Last weekend my husband and I made our way to Addis Ababa and had a fabulous time enjoying one of the best meals in Toronto. Both of us love Ethiopian and we used to live right across from a well-known one in New York and were very happy to find Ethiopian House right next door here in Toronto (but it was quite a disappointment. I have reviewed it on Yelp.)
So a strong craving brought us to Addis and we loved the ambience. Dimly lit with candles, both the patio and the restaurant have an informal romantic air and is a great place to unwind on a Friday evening. I ordered the Ethiopian beer and settled in to listen to a great live band (starts late). We ordered the collard greens, Shiro (lentils), Chicken and Lamb which comes on top of an injera (Ethiopian bread). The food was amazing and the best Shiro I have ever tasted. We will make this a once-a-month staple.
Cons - although the staff is very nice, they are difinitely a little stretched on busy evenings.
