Adabina Kitfo Ethiopian Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

Very good. I recommend it to anyone who wants to try Ethiopian food

The restaurant is a bit hidden, so I'll leave a review. Great service and atmosphere!

Super delicious Ethiopian cuisine! Ambiance takes some getting used to. But as is often the case, the ease and friendly service can easily make up for it!

Great ambience, very friendly service. The preparation was very quick and it tasted great. An authentic experience. Highly recommended for vegetarians.

Ambiance was good, service was nice but not really attentive (even though there were only 4 guests including us). If you've been to other restaurants (with food from Ethiopia or Eritrea), unfortunately the food is just ok. I always eat the same thing (see picture) and unfortunately that “just” made me full. Prices are a bit high for the quality that is delivered (you had to order bread, which in my opinion is a MUST included with the dish...how else are you supposed to eat it without cutlery?) Therefore only 3 stars.

The portions were larger than the previous reviews show, so they made a lot of improvements. We had a mixed platter for two and had the rest packed up because there was so much. We were at €55.90 for the meat platter. The different lentils, chickpeas and other dishes were a culinary delight. It was served hot, The chicken dish in the middle was a chicken wing in a delicious (I think honey) sauce. The atmosphere was cool, the tables were clean, and there was little going on due to the construction site across the street. You can only pay in cash, which is important to know in advance.

Honestly amazing food, so tasty and well prepared. I felt like I could eat for hours without feeling full! There was also a good variety of meat and vegetarian dishes, so it’s a good place to go with a group. The staff is super sweet, and the place has a really good vibe. I definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Frankfurt (or living here) :)

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with decor that beautifully reflects Ethiopian culture. The service is attentive, and the staff is more than happy to guide newcomers through the menu, making the experience approachable and enjoyable.

As an Ethiopian, I can confidently attest to the authenticity of the dishes served at this restaurant. The flavors are rich, perfectly seasoned, and true to the essence of traditional Ethiopian cuisine. The ingredients are fresh, and the presentation feels warm and homely, adding to the overall dining experience. The menu offers a wide range of options, catering to vegan, vegetarian, and meat preferences alike. on top of that If you’re looking for a truly unique and authentic experience, I highly recommend trying the Ethiopian coffee ceremony at Adabina. This restaurant offers more than just a meal—it provides a window into Ethiopia’s rich cultural heritage, and the coffee ceremony is a perfect example of that. The staff are consistently friendly and attentive, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere every time. The restaurant itself is cozy, always clean, and evokes a sense of home. Its location is convenient, with easy access and nearby parking, making every visit seamless. Having dined here on multiple occasions, I’ve found the quality of both the food and service to be consistently excellent. Each experience has been memorable, and this has become my favorite spot whenever I visit Frankfurt.

Viele uns unbekannte Gerichte aus der vielfältigen Küche Äthiopiens. Das äthiopische Bier wird in einer Nussschale serviert und schmeckt sehr fruchtig. Die Linsensuppe war ziemlich scharf, die frittierte Teigtaschen etwas zu scharf frittiert. . Der gemischte vegetarische Teller war wirklich lecker - er ist sogar vegan. Achtung - man isst es ohne Besteck! Das dazu gereichte äthiopische Brot ist total lecker: säuerlich und würzig, saugt ideal alle Soßen auf. Zum Schluss hatten wir noch einen äthiopischen Kaffee - für uns etwas ungewohnt. Vielen Dank an die Bedienung, die uns gut beraten hat.

Very nice service and delicious food, also ideal for vegetarians. The food is traditionally prepared and served and eaten without cutlery... with Ethiopian beer! Just try it...

Not sure what happy, the most expensive restaurant, it was Friday and we where look Ethiopian restaurant since we can’t eat anything but vegetables, some stop by this restaurant, trouble service, and food was not anything especial, but a lot expensive compared with other Ethiopian restaurants, I will never go back

Super tasty, spicy food, a pleasure! The service wasn't always available as she probably helps in the kitchen. Bread had to be ordered with the plate, which was quite expensive for 2 people. Rs would have been nice if cutlery had still been available If you want to have authentic African food, this is the right place for you.

