The place was clean, but small with about seven tables. I ordered at the counter and sat and waited for my jollof rice and red snapper. My mouth watered as I thought about the meal. Once i received my meal, I had no regrets on my choices. The rice was filled with veggies and chicken. The red snapper was fried to perfection. And the fried plantains melted in my mouth. The meal was very delicious, hearty, enough for two people. Some would not agree with the price to eat here. My lunch meal was $35. I noticed several people coming and going with pickup orders. This is a hidden gem. I'd definitely return to try other items. Accessible entrance.

I saw the pics of the food and the reviews and decided to see for myself. I am happy I did. I ordered the pepper soup (my all time favorite soup), jollof rice and fufu. Because let's face it no meal is complete without the fufu. The food came and I did my happy dance. The pepper soup was yummy, I immediately felt my sinuses clearing. This soup is a healing soup. The fufu was on point and the rice was tasty with a nice kick. They gave me plantains and puff puff with the rice. That was a nice surprise I haven't had puff, puff in years! They also had a spicy pepper sauce to go over the food. Amazing!!!I had the rice for lunch today, it is even better the day after when all of the flavors have settled in. Service was good, the food didn't take long, we enjoyed watching the African music videos as we waited. A very welcoming atmosphere.

The music was great, but be prepared to hear uncensored lyrics. Might not be appropriate for younger children. The waitress was very sweet and checked on us often, but didn't offer more water and failed to bring is water after we requested more. The food took a while to come to our table, but was worth the wait. Lucky for us, we weren't in a rush or under any time restraints. The food was good, but the jollof was very salty and lots of small laurel leaf pieces. I wish the pieces were big enough to just pick out. Other than that, it was very tasty.

Sure, maybe it's like the *first time* you go to someone's house, and they're trying to impress you. But Addis Ababa brings the sensation of trips to a best friend's house, where all pretense of a pristine and orderly family is dropped, and I am but one of many people, objects, and tasks that command attention. It is incredibly casual. A few minutes after you arrive, someone will ask how you are doing, and more importantly if you have any familiarity with this cuisine. You probably don't, but if you order what I ordered you'll be excited to try more. The Sambusas, or a stuffed and fried pastry served with a chutney of sorts, absolutely cannot be skipped. Crispy on the outside with soft layers on the inside, I can best describe their texture and flavor as a cross between India's samosa and Arizona's chimichunga. You like both of those things, right? The lentil variety are a solid starter that will tempt you to order a dozen as a full meal. And as amazing as those are, the beef filling is even better! I had the Shekla Tips for my entree. It was served in a hollowed out bowl (I do not know the formal name for this) with coals underneath the surface, keeping the beef simmering in onions, peppers, and fat from start to finish. On the side was a bowl of dry spices, and plentiful injera, a flat bread with the texture of sponge cake and the taste of a sharp sourdough that acts as a staple of this cuisine. You scoop up your food with this bread. You are not even given or offered utensils. You will enjoy every last bite. You will feel a bit messy, with the warmth of peppers radiating through your hands and face. I'd like to believe the sense of messiness only enhances one's immersion in a new dining experience, so there will be no complaints. Come hungry, curious, and patient. Addis Ababa will award you. PS--there's a hookah lounge as well!

The dish was excellent. Everything thing was seasoned to perfection, without being overly spicy! The rice and peas were very moist and flavorful.
