Addis-Abeba-Restaurant in Berlin

Very tasty food with great options for vegans. Plus nice service

The meat is very tender, you should try the gored gored I promise you it won't disappoint.

Very disappointing. Mini portion, left me half hungry. It was more like an appetizer, the price (≈15 EUR) was unreasonable, it was worth more than 5 EUR. It didn't really taste like anything (tasteless, barely seasoned). My companion was equally disappointed and cannot understand the good reviews.

Charged us 3.90€ each for two glasses of water after making it clear that we wanted tap water. Steer clear.

There is awesome vegan stuff here!

Excellent food, nice service and a good ambience. Unfortunately there was no dessert, but other than that I thought it was a nice experience.

The food is great. Also it's definitely an experience to eat at Addis. I would definitely recommend

Food was amazing, very tasty. Staff were nice, only the service was a bit slow.

Although the restaurant advertises being open until midnight, we were turned away at 9 PM on Sunday because it had already closed. I’ll update ratings based on food when I get a chance to dine here. I have updated the ratings after finally eating here. This is probably the best Ethiopian food in Berlin. Hands down!

I've been craving for some Ethiopian food and this truly met my expectations.

Simply delicious! After I had already been to Frankfurt in the heart of Africa several times, we went to Addis Ababa in Berlin. In terms of taste, the cuisine was definitely up to par; it was extremely tasty. We ordered a mixed platter for 2. 2 of the dishes were quite spicy, some were normally spicy and some were mild (especially vegetarian parts). We would recommend the restaurant without reservation, only the atmosphere could be a little more cozy (tablecloths, candles, decorations) You can see that it used to be an old corner bar and they lovingly tried to decorate it in an African way. The service was very nice and authentic as was the cuisine. No problem even with a stroller THANKS

Super delicious and authentic Ethiopian food!

Delicious food, nice ambience and friendly service. Totally recommend

Amazing food, super sweet service! Loved it 💕

Very nice food, nice environment. But a little bit small house. Will be nice if they can introduce traditional drink.

Some of the best Ethiopian food I've ever had. Loved the lentils and the ingera. The people running it are wonderful and kind as well. Thank you!

There is such a calm ambience at this place and the vegetarian combination feels very tasty and nutritious at the same time

Pleasant place and excellent quality food, I just recommend being careful and asking if the dishes are spicy, sometimes the "mild" for this type of cuisine is a little too "hot"

If you like authentic Ethiopian food, this is the place for you. High quality dishes at an absolutely reasonable price, good service, definitely have the Ethiopian coffee for dessert. Take part in the fork, therefore all the more recommended

incredibly friendly service! Fantastic food at a very good price!

Small portions, price not (combination)

100% AUTHENTIC Ethiopian food!! All dishes and their Ingredients are fully traditionally done and taste exactly how REAL Ethiopian food should!! It doesn’t come quick, as it’s done with patience to ensure the food’s authenticity! Going again for sure!! If you’re in Berlin and you like Horn of African food, visit this restaurant!!

Great house schnapps & honey wine. ;-)

The food was amazing and the service was very good

Food was ok but the service was awful. The waitress left us waiting for the drinks for more than 45 minutes, rolling her eyes for everything, like cleaning the table as we sat or if we dared say something about the delays. Unfortunately a sad experience.

I ate here with my girlfriend and we decided on the "platter" with various meat dishes. As stated, portion is enough for three+ people. It was incredibly tasty and the friendly manner of the waitress topped it off. She offered to show us how to eat the food at home, which we really liked. I can only recommend trying the coffee after your meal, it tasted full-bodied and mild. Very very tasty. Great value for money and you should definitely try it.

I was there recently with my mom. And we had the vegan traditional menu/platter for two. Super tasty, service was super friendly and accommodating, food arrived quickly. Only recommended. The only thing - I find the interior a bit cold, bare but still nice.