Super delicious food! Friendly service and ambience is great too!

Freundliche Bedienung, aber hier wird nicht frisch gekocht. Völlig überteuert und alles in der Mikrowelle aufgewärmt, Brot eiskalt. Wir hatten eine große Platte für 2 Personen und hörten aus der Küche nur das Geräusch der Mikrowelle. Vorspeise Totalausfall für 8 €, 2 traurige Teigtaschen serviert auf einem Teller, Inhalt verbrannt. Mit je 1 Bier und 1 Wasser 90€ gezahlt. Keine Empfehlung.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Habesha restaurant in Adabina resturant which is located in germany and I must say, it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The menu offered a variety of traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes, all of which were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the injera, a spongy sourdough flatbread that is used to scoop up the various stews and sauces. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. The restaurant also had a great selection of drinks, including traditional Ethiopian coffee that was brewed right at the table The kitfo,Doro wot(chicken) well made. lentils wot is amazing its so fresh to eat the tejjj that they provided amazing. Overall, I highly recommend this Habesha restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch and I can't wait to go back!

The price is very expensive at 20€ for a beat of fasting Dough of Badela one 4.50€ on top 3 Denor is better with Poms 100% 3 satisfies people I'm not going to live in peace Zu wenig

Very good food with good explanation as it was our first time eating Ethiopian food. Matching ambience, everything very lovingly furnished. Price-performance ratio okay.

I have to say it's completely rubbish 1.she made chicken without seasoning 2.we said to her please put a little more meat in it 3. Employees, I'm sorry, can't cook African food, they're too unmotivated 4. 107 euros for spending is completely a joke

I had the meat combo which came with 2 meat dishes and 4 veg dishes. One of the Vegetarian dishes was not fresh, it was on the verge of turning. The portions were small for the price and I was told they only accept cash unless I spent more than $100 euros. Had to walk a few blocks to an ATM. The food is far from being authentic.

overpriced. food not tasty. 2 sitting options: for foreigners and for ethiopians. i was told to sit in the foreigners section. integration? not really. segregation. racism. they are immigrants, i am an immigrant. frankfurt is in Germany. should a German sit in the foreigners section?

Food was very good, but the price was way too exorbitant. A main course with meat for 25 to 30€. The restaurant is too weak for that. The ambience and cleanliness as well as the food quality are nowhere near this price. Comparable Ethiopian restaurants have prices of €15-20 per main course. The restaurant is always very empty. I have a guess as to why that is.

They don't bring enough food and it's very expensive. There are much better places in Frankfurt. I generally enjoyed the shallow atmosphere

Hoher Preis für überschaubares Essen. Geschmacklich ok. Bedienung bemüht. Restaurant war leer obwohl Wochenende. Die gute Bewertung bei tropadvidor ist mir schleierhaft.

Very tasty food, nice family environment and service. You get a little closer to the culture :)

Very nice service! 👍 You should try Ethiopian cuisine.

We waited for more than 25 minutes and the end the chicken was cold and the food is not fresh. The waitress told us she well add more chicken since we ordered a dish for two and she said will replace the beef with the chicken but at the end the plate came cold and literally empty she didnt replace the beer, it ended up being for one person and we had a dish full of empty spaces. We paid 71 euros for unfresh food and a bad service.

A beautiful, small and very authentic restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and we all felt very comfortable. The food was really delicious! Definitely worth a visit if you visit Frankfurt. We'll definitely be back :)

The best restaurant to eat Kitfo in Frankfurt. All other dishes taste exactly as they should. Great atmosphere...great people...very, very good food. Betam Yedafidal!!!

The traditional coffee ceremony was excellent. Super Service!

