“ We had such a great meal here this afternoon! We ordered two of the vegetarian combo plates. Every item on the platter was seasoned perfectly, and our server Martha kept the injera coming. Our favorite side was the cabbage. They don’t have coffee yet, but they do have this wonderful Ethiopian tea spiced with clove that we had after dinner and it paired sooo nicely with the homemade tiramisu. We got three to-go plates so the rest of our family could experience it too. Aside from the wonderful food, the atmosphere of the restaurant is cheerful, warm and inviting. Martha was so incredibly kind and welcoming, before we even got our food, I already knew we would be coming back. Support this local small business!!! ”

“ Delicious food, people working there are really nice, great vibe. Highlight from the drinks menu: Ethiopian beer (which is delicious), and honey wine. ”

“ As an Ethiopian, I can confidently say this is one of the most authentic and heartwarming dining experiences I’ve had in New York. The food took me right back home—perfectly spiced, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. Every dish reflected the true essence of Ethiopian cuisine. What made the experience even more special was the incredible hospitality. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely made me feel like family. The atmosphere was vibrant and full of life, especially with the beautiful Ethiopian music playing in the background—it added such a special touch. This restaurant is not just a place to eat; it’s a celebration of Ethiopian culture and community. If you’re looking for authentic Ethiopian food and a memorable experience, this is absolutely the place to go. I wholeheartedly recommend it! ”

“ What a spectacular find! This lovely Ethiopian restaurant has a welcoming ambiance and delicious food cooked by sisters with complementary talents — one specializes in the vegetarian dishes and one in the meat dishes. Both are perfectly spiced and served with the care that such beautifully crafted food deserves. ”

“ Charming, attentive, and delicious. Those are the words that best describe this establishment. The food tasted like it was made by someone that had invited me over for dinner and made just for the occasion. I will be returning to this restaurant. ”

“ The staff at this Ethiopian restaurant create a warm and welcoming experience, adding to the great quality food being served. In my visit to NYC I was looking forward to dining at an Ethiopian restaurant. I visited Addey Ababa as a first timer and the restaurant definitely deserves a second visit. I have to give the staff a 10/10 for their service and kindness. In terms of the food, the restaurant can cater to both vegans and meat eaters. I ordered the Shiro Wot, a very tasty, non-spicy chickpea stew. I also had a coffee, which was delicious and needed absolutely no creamer added. High quality restaurant. I recommend you give Addey Ababa an have the experience for yourself. ”