From first second we entered the restaurant we felt extreme welcomed🥰 dear lady recommended amazing dishes, we enjoyed every second of being there. Food was 100000/10. It was our first time trying Ethiopian cuisine and it is amazing! You definitely need to go here! We took sharing dish for two people and starters 😍

Very tasty food and nice waiters: I can only recommend that you can eat well and chat in peace here. A great restaurant - very satisfied!! ☺️

I really liked the restaurant. Judging by the clientele, it's an authentic Ethiopian restaurant, which is a good sign. The atmosphere was very pleasant, it wasn't too loud and not too quiet. The service was very friendly/polite, a bit reserved and calm, spoke half English and half German, which was fine for me. The food tasted very tasty. I tried the Ethiopian beer Habesha, light and fruity, very tasty! The meat is hidden under the pastes/sauces. I took number 10 (15.90 euros) with a beer (4.50 euros) for a total of 20.40 euros. My colleague took the 6 or 7. The sauce definitely tasted very cheesy. Not like in my dish, where the sauces were exclusively very savory and spicy. The spiciness was okay, not extremely strong, but not too mild either. The longer I ate, the more I felt the spiciness. I would definitely recommend the restaurant to anyone who wants to try Ethiopian cuisine. The prices are okay for today's times and the culinary offerings!

It was soooooooo delicious. The service was also very accommodating. ♥️

Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly people. My first dish wasn't quite to my taste but definitely worth a second try.

As a vegan I’m happy to have found a place that puts so much care into the dishes served. The spices are perfect, the amount served is more than expected and filling. I feel very welcomed there and the staff are attentive and pleasant. Thank you 😊

The place is really great! We took the big combination that had meat, chicken and vegetable variations. It says for 3 persons, but it wasn’t too much for two people. Of course, it depends on how much you can eat! The vibes and atmosphere of the place was an added value.. very cosy and nice! The staff were also very friendly! I definitely recommend it for a nice meal!

Wir waren zu viert dort und waren alle gleichermaßen begeistert. Wir wollten dort typisch äthiopisch essen und trinken. Das Essen von einer sehr übersichtlichen Speisekarte war von den Preisen her sehr moderat und wirklich mega lecker. Das Fladenbrot diente als Besteck was uns echt gut gefiel. Mit den Händen essen macht einfach Spaß und man kann alles besser genießen. Die Bedienung war außerordentlich freundlich und sie hatte durchweg ein ehrliches Lächeln im Gesicht. Man merkt von der Eingangstür bis zum Tisch die Liebe zum Detail. Eben typisch äthiopisch. Alles wird ganz in Ruhe angegangen, keine Hektik und auch als wir bei der Bestellung hin und her überlegt haben, war die Dame sehr geduldig, hat uns erklärt, was genau wir da bestellen und hat zur Entscheidungsfindung beigetragen. Es war rundum ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis und wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Klare Empfehlung mit noch 5 weiteren Sternen von uns.

The food was great, the Ethiopian beer and Tej (Ethiopian honey wine) were incredibly tasty and, above all, the friendly service impressed us and will bring us back again! Thanks to the great team! (Sometimes a lot of patience was shown with more demanding clients, chapeau!)

Very friendly service, delicious food. It's particularly nice that there are combination dishes where you can try different dishes together👍

Very nice food and friendly service..

Vielen Dank. Ihr habt uns einen schönen Abend bereitet. Sich auf eine andere Esskultur zu begeben, ist wirklich abenteuerlich, weil du nicht weißt, wie man es richtig geht und ob es schmeckt. Aber ihr habt es uns so schmackhaft erklärt und gezeigt, dass wir nur noch genießen durften. Und, es hat uns wirklich richtig gut geschmeckt und ihr habt es uns auch nicht übel genommen, dass wir einiges nicht richtig gemacht haben. So lieb und freundlich (ganz viele Daumen hoch). Die Einrichtung ist einfach, das macht aber nichts, der Rest hat einfach gestimmt. Vielen herzlichen Dank.

Super lecker! Haben zwar etwas warten müssen aufs Essen, aber ohne Zeitdruck wäre uns das gar nicht aufgefallen. Total freundliches Personal, sehr aufmerksam und nett! Bisher tatsächlich mein Favorit, war schon in 3 anderen äthiopischen Restaurants.

Delicious delicious vegan food 🧡❤️💙💜

Had the vegan combination for 3, and it was very tasty. 3 different types of lentils, a spicy one with soy strips, spinach, salad, potatoes, beans and carrots, and tons of injera. It’s was more than we could eat. The honey wine is nice too. The staff are very chill and nice. I’ve been to this place a few times in the last 4 years and it’s always really great.

Ich war zum 1. Mal äthiopischen Essen und es hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Service war sehr freundlich.

As an Ethiopian, the best Ethiopian restaurant in Berlin!

Fantastic food and very kind staff! Wonderfully satisfying comfort food especially for the colder days of the year.