We stopped by spontaneously and were warmly welcomed. The premises and the atmosphere are very cozy and the menu has a wonderful selection of different vegetarian and meat dishes. We shared a plate for two and were very full. The selection of “sauces” is large, some were spicy, some were neutral, so that the flavors balanced each other out well. The Ethiopian beer tastes wonderful and is served in an exciting way ;-) The price for us was around 30 euros per person including drinks.

The food was great and the staff was also perfect 👌🫶🏼

We will be back definitely! Great food, great service and cozy atmosphere. Don't be put off by the location and construction site in front of the door :)

Äußerst freundlich. Sehr leckeres, schmackhaftes und top gewürztes Essen.Bin mir sicher, dass ich wieder kommen werde.

I trust by their work ethics,work environment, best service delivery , my accomodation enroute journey to frankfurt,

Food very mediocre, several dishes were only lukewarm. Injera charged extra, 9 euro for two people which seemed strange because dishes were already about what would be expected (21 euro for doro wat, 19 for vegan platter). Note: cash only. Decent but there are much better options.

Very cute restaurant with delicious food and nice service. Definitely recommendable!

Nice place. The food is very tasty and the staff is really friendly! However, we were a bit overwhelmed by the bill.

Very tasty food in a cozy atmosphere. Very nice service

Very tasty authentic Ethiopian food, nice atmosphere

Very great and warm welcome. Numerous selection of delicious Ethiopian specialties. Thank you.

Sehr gute und freundliche Bedienung. Sehr empfehlenswert für ein gemeinsames Essen mit der Familie. Vielen Dank für den tollen Service.

Hat sehr geschmeckt und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett. Ich würde es wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Sieht sehr schön aus

Friendly staff It tasted very good

Wir haben kitfo yebege Tibes mit Äthiopischen Injera Das war schmeckt gut Service auch sehr gut ich empfehle Restaurant

Great restaurant, had a mixed platter for 2 people, where everything was delicious without exception, for a fair price, as the two of us could hardly manage to eat the whole thing. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxed. Next time Frankfurt, we will come back here 🙏

Adabina is really a very good restaurant. I traveled specifically from Karlsruhe, which meant a journey of around two hours. The staff were extremely nice and friendly and took good care of me. The traditional food was also very tasty and exceeded my expectations.

Very tasty food and very friendly and pleasant atmosphere. The vegetarian platter was slightly spicy and varied. We'll definitely come back :)

Sehr lecker und eine neue Erfahrung. Wir kennen indisches Essen und waren neugierig auf diese Küche. Das Brot ist sehr speziell. Es ist sehr weich, aber man kann es gut zum Essen mit den Fingern nutzen. Sehr gemütlich und aufmerksamer Service.

The food was amazing! If you would like to try something new go for it!

We went because of the great reviews and were not disappointed. Mega delicious mixed vegetarian platter for 2, super friendly service. It is worth it!

The place is so cosy, the interior is traditional Ethiopian. I big Thank you to the host who welcomed me so warm and explained to me about the food and how to eat it. It's always a pleasure to meet that kind of people! Not on the last place - the food is really delicious! I totally recommend visiting this restaurant!

Here we ate very tasty and authentic Ethiopian food. I can only recommend

Very authentic and super nice people. Everyone tried very hard and the food was very good ☺️

Not recommended at all. Reasons: Food was quite spicy and you could not taste any difference between the different elementa of the dish, everything was tasting the same. The only good thing? The donuts at the end. Portions super super small for the prices. 6 more slices of their bread costed us 18€ more. Honestly too much for that super sad bread. I have eaten much better Ethiopian in other places in Frankfurt and at a super cheap price Oh and they don't accept card even if you are spending 200€

Charming, very friendly service. Ambiance and prices vary a little. Eating is a positive adventure

A bit spicy for the German peasant tongue. But really delicious!!! Super nice and friendly service!

Delicious authentic food, unfortunately very expensive.

