VERY FRIENDLY, KIND & HELPFUL owner = GREAT service & very SPACIOUS cafe! Also, their MOCHA & LATTE are each, respectively EXCELLENT!!!"
"Ethiopian Breakfast Combo was not worth the amount for a combo breakfast given the very little portion size. The tropical smoothie, avocado toast, and the Bagel with Green Onion Cream Cheese were great. The Ethiopian Breakfast Combo and Enkulal Firfir did not have any butter at all.

"The picanha plate was so delicious! the steak was tender and flavorful, the portions were solid. The sides for the steak were good as well- the shoestring fries, savory rice, salad, and the mild, stewy beans.
I'm only sad that I haven't tried this place until now."
"All of the items we ordered were not good or of quality with the exception of the potato salad. We were looking forward to making this a place we would frequent but that is now ruled out. The yucca was over fried and not deveined. The shrimp was salad shrimp size. The steak was rubbery, hard to cut, and eat. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. The coxinhas were doughy and cold on the inside, seemingly frozen, and not fully cooked."

"This was honestly the worst crepe I’ve ever had. The menu mentioned chocolate and maple, but there was no filling inside at all—just banana. The chocolate was only drizzled on top with a few walnut pieces.
It was way too sweet, more like cake than a crepe, and the portion was tiny. The only decent thing was the small scoop of ice cream, but that didn’t make up for how bad the rest was.
After delivery fees, I paid about $28 for something I had to throw out. I’m going to try to get my money back because this felt criminal."

"Veggie/Meat Combo was great"
"I'm surprised at the negative reviews the portions were appropriate for the price and the injera was really delicious and a good amount. I ordered two portions of injera and had leftovers for two days. The red lentils was really really good 10/10 perfect blend of spices. The yellow lentils, gomen and cabbage were regular but tasty although the yellow lentils were a little dry like they needed just a little more water but overall very delicious and has home cooked taste."

So smoothly ground and flavorful, the texture is amazing. Don't eat it cooked, you'll miss while this dish is so special. The owner is a great guy also!"
"I've had a lot of Ethiopian food in my life, and Addis has the best! You can't go wrong with their vegetarian combo. The yemeser wot is my favorite--so richly spiced. The injera is made with lighter teff flour, and it is perfectly spongy and sour. I've been coming here for nearly 15 years and it's always delicious! "

"They called me because they were out of one of the items, and were very nice about it. I was disappointed with the very, very small portions. I also ordered extra injera, which was stuffed into the container on top of my entree. This was my first time ordering from here, I will stick with Cafe Colucci which tastes so much better and has real portions.

"My family has been eating here for over 15 years. The best and fresh made Doro Tibsy and Kitfo with more than enough for seconds! Would highly recommend."
"I ordered the house 18. House Special Sampler and the peach Peach Cream as my beverage. It was interesting how they packaged the food, with several large pieces of injera on top, completely covering the food, instead of neatly rolled separately as pictured in some of their pictures. I did have to remove it and put it to the side in order to actually get to the main food. Otherwise, I would've had to eat most of the injera on its own, before being able to actually eat the food. The injera itself had an interesting taste to it, and not in a positive way. It was tasteless and yet also had that aforementioned taste. The 18. House Special Sampler I found to be rather bland, and the potatoes and cabbage were huge chunks. The potatoes didn't seem to be fully cooked as it had some hard parts to it. The only one that seemed to have some kind of flavor to it was the alicha. While it was my first time trying this, it just wasn't for me. Thus, I doubt that I'll order again."
