What People Are Saying About Addis Red Sea

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – The city's most popular Ethiopian restaurant, Addis offers a menu of highly seasoned stews and fried meats, served atop an edible platter of injera (a spongy, pancake-like flatbread). Diners sit on tiny stools around intricately woven basket tables and enjoy a large selection of vegetarian dishes, including butecha (a mash of chickpeas, lemon juice and green pepper). Honey wine and cardamom-flavored coffee are among the drink options.

I really enjoyed my first experience with Ethiopian food in Addis Red Sea and i was not disappointed! The food is fantastic and price is reasonable. Their bread was just awesome and I also recommend the combo plate for 2, get variety and enough food to probably feed another person. I definitely will go back because this restaurant is already become one of my favorite spot in City.

Great Experience

by jordanbryan28

This is a fun place to go. You sit on tiny stools with a small, low lying table (made like a woven basket) to share for eating. You eat with your hands, as is Ethiopian custom, using a a spongy, pancake-like flatbread. You take a small piece of the bread and scoop up one of the many stews or fried meat for eating. They serve various varieties of delicious and tender stews as well as meat based servings. Im not always sure what type of meat, whether it be lamb or beef, but it is always amazing. Ethiopian food is seasoned generously but not too spicy, just full of flavor. The environment is casual and fun and the wait staff are genuinely Ethiopian and very polite, helpful with suggestions and attentive. I always feel as though I am a special guest in their home; very welcomed. The Addis Red Sea is located in a very cool area of the South End. They have a honey wine which is authentic and delicious, which I love. The prices are very cheap especially considering the location. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