I have been living in Berlin since September 2023. My husband and I visited six local Ethiopian restaurants before we found Addis-Abeba. It's the best restaurant we have been to, as of this review. The food is filling, flavorful, and well-priced. The staff are friendly (in multiple languages) and the establishment accepts card payment. Highly recommend.

Tolles Essen, angenehme Preise!

It was an excellent experience! It was authentic and the serving was really kind!

Ich habe vorher nie äthiopisches Essen gegessen und war wirklich begeistert Es war so extrem lecker und die Kombination für 3 Personen war auch mehr als ausreichend für 3 Leute Service war top und super freundlich Die Preise sind extrem gut und angemessen Das Addis-Abeba-Restaurant wird jetzt auf jeden Fall immer besucht wenn ich in Berlin bin!

really great a delicious food. Probably the best that I've had in Berlin. I'm from Washington DC, and this was the closest to DC Ethiopian food that I've had. Prices were fair. We were a group of 4 adults and one toodler---we got the meat combination and the veggi combination plates, and our stomaches were very happy. Will come back for sure!

War zum ersten Mal hier und es war mega lecker. Das Personal ist krass freundlich.

So per Essen, völlig ander, eine tolle Erfahrung

Restaurant magnifique avec une nourriture excellente et des quantités copieuses. La gérante est très sympathique et donne de bons conseils !

It‘s one of my favourite restaurants in Berlin! Such a comfortable atmosphere and the vegetarian/vegan plate for two is just incredibly delicous✨✨✨

Delicious food, friendly staff. The place is not fancy, but we left content. Would definitely come again.

Das Essen war lecker und preislich im Ordnung. Den Service fand ich ausbaufähig, das Ambiente hat mich nicht angesprochen.

Super leckeres Essen und sehr freundliches Personal! Es war richtig lecker und preiswert, für 15€ für Gericht und Getränk bin ich sehr satt geworden! Würde ich in Berlin wohnen, wäre ich jetzt Stammgast

Very good food for a very good price! Totally worth the visit if you are in the area and crave Ethiopian food. My only complaint is the food isn't spicy enough, but that's not a deal breaker.

Sehr leckeres Essen, superfreundlicher und entspannter Service

Wir waren seit längerer Zeit auf der Suche nach einem guten äthiopischen Restaurant in Berlin und sind zum Glück endlich fündig geworden. Tolle vegane Auswahl, großzügige Portionen (viel Injera) und vielleicht die besten Sambusa, die ich je gegessen habe. Der Wein wurde auch großzügig eingeschenkt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wir haben uns hier wohl gefühlt und das Essen war sehr lecker. Wir haben uns 3 verschiedene Mahlzeiten geteilt, die auf einem großen Teller und kleinen Schälchen serviert wurden. Es gibt einen kleinen Aussenbereich, direkt am breiten Fußweg - ideal für Hundebesitzer. Ob auch ein Hund mit ins Restaurant darf, dass weiß ich leider nicht. Bargeld nicht vergessen, da laut Google Informationen nur Barzahlung vor Ort möglich ist.

I came here with my parents, who are quite sceptical about trying cuisines they've never had, and all of us were blown away. The food was out of this world, everything we tried was just amazing, the service made us feel very welcome. Overall, an experience I will recommend to anyone, vegan or meat lover alike. Definitely coming back!

