Addis Restaurant

Showed up at 1pm for lunch, today, Tuesday March 4 2025.Doors were locked.No signs alerting us.We were very disappointed.

My original review still stands. I've been getting take out from Addis the last few months and it's amazing and hits the spot every time. I call in advance and place my order. My go to is the vegetarian platter and it's a huge portion served with 2 injera breads (think chewy sour pancakes) The pickup order is boxed well and makes it easy to enjoy at home. Huge serving too. I can usually get 2 meals out of it and is a great value for around $15. If you're apprehensive about dining in, do try the take out!

This was my first experience with Ethiopian food. Wow! 4 of us went and based on the waiter's suggestion we got the large multidish sampler. When it arrived at the table I asked him to point out the spicy dishes so I could avoid them. In addition to 2 baskets of injera the entire bowl was lined with injera. It was delicious. I mastered using it to pick up food from the individual bowls. in addition to the small bowls there were dips all around the bowls. I just had water with my meal and 2 had the mango drink. We did not finish everything so we had plenty of food to take home. What a fun experience. Will go back soon.the parking lot is small and dark. The restrooms are clean. The TV had an ethiopian station on- very interesting. sorry no pix- my meal mates dug in before I had a chance. The wait staff was wonderful and the owner came out to make sure we were doing OK.

Great ethiopian food! The service is consistently friendly and helpful, they're great people. The food is delicious, the prices are fair, and the music videos on the screen are a delight. Easy pickup for takeout orders, or you can sit in the cosy dining room.

Best East African food known to man. Savory, spicy and hearty. The inside doesn't look like much but that is when you can tell they b throw down in the kitchen.

A year after finding this place and I still get takeout when I'm in town. The staff are so friendly and the food is awesome. I prefer a more sour injera and this place has the best. I always get the veggie plate and chicken tibs--dinner and lunch the next day. Take out is by phone. They do have a small parking lot on the side of their building and it's almost always full.

A lovely restaurant with delicious food and extremely friendly staff!The injera was so soft and moist; I just wanted to curl up into it like a blanket. Or maybe a pillow! Or maybe!! One injera rolled up as a pillow and the other unfurled as a blanket??? Thoughts??I've never had Ethiopian meat dishes before but the kitfo blew me away. The beef was tender and flavorful, pairing well with the cottage cheese and the dry spice on the side. Tbh the idea of meat + cottage cheese confused me at first but it's actually so brilliant. In hindsight, the health hoes on tiktok are all over that these days.My favorite stew of the veggie lover's was for sure the yellow split peas but the red lentils were a close second (sheeeeesh). Several of the stews were a tad spicy so be forewarned :o Order a mango drink full of fruity frefreshing to feel better.I wish I had included pictures of the menu because prices have risen a few dollars since the menu pics I saw last year but I think it's fair because the portions here are so generous. You could easily split one dish between two people. Or you could get two dishes to share and have plenty for another day ! My tippy is to reheat leftovers with a damp paper towel to kinda steam the injera.If possible, would recommend eating in the restaurant though! The ambiance is neat and I liked the smell of the incense :)

Addis continues to impress. It's been seven years since I first came here and the quality has remained consistent and outstanding. Most of their selections are excellent but my favorite has been their doro wot. The flavors are deep and scintillating. The only slight negative is that the doro wot is extremely rich and heavy. The injera is also excellent and their portions are more than generous.I would recommend going with a large group so you can try all types of different flavors.The ambiance is basic but the service is always friendly and efficient -- the owner often comes out and jokes with you. If you like Ethiopian food or want to try it out check this place out -- I think this is the best one in Columbus.

My family and I came from church to try out this restaurant, we are East African so we are familiar with traditional Ethiopian dishes.This is hands down the best Ethiopian food I've ever eaten. The injera was so good, normally injera is very sour. But this injera tasted perfect. If you haven't yet tried Addis, you're missing out..

Addis is such a great place. A friend took me there a while back and we had so much fun. The food is delicious and the people are really friendly.I recently took my son there, and he said it was the coolest restaurant he has ever been to and wants to come back with all his friends.I never knew Ethiopian food was so good!
