Grand Kubi Turkish Restaurant — Restaurant in Addis Ababa

Visited in August 2025

Food: Ordered for 1400 birr a special adana mixed combination platter (not sure of the name but sure of the price) as well as lentil soup for 250 birr though it said 350 on my menu

Lentil soup was watery and tasted like leftovers

Special adana was not so special, portions were ration-sized, food was bland, and overpriced considering the carb to meat ratio

Name needs to be "Mini Kubi" not Grand.

Service: Sucked Server pushed for appetizers when i was not interested and either lied about/misrepresented dishes and portions. After serving food, server disappeared. We waited 20 minutes for them to create a new receipt.

Atmosphere: No Music Flickering lights Run-down Glass windows missing Ceiling has holes and water damage, looks like it's about to fall down on you in some places Menu is unusable and you cannot distinguish between items off name

I ordered the kebab, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The meat was perfectly grilled, tender, and bursting with flavor. Each bite was infused with aromatic spices that danced on my palate. The accompanying sides, including fluffy rice and fresh salad, complemented the kebab beautifully.

The service was attentive and friendly, enhancing the...

You come here for the food not necessarily the atmosphere! A consistent place that does lovely Turkish food. Decent value for money in terms of what you get. They always have a good selection of kebabs and meats. The dips/sauces are also tasty and helpings are generous. There a a number of seating spaces each with different feel cafeteria feeling as you come in, typical restaurant feel near the open kitchen and a more intimate seating arrangement inside. Most importantly they have remained consistent over the many years. Turkish breads are also very tasty but getting smaller in size with each...
