I came to Addis Ethiopian Restaurant recently and had a pretty good experience overall, though it wasn’t the greatest Ethiopian food I’ve ever had. The seating is mostly normal tables and chairs, though there is a couch and some traditional seating areas against one wall. The service is good, and they try to take care of you and ensure you’re enjoying your experience.
I ordered Doro Wot (stewed chicken), Yebeg Wat (stewed lamb), Gomen (collard greens), and Fosolla with carrot (carrot and string beans).

However, the injera has a sour taste overall, and neither my friend nor I were quite accustomed to it—but it was all part of...
Read moreIf your wanting the cleanest tasting injera in San Diego that isnt loaded in canola oil then keep reading… this place is clean. Ample seating. Staff is attentive yet they let you eat in peace. Food is soooo tasty. 4th time here. The portion size is great. Roughly $17 for the veggie platter. Flavors are sooo rich. Bathroom is clean and parking is out back or on the street. Did I mention, the feeling of eating with your hands and licking the seasoning off your fingers taste sooo good (given that you have washed your hands👀). Overall, love this place hence why I keep finding my car in the...
