    Everything was so good. Definitely get the combination if it's your first time here. You get to try a little bit of everything so next time you come here, you know what to get!

    Sambrusas are great to startsnd share (two portions). The Addis Red Sea Combo for two is amazing! Ask for the traditional Ethiopian sour bread (tef). 10 times better!!!

    Order veg combos, instead of a separate dish. The food is really good but they sometimes don't accept credit/debit cards. Cash becomes a hustle. Check with them before you place an order.

    Some favorites from our review: Doro tibs (chicken dish) and vegan atakilt. Ethiopians traditionally have coffee after meals so stick around and try a rich coffee offering! Read more

    They have enough variety for vegetarians too. I would like the dishes to be served hotter than now.

    Get the combo platter w/beef. Spicy, savory & big enough for 4-6people to eat. I had their coffee, which they roast & grind in-house.

    I've eaten a lot of Ethiopian food both in Ethiopia, in DC and in other cities and it simply did not compare. The food, including the injera, just simply did not have its authentic taste.

    the injera bread is the star. pick any dish from the menu, and load up with the unlimited supply of bread!

    Really nice place and wonderful staff. The food was decent, but not the best Ethiopian I've had by a long shot.

    The staff are very kind and helpful. Share a veggie or combo for two to try lots of things!

    Try the best Ethiopian food around. Addis tops anything else in Boston, and beats out NYC and DC, as well.

    Try a meat AND vegetarian sampler - Yasa Tib is AMAZING! Order kitfo RAW with garlic. I died and went to heaven! Great wine to compliment the food! Read more

    Extreemly slow service. Took us over 40min to get our food when the place was around 90% full. Really great food though. If you can make a reservation then do it.

    Good food, TERRIBLE service. 40 min wait for food, water never got refilled, and when we got our check, the waitress told us it was cash only, so my husband had to run to an atm.
