2000 Habesha cultural restaurant | Bole Atlas | 2000 ሀበሻ የባህል ሬስቶራንት | ቦሌ አትላስ — Restaurant in Addis Ababa

Habesha 2000 is just the spot to be if your want to have a taste of Ethiopian culture, music, people and everything wonderful!

I was entertained by the dancers, particularly a lady who kept turning and spinning her head while dancing, for many many minutes and she didn't get dizzy!

There was a buffet so I made sure to fill my plate with everything that seemed familiar and unfamiliar. From cow towels (if that's what they're called) to the famous Ethiopian Ingera. I finally also tasted the honey wine. It looks non-suspicious but hey! Take it easy on that wine.

If you're lucky, you could get to dance with the dancers too. It was interesting to note that there was also some sort of marriage celebration going on at the same time while tourists watched on.
