Fodor's Expert Review Addis in Dar

It might look unassuming from the outside, but as soon as you climb the stairs of this Ethiopian family-run institution, you'll be welcomed into a space that has been a long-standing go-to in the city. Food is eaten communally and with the hands—traditional Ethiopian style—and you'll scoop delicious stews and sauces from the plate with the traditional injera bread; there are good options for vegetarians. Seating is around a small table with low chairs on an outside terrace overlooking a tranquil leafy garden (bring insect repellent) amid traditional umbrellas. Book in advance as this place fills up.
