Food was full of flavor. I tried the meat combo which came with an assortment of very well seasoned meat dishes/stews and a side of injera. My only complaint is that the food was a little too salty, and I feel like I have a high tolerance for salt.

Best Ethiopian food and friendliest service in SD.

Meat and veggie combo both good. Alcohol not for me but strong and might be good for others. Good service

Yesterday I ordered food to feed 100 people. We ordered Lega Tibs, Dero Tibs, Misir, Tekil Gomen, Injera and salad.
Everything was excellent. I was really impressed by their responsiveness during the ordering process, the taste of the food and the service of all those who helped get it ready. This should be a spot that you check out.

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). While the spices and flavors were on point for everything, the chicken and lamb were a little overcooked, making the meat a bit tough. The Fosolla was really good, and the Gomen was cooked perfectly (even though it slightly lacked flavor).

For drinks we had green tea and herbal tea, both of which were Ethiopian brands. They also serve Ethiopian beer here, and have traditional coffee ceremonies you can RSVP for. Overall, it’s super authentic, I only wish the meat and collard greens were prepared a bit better.

I ordered Dorot Wat. No bueno! Dry chicken and the yoke of the egg was green. They offered beef to me and that was dry as well. That's what I get for ordering meet. I should have or vegetarian like I usually do.

This is the best food in San Diego! Hands down. Just ate here with my husband and we will be coming back for sure! For first time, please try both the veggie and meat combo! The owners are amazing. They answered my questions and had great sense of humor, and the place is really clean. The food made me incredibly happy, I will recommend this place to anyone who would listen!

This definitely feels family run, and has a homey vibe. I might not go if I were in a rush, but saying that the service was good and friendly. Everyone in my party really enjoyed the food, and we were pleased at the great selection of vegan options. We'll definitely be back.

Stopped by here for lunch and enjoyed every bite! This place will be my new go to ethiopian place in San Diego due to the freshness of the meat/veggies and wonderful service. Great atmosphere and kind owners.

Meat combo portion was perfect for one person. Would recommend getting both veggie and meat platter for a larger group of 2 or more.

I loved this place. This was my first time eating Ethiopian food and I loved it! The chef brought out the food to us and checked in with us which was so sweet. Everyone working was so friendly and warm. I got the Doro wat!! Definitely try it out. I will be coming again.
