible service, made it an incredibly unpleasant experience. I would strongly advise anyone to steer clear of this place unless they enjoy disappointment and regret.

I enjoyed my meal here, and the service was good. I had a macchiato and French toast. The French toast was well done and I did not even need to put syrup on it and had a perfect level of sweetness. My daughter had the steak Panini, which she really loved, and my partner had an egg omelette with bread. The special tea here is particularly delightful. However, the bathroom facilities, leave something to be desired.

Lime tree restaurant may be good for a specific target audience, but as a south Asian, the food more or less failed to please me. One good thing was that the proportions were really big. We ordered a full roasted chicken, and you can see in the image how much there was. Aside from the fact that it was oily, cold, and (at least for me) the food wasn't good, the service was good. They offered to reheat the food, and did a quick delivery. We could finish all of it, so we asked to pack it for take away (100 birr for take away). But, as soon as we got out in the street, the bottom of the plastic gave away and all of it dropped :( Luckily, there were some hungry looking dogs who swooped right in and cleaned the chicken faster than a vacuum cleaner.

Good food at a reasonable price. Wide selection from pasta, sandwiches, main courses, and beverages. I believe their healthy juices differentiate them from other nearby restaurants. Also proximate to several hotels and fromcity centre. Ambience is refreshing, with both indoor and outdoor seating surrounded by greenery. Service is quite fast.
