"Ever wonder where coffee drinking first started? Every Saturday, Addis pays homage to the birthplace of coffee beans with traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremonies at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Small batches of coffee beans are roasted in a pan over a tiny open flame for freshly roasted java. Friends and family gather around the coffee-making process, bonding and sharing news until the pot of coffee is ready for everyone to drink." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo, Eater Staff

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.

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 hidden gem is DIVINE for Ethiopian food. Portions are perfect and the LAMB is phenomenal. Highly recommend if you like this food. The owners are sooooo lovely but be sure the food is cooked fresh so it could take like 30 mins so sit back and relax.

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.

My friends and I attended the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony. The ritual is both beautiful and informative.

If your wanting the cleanest tasting injera in San Diego that isnt loaded in canola oil then keep reading… this place is clean. Ample seating. Staff is attentive yet they let you eat in peace. Food is soooo tasty. 4th time here. The portion size is great. Roughly $17 for the veggie platter. Flavors are sooo rich. Bathroom is clean and parking is out back or on the street. Did I mention, the feeling of eating with your hands and licking the seasoning off your fingers taste sooo good (given that you have washed your hands👀). Overall, love this place hence why I keep finding my car in the parking lot.

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.
