The food was just decent - not worth the money we spent at all though. You get double the portions at any other Ethiopian restaurant at Bloor/Ossington. I agree with Eden - service could use a lot of help. I think this place just has publicity because it's been on tv and the owner has published a cookbook - but for authentic Ethiopian food please DON'T go here! Still not happy about the money we wasted - actually we went to another place right after since we left hungry!

Food was bland and expensive, service was so-so. I won't be returning. Nazareth at Bloor and Dovercourt is a million times better!

the food was very bad and it seems like it has been cooked not in the same day just like two days ago, and not to mentioned the service also was VERY VERY BAD. I been in another Ethiopian resturant before and the food was great.

thank u

Horrible. My girlfriend is Ethiopian and we've been to many Ethiopian restaurants in the city. This one is by far the worst. So bad we went a second time just in case it was a fluke and were just as disappointed. Food was way way too salty. There's a reason you don't see Ethiopians dining there

This place is delicious! haven't been in quite a while, but I am certain that things haven't changed. I know one thing for certain, if I had gone to a place where the food wasn't good the first time, I wouldn't be going back a second. Just saying...sounds like a personal issue above, rather than a fact!

I first ate at Addis in 1995/96, yes, it has been open that long. I went with a friend who is Oromo (Ethiopian) and neither of us was impressed.

At one time there were many Ethiopian restaurants on Bloor St.W and most were wonderful. A personal favorite, owned by a friend, was Dirre at Bloor and Symington - long closed. I live close to Addis and walk by frequently, I never see *any* Ethiopians eating there - not a good sign. Fortunately I was taught how to make a number of dishes - zigni, tibs, ful - to name but a few. Ingera (bidena) is available at a number of Parkdale shops, and in order to avoid disappointment, I cook my own.
