Addis Nola is a unique and welcoming Ethiopian restaurant located in New Orleans. The interior decor is beautiful, featuring a dark, inviting dining room with straw-thatched booths that create a lovely ambiance for diners. The alemayehu "the world" family style dish was delicious and plentiful, perfect for sharing. Guests have noted the depth of flavor as better than any Ethiopian they’ve had in a while. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with Prince patiently explaining recipes and ingredients, enhancing the overall enjoyable dining experience. The decor was inviting and warm, with friendly and attentive wait staff providing great service. The playlist, filled with Afrobeats and Amapiano, adds to the excellent vibes from start to finish.
The restaurant offers a variety of tasty dishes, including the veggie sambusa with lentils, which was flakey and flavorful. The Addis special, made with beef and delicious spices, was a standout dish. The veggie combo with awaze tibs was a perfect combination of meat and veggies, complemented by the flavorful injera, which has been described as one of the most delicious tried. Additionally, 99.99% of the dishes are gluten-free, making it accessible to many diners. Guests have raved about the Awaze chicken wings, calling them "fire" and a must-order every time. The shared family style meal, “The World,” was very flavorful and filling, with a great mix of meat and veggies, served quickly by extremely friendly staff.
Overall, Addis Nola provides delicious Ethiopian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff that make diners feel like part of the family. The combination of flavorful dishes, pretty presentations, and attentive service makes it a must-visit restaurant in New Orleans.