Adabina is a hidden gem that beautifully blends exceptional customer service with the richness of authentic Ethiopian culture in its food. The use of fresh raw materials in their cooking is evident in every delightful bite. What sets Adabina apart is not just the delectable cuisine but also the reasonable prices, making it a must-visit for those seeking a genuine Ethiopian dining experience.

Einfach nur toll. Freunde von uns haben das Lokal empfohlen und wir waren einfach nur begeistert. Das Essen war unglaublich lecker und authentisch. Alle Mitarbeiter waren hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Wir waren etwas unentschlossen, als es um die Hauptgerichte ging. Uns wurde weitergeholfen und wir wurden auch über die Besonderheiten dieser traditionellen Küche aufgeklärt. Auch das Ambiente war einladend. Wir hatten absolut nichts auszusetzen. Das beste afrikanische Restaurant in Frankfurt! Wir kommen wieder.

So gut. Wir hatten einen schönen Abend. Vielen Dank für das super Essen und die herzliche Atmosphäre. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder.

Sehr leckeres Essen mit der genau richtigen Schärfe. Sehr Nette Bedienung mit guter Beratung, wir kommen bestimmt wieder

Delicious. One point deducted for service because there was probably a lot going on.

Let me start with the atmosphere and the interior design, it is amazing 👏 well represent Ethiopia and I love their little bar look. I would give the food 10/10 😋 we had sambosa, kitfo and kikel and we love all. I recommend to have the authentic Ethiopian injera instead of the one baked with all purpose flour. I think the single authentic injera was 4.50 euro. There traditional Ethiopian Teji is so refreshing. Well there price is fair for the experience appart from the bottle of Teji, we took a bottle of teji for 26 euro which I found a bit more than I expected. They only accept cash. It would be nice if they accept card too. Generally, recommend the restaurant 🥰

Adabina offers authentic Ethiopian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere. The use of fresh ingredients and traditional spices makes every dish unforgettable. The service is first class and the ambience is cozy. Absolutely recommended for lovers of African cuisine. We'd love to come back.

Das Adabina bietet eine authentische äthiopische Küche in einer einladenden Atmosphäre. Die Verwendung von frischen Zutaten und traditionellen Gewürzen macht jedes Gericht unvergesslich. Der Service ist erstklassig und das Ambiente ist gemütlich. Absolut empfehlenswert für Liebhaber afrikanischer Küche. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wir haben zwei vegetarische Gerichte probiert und waren wirklich sehr enttäuscht. Schade, wir haben mehr wirklich mehr erwartet!

Very tasty food, everything was freshly prepared. And the service is very pleasant. We were there with our two children (9, 5) and were very satisfied.

The food is good. I was a bit disappointed with the atmosphere, it's not comfortable at all. And we waited quite a long time to order until the food came… and be careful: you can only pay in cash!

Their food is nice and service is wonderful

Very tasty, great food, great service. Unfortunately, the prices on the maps and on the Internet do not match and are still quite high.

Ich habe mich gefreut wieder mal äthiopisch essen zu gehen. Mir gefällt es, wenn Auswahl nicht groß ist, genau wie in dem Laden. Aber leider waren fast alle Speisen sehr ähnlich. Es gab keine Möglichkeit eine Platte selbst zusammenzustellen. Jedoch haben wir was passendes gefunden. Das war lecker. Gleichzeitig sehr durchschnittlich und quasi normal, obwohl die Preise ziemlich hoch sind. Bedienung ist super! Afrikanische Einrichtung :)

War dort am Abend mit meiner Freundin und war wirklich top Abend. Essen war lecker und gute Portionen, Service war zuverlässig und authentisch. Kommen gerne wieder. Injera ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen :)

Went with a bunch of friends very late at night and had a very lovely meal, everything very tasty and had a great evening. Owners were kind and gave us advice on what to order. A nice place to try something different and explore new cuisines!