It's a small Ethiopian restaurant close to the immigration office in Berlin, placed in an old building that has been repurposed to be used as a restaurant, they have limited outside seating available and offer variety of Ethiopian food, cannot say whether they are completely authentic or not but they tasted good, their menu lacks starters and begins directly with main course, it has been written in both english and German and offers bunch of dishes using some type of protein and a gravy, with probably toned down spices to accommodate the German taste. We ordered a combination (it was number 10 in he menu) and a chicken gravy plate (number 6) and they arrived after a while, with a specific type of bread. They also offered forks for those who don't want to eat with their hands and each plate looked good and flavorful. They were also kind enough to serve some of the gravy themselves (which usually u don't see in restaurants at this price point). The chicken was the most delicious, with a distinct hint of cinnamon and other spices, not so hot but it tingled your mouth a bit. It tasted fresh and not heated up several times after a long day(since I arrived there kinda late and i was one of their last customers that they accepted) and the salad beside it was completely fresh, crisp and not soggy or soft due to the heat and the warm weather we have in Berlin right now. The combination had 2 meat dishes using small cubed lamb and beef pieces in it, and a vegetarian course using lentils, it kinda reminds you of Indian food because of he spices but it was a unique style and you wouldn't get a feeling of eating the same spices like masala or curry or .... Every gravy should've been eaten using a special type of thin bread, baked on a hot plate that has a very soft texture and not so much of a flavor, ready to soak everything from the gravy and be a good vessel to enjoy it. In the end we enjoyed an Ethiopian Coffee, which tared like regular coffee to me( I'm not a coffee drinker) and was ok, nothing special. They serve it in small cups and a traditional type of teapot. The restaurant was reasonably priced, their service was really good, they were attentive and caring and patient with their customers. You could also pay with either card or cash (which nice since you won't have this option in many restaurants like this in Berlin) In the end, it was a nice restaurant, I would recommend it for people who want to get a taste of Ethiopian food, had good services with reasonable pricing, offered multiple seating options (unfortunately no air conditioning inside) and had good vibes and tasty dishes.

Great experience with great food. Super friendly waiter, dishes that felt authentic. Certainly recommended

Die authentische äthiopische Küche war eine interessante Erfahrung, jedoch hat die Qualität der Gerichte meine Erwartungen leider nicht erfüllt. Die Portionen waren klein und die Preise etwas hoch für das, was geboten wurde. Die freundliche Bedienung konnte die enttäuschende kulinarische Erfahrung leider nicht ausgleichen.

Unbedingt ausprobieren, denn es zahlt sich aus!

Freundliche mit super essen! Fabulous! Nachdem ich einige Zeit in Äthiopien verbracht habe und ein Liebhaber der Küche bin, kann ich sagen, dass dieses Restaurant das Beste seiner Klasse ist. Vielleicht eines der besten, die ich je hatte. Und unser kleiner Hund machte ihnen nichts aus!

Speziell gefällt mir das Äthiopisches Bier angeboten wird. Das Sahnehäubchen wäre es gewesen wenn es entsprechende Spirituosen noch gegeben hätte. Die Kellner sind gut drauf und auch traditionell gekleidet. Das Essen wirkte authentisch und wurde auch ohne besteck geliefert. Auf Nachfragen aber kein Problem für uns Kulturbanausen ;) Zahlung mit Kreditkarte möglich.

Ein super Restaurant mit leckeren äthiopischen Gerichten. Eine absolute Empfehlung, vorallem weil das Personal und die Location super sind.

Das Essen war unglaublich lecker! Die Gewürze sind toll, die Zutaten frisch und eine tolle Mischung auf dem Teller. Die MitarbeiterInnen waren toll - sie waren unglaublich angenehm und strahlten eine ruhige, entspannte Freundlichkeit aus. Total lieb und gastfreundlich. Nach dem Essen wurde uns ein Kaffee aufs Haus angeboten! Der Kaffee wurde mit Weihrauch auf dem Tablett serviert, mit salzigem Popcorn als snack - auch aufs Haus. Der Kaffee war nicht bitter, und hat sehr gut geschmeckt.

Love this place. I miss my South Indian dishes a lot and this is very close to what I used to eat back at home. The staff is super friendly and the food is simply awesome. We ordered combination 10 (which is a mix of #8, #9, and #15 dishes on the menu) which is 2 nonveg ( beef, lamb semi gravy), and 15 which has 3 vegan dishes in it ( mix of lentils, salad, and cabbage ). I would recommend this place 100% to anyone who likes to try out new cuisines

I’ve been to plenty of Ethiopian restaurants, so while I’m not an expert, I’ve had better and worse Ethiopian before and this is definitely one of the better ones! Every curry was well-seasoned and the variety was delightful. The 13 EUR vegetarian combination is a perfect amount of food for one person and very fair for the price. The injera could have maybe been a little bit fresher but I came at an off-hour so not gonna be picky.

Sehr authentisches gutes Essen !

Sehr nette Bedienung und super leckeres Essen!

The food is crazy tasty! And that bread!!!! OMG. If I was not afraid of the expansion of my waist line, I'd eat there every day😁 The staff are very sweet and friendly.

Nun schon zum dritten Mal in kurzer Zeit habe ich mich verwöhnen lassen von Küche und Service, sehr flexibel und hervorragend, dringende Empfehlung jedes Mal!

