Addis Abeba Ethiopian Restaurant

Food is okay. I’ve placed online delivery orders and it has never been right. They literally get the order wrong every time and one time they had to cancel my order because they gave it to the wrong person. They’re rude and crass you can sense that by how disrespectful they are when they reply to reviews.There are way better options for Ethiopian food if you don’t wanna put up with terrible attitudes

On December 4th I ordered lunch online through their Google maps Clover page because their page said they were open. Clover took my payment and I went to the restaurant but they were not open. I called multiple times and asked to have the order canceled and I emailed and was still charged for the food. Hope they fix their online system.

We went here for my mom’s birthday and it was a huge hit!

Delicious food

I went there with a friend around 6pm on a Saturday evening in the first week of September 2023. The first thing we noticed was that there was nobody else in the place. However, even though we were the only party in the place, the service was extremely slow. Soon it became evident that there were only 2 members of staff there, who doubled as both cooks and servers. We ordered our food, which though tasting decent, was soaked in a deep pool of red oil in my case, and yellow oil in hers. As she is a trained chef, she admonished me to pour out that unhealthy grease, which she identified as the butter described on the menu, believe it or not. We were each supplied a spoon but no knife and folk, which I prefer to use in the absence of the opportunity to wash my hands thoroughly before plunging them in the moist injera. The meat cut in small pieces, was adequately tender, and the salt barely perceptible, which is how I prefer it. There was a small side of collard greens on the injera as well, that was decently cooked. The drama started when the time to pay came. The menu, which is discovered by scanning the barcode on the table, stipulates that first time orders get a 15% discount. This claim is overlaid prominently above the pictures on the menu, and when I brought it up, both cook and server disavowed and refused to honour it. I pointed out that was this unethical and constituted a bait and switch. The two members of staff absolutely and adamantly refused to budge. We paid the enormous bill, and I even added a small tip suspecting that these two Ethiopian women were victims of the tactics of the owner of the establishment. When I demanded a copy of the actual receipt that I signed, they refused to give to me, giving the initial declarative receipt, which has no fields for adding the tips and tallying the total. As we were walking out, it became evident why the patronage was so low: not only do the business practises of this establishment leave much to be desired, but the food is grossly overpriced, probably to compensate for the lack of customers and supply the overheads. Either way, I do not recommend this place, and will never ever go back to it. I now understand why the Ethiopian restaurant, a few miles away on Greenville and Forest Lane is doing so much better than this one. I suspect that everyone is fed up with the shenanigans of Addis Abeba restaurant

My friend and I (vegan)came Saturday Dec 16,2023 to have dinner. We ordered veggie combo and samosas. The veggie combo was great that exceed my expectations. Everything on the veggie combo was tasty. I went back the following Tuesday to order the veggie combo but unfortunately, the restaurant was closed. I am going back the next business day for to go order.

In fairness, I hadn't had Ethiopian food before this visit so I can't compare to other Ethiopian places. However, the food was AMAZING! We got the veggie combo with lots of lentils, cabbage, etc and Addis Abeba tibs. The service was great too and the gal was very patient and helpful. Oh, and the iced tea was delish too!

Good service and absolutely delicious food! Will be a repeat customer.