Ich möchte mich bedanken, beim Adabina Team für sehr lecker essen ,sehr vollkommen und hilfreich war. Es gab keinerlei Problem. Es war alles perfekt, jederzeit gerne wieder

Restaurante agradable, la comida estaba muy buena y los camareros muy atentos. De los mejores restaurantes Etiopes que he probado.

The best delicious ethiopian food ever served. We had a great time for real . Perfect timing and good serving.

Great time with my friend,here in this restaurant you will get best Ethiopian food ever. Here you get all Ethiopian food products.

The best food ever served. You will be satisfied if you wanna miss and test ethiopian food.

War gestern dort zum Essen und habe Kitfo bestellt. Das Essen war sehr frisch und lecker und der Service auch super. Auch der Innenraum war sehr ansprechend gestaltet. Kann es jedem nur weiterempfehlen

amazing test natural Ethiopia habesha food(Müthiş lezzet, muhteşem konukseverlik ve alçakgönüllülük)

Es war sehr sehr lecker , der chafe ware sehr Hilfe bereit. Ich komme auf wjeden Fall wieder wir haben Beyaynet und Fere gegessen

Sehr schöner Abend! Mit der Familie ein famoser Ausflug nach Ethiopien mit cooler Athmosphäre, sehr freundliche und sympatische Leuten. Und mit Traditioneller Küche sehr überzeugend! Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!

Seht net Personal lecker essen ich werde wieder kommen.danke für gute Essen

Sehr nate Personal,gute Essen das ist wirklich genau wie Zuhause ich komme wieder.nur empfehlen Stadt Mitte bei Konstablawache

Wir haben die vegetarische Platte für zwei Personen bestellt (die Platte ist auch für Veganer geeignet). Das Essen war super lecker und die Mitarbeitenden auch sehr freundlich. Nur zu empfehlen!

Das Essen war sehr schmackhaft gewürzt und liebevoll präsentiert. Sehr netter und zuvorkommender Service. Wir haben sogar noch ein kostenloses Dessert bekommen.

Authentic menu, finger licking delicious food, super nice staff, and plenty of bread. We had the National dish. Try the Ethiopian beer.

Ich bin diesem Restaurant langer Zeiten Stamme Kunde.....die Essen ist ausgezeichnete ......!!@!

Es war sehr lecker, wir wurden gut beraten und ebensogut umsorgt.

I absolutely adore Adabina Kitfo in Frankfurt! The restaurant boasts a stunning view that adds to the overall dining experience. The food is a delightful fusion of Ethiopian flavors, leaving your taste buds thoroughly satisfied. Impeccable cleanliness adds to the charm, ensuring a pleasant dining atmosphere. The only challenge is finding parking, but it's a minor inconvenience compared to the overall fantastic experience. Highly recommend Adabina Kitfo for an unforgettable Ethiopian culinary journey in Frankfurt!

ein sehr gutes Restaurant mit äthiopischer Übersetzung 🇪🇹

Delicious ethiopian restaurant what a nice food and good services with excellent beverages😍

Wir waren auf der Durchreise und sind auf der Suche nach einem authentischen äthiopischen Restaurant auf dieses Lokal gestoßen. Wir waren schon mehrmals äthiopisch essen u.a. auch in Afrika selber. Wir haben uns für eine gemischte Platte für 2 Personen entschieden und waren sehr begeistert. Der Inhaber war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die wenigen negativen Bewertungen können wir leider nicht nachvollziehen weil unsere Eindrücke das komplette Gegenteil waren. Wir wünschen dem Team von Adabina viel Erfolg. Macht weiter so.

Tasty food and amazing place, really friendly people.

We had a good experience at Adabina restaurant Frankfurt, the food ,hospitality and the way they treated us was amazing. Thank you

Great spot, amazing food and incredible service. We went as a group and they were kind enough overall we had amazing experience

The menu offered a variety of traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes, all of which were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the injera which is mainly gluten free, a vegan foods, spongy sourdough flatbread that is used to scoop up the various stews and sauces and the tej is so juicy and so sweet I loved it so much
