Allebnany Restaurant — Restaurant in Addis Ababa

By far the worst restaurant in Addis Ababa. If you want to get sick and pay [a ridiculous amount of money] at the same time this is the place to go. They had the worst buffet that was ice cold and the main dish was a joke -basically just cold rice and a bit of meat on top. They have awful customer service and are the greediest restaurant I have ever seen so desperate to basically steal your money (prepaid) and not to be found after that. The worst food in Addis and most ridiculously high priced at that - 2200 birr per person for the joke they called Ramadan buffet. A completely unprofessional service led by a gang of con artists.

I should have seen the other reviews on this site before going there! If you plan on wasting your money (many folds) and in return get food poisoning and what not, as a oppose to getting a decent hot meal with good service and reasonable pay, by all means this is that place.

In conclusion, this is the most disgusting, most ridiculously high priced, deceptive restaurant that does not even mildly care about its customers and what they serve, but only bothers to charge customers amounts that clearly indicate that this is more of a conning business. Food was so cold and terrible, and it was obvious that they do not care what they feed you. Whatever they can make at the cheapest cost and serve again and again, the food was obviously stale and far from coming close to being fresh!

For my first visit to Alebnany, I ordered the chicken shawarma. Most of the menu items have been redacted with white masking tape. The items that were left had their prices revised... heavily! The chicken shawarma was as close to perfect as can be found. The wrap was thin and flakey with that satisfying crunch. The inside was warm, and the chicken cuts were tender, flavored to spicy perfection. The house sauce was a garlicky white concoction that paired very well with the green chili paste. The fries were surprisingly good (it's difficult to find well-done fries). This restaurant is nestled in the corner of a cul-de-sac and not easy to find. Though decorated well, the inside is mostly dark wood and dingy ... better suited to night time dining than daytime. The balcony is refreshing with potted plants and trees for shade. The place made getting internet connection very difficult.

Alebnany Cafe is located on the main road around the corner from the restaurant itself. They boast baklavas, which are better than most in town. While most servers are attentive and humble, I was stuck with one waitress who was impatient, curt, and impolite. She ruined my experience even as the owner and manager stood 2 meters away. Sometimes, there is no one to rescue customers from bad service! However, the place was busy, so maybe I was...

Lebanese cuisine is the culinary traditions and practices originating from Lebanon. It includes an abundance of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fresh fish and seafood. Poultry is eaten more often than red meat, and when red meat is eaten, it is usually lamb and goat meat. Dishes include copious amounts of garlic and olive oil, and dishes are often seasoned with salt and lemon juice. Chickpeas and parsley are also staples of the Lebanese diet.13

Well-known dishes include baba ghanouj, tabbouleh, sfeeha, falafel and shawarma.5 An important component of many Lebanese meals is hummus, a chickpea puree dish, and many dishes are eaten with flatbread.79] A plate of veggies with tomatoes, cucumber, mint, olives and pickles is always served on table, and a plate of fruits at the end of the meal with a Lebanese coffee. Well-known desserts include baklawa, sfouf and ka'ak.[10] Some desserts are specifically prepared on special occasions; for example, meghli (rice pudding dessert, spiced with anise, caraway, and cinnamon) is served to celebrate a newborn baby in the family.[11

Arak is an anise-flavoured liquor, and is the Lebanese national drink, usually served with a traditional convivial Lebanese meal. Another historic and traditional drink is...
