When I first discovered this place everything was great!!! As time went on the hours changed and its not consistent. Now its open from 4pm to 4am but I showed up almost at 5 and was told to come back because the cook wasn't there yet. And when I did the made up a price... theres no set price... the menu online is outdated I was told. And its now $20 OR $22 for tibs and it only come with salad... I asked the young lady what does the price depends on and she said " I don't know. " I asked her can I order a side of cabbage and how much.. "I'll give to you for $4". Just unprofessional for me. I food is great!! When consistent... the portions are good, it's just it became unprofessional for me. And I don't like the different pricing.I like to have consistency. They came out with new men used in stuck to a certain price point and About when they were going to open the restaurant, it would be great
Delicious meal!! Great service and culture.
Every city has its secrets, and in Louisville, one of them is a hidden gem that feels more like a passageway than a restaurant. Addis Ababa Ethiopian Bar and Restaurant isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to remember. I didn’t expect much. I never do. But when I searched for ethnic food, I found more than I had hoped—a cluster of Ethiopian spots in a city I wouldn’t have guessed had them. Three options. But I wanted the one that felt the most authentic, the one where the scent of berbere in the air made you stop in your tracks. Addis Ababa was that place. The moment I stepped inside, I wasn’t in Louisville anymore. The music, the faces, the atmosphere—it was Addis. And the food? A feast, a celebration of tradition, plated in the form of an enormous communal spread meant to be eaten the way it always has been—with your hands, tearing off pieces of injera to scoop up fragrant, slow-cooked perfection. Service wasn’t fast, but this isn’t fast food. And if you’re looking for fancy cocktails, you won’t find them. Here, it’s whiskey shots and nothing more. In the back, African music hums beneath the chatter, mixing with the clack of dominoes and the bubbling smoke of the hookah lounge. When I walked in, the room paused for just a second—an acknowledgment that white faces don’t pass through here often. But that only makes me want to return. Because food is about connection, about stepping outside of the expected and into something real. Five stars for the meal, five more for the experience. Some places deserve to be known. This is one of them.