Nice Ethiopian food. Test like Indian food.

This is one of my favorite restaurant in Berlin. Ethiopian dishes served in a very traditional setup & in a traditional way. Have been here twice and this place never disappoints! You can opt to get the dish to-share, the bread (made from their tief grain) is served on the side. Incredible flavors! Highly recommended!

Das Essen, der Kaffee, das Personal - alles super 😍👍👍👍

Really nice service and very tasty, good quality food. The waitress explained us, first time visitors having no idea what Ethiopian food was, how to eat the meals. Portions are also quite big.

Wir waren zum ersten Mal äthiopisch essen, beim ersten Mal in Berlin und sind mehr als begeistert! 😄 Das Essen (große Platte zum Teilen, meist vegetarisch) war köstlich. Mir hat zudem der Honigwein so gut geschmeckt. Im Restaurant herrschte außerdem eine gemütliche Atmosphäre mit entspannter Musik und gastfreundliches Personal. Nach dieser schönen Erfahrung sagen wir einfach: bis definitiv nächsten Mal! 😍

Super coole Location, tolle Menschen und wahnsinnig gutes Essen. Hat richtig Spaß gemacht! Tolle Entdeckung in Charlottenburg!

had a buffet dinner there with my friend. as we love spicy food everything we've tried was super delicious.

Sehr leckeres Essen und nette Bedienung! Dazu kann man recht ruhig draußen sitzen.

Very friendly staff and delicious Ethiopian food. Definitely recommend the combo with injira.

Mittelmäßiges Restaurant mit nicht dazu passenden Preisen

Incredible food! Very authentic

Leckeres Essen! Vegetarier sollten aufpassen, ob nicht doch ein Fleischgericht auf dem gemischten Teller ist. Ich habe mich gefreut. Und man sollte auf die Preise in der Karte achten, sonst zahlt man evtl. zu wenig 😂

Das kleine Lokal wirkt unscheinbar von außen doch begrüßt mit gemütlicher Atmosphäre im Inneren (nur Achtung an alle, die keine Räucherkerzen mögen, die verzaubern mit ihrem mystischen Geruch Das Lokal) Das Essen wurde schnell serviert und preislich für die Menge so gut. Wir hatten die vegane Platte für 3 Personen und was soll ich sagen? Es ist unglaublich! Das selbstgemachte äthiopische Brot (wie ein herzhafter Crêpe leicht säuerlicher Geschmack) und die unglaublich aromatischen Gerichte dazu! Auch das äthiopische DjuDju Bier klare Empfehlung für alle, die Radler mögen! Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

Delicious Ethiopian cuisine. We got the veggie combo and everything was absolutely wonderful, the injera was perfect and the beer was lovely. All in all, really nice dinner and will be back.

Die Nr. 4 "Gebratene Rindfleischwürfel" waren geschmacklich gut aber leider nicht essbar da zäh und flachsig (Fleischqualität). Die Nr. 15 Ye-Tsom war fleischlos und sehr gut. Bedienung kam nur auf Zuruf am Tisch vorbei, jedes Getränk musste mit winken und warten bestellt werden. Obwohl am Eingang ein großes Plakat mit "All cards welcome", hieß es beim zahlen "no cards", so geht es aber doch nicht!

Das beste äthiopische Restaurant in Berlin

Ein schönes gemütliches Restaurant. Der Service war gut und aufmerksam. Das Essen war sehr sehr köstlich und von guter Qualität. Wir wurden sehr sehr freundlich begrüßt und bedient. Ein gelungener Abend. Danke dafür.

Super lecker und freundlich! Immer wieder gerne :)

Nice place, good food. Only cash (at least these days) and no dessert. I really recommend it for a taste of Ethiopian food.

Sehr gutes Essen und sehr freundliche Bedienung, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

delicious food and very nice service, we're definitely comming again

Excellent taste, authentically Ethiopian flavors. My husband, my brother and I walked in without reservations and they were very accommodating and willing to help us find seating (though I do recommend making reservations). We ordered the meat comb and the veggie combo. Both were amazing and the service was wonderful.

Mir hat es im Addis-Abeba gut gefallen & geschmeckt. Das Essen war gut gewürzt, frisch und reichlich. Der Service war aufmerksam, aber nicht aufdringlich. Einzig die Einrichtung/Atmosphäre könnte man sicherlich noch ein wenig aufmöbeln 🙂👍🏻
