Addis Ababa Restaurant

Addis Ababa Ethiopian Restaurant invites diners to experience the rich flavors of Ethiopia in the heart of Rochester’s South Goodman Street corridor. Housed in a bright space adorned with traditional Ethiopian art, the restaurant offers a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere where the scent of freshly baked injera greets guests at the door. The menu showcases classic dishes such as doro wat, kitfo, and tibs, alongside a robust selection of vegan and vegetarian plates like lentil shiro, mixed vegetable tibs, and the ever‑popular split pea soup, all served on generous sheets of hand‑pulled injera. Chef‑crafted entrees are complemented by a variety of Ethiopian salads, spiced beans, and homemade desserts such as baklava with a hint of berbere. Diners can enjoy a full dinner service Tuesday through Sunday from 11 am to 9 pm, with Monday closed for preparation. Take‑out and delivery are available through the restaurant’s own online ordering system, DoorDash, and Uber Eats. Addis Ababa also provides catering for corporate events, weddings, and private parties, featuring customizable platters that highlight the communal style of Ethiopian dining. Reservations can be made online, and the venue hosts occasional cultural events, live music, and coffee ceremonies that deepen the authentic experience. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Ethiopian cuisine or a curious newcomer, Addis Ababa delivers a vibrant taste of Addis Ababa city without leaving Rochester.
