    I was given undone chicken burger. The burger didn't taste nice. The service was good, though. You will find it confusing to find the place at first. They sell Arabic sweets which you will find it easily across the streets but you have to turn around and go down of the same building. The sweets were not that good and not so many types like for Basbosa, I saw 2 types didn't look nice to me. Plus, Aush Albulbul was with peanuts when it is well known with pistachios. I noticed every sweet was filled with peanuts. Only one type with pistachios. But I took it anyways not as I was hoping it was.

    They've quite the way with any type of customers. With a variety of meals, from European to local, much less Ethiopian traditional ones. So I read the menu minutes... minutely. The quality is not necessarily an unqualified triumph. A narrow escape, I say, but the woman manager took care of the way how to grill, which is rarely seen, I appreciate her careful attention with trying to make sure.

    Some how I find it a bit expensive...but I have tested their fasting foods ('Beyaynet' and 'Shiro') and was delicious. Their service is excellent. I'm looking forward to trying the other foods I haven't tested.

    They serve good food, however that’s if you get a chance to order the food. I highly advise you skip this one and go to somewhere closer on Bole road.

    Very slow service. The best part of the menu is the starters, very good. But for the rest the prices are too high for the quality of the food

    Nice location. We had Nile pearch with mushroom, it was delicious and beyond our expectations! The service is ok but can be better. They did not came and asked us about what do we need more and how was the food. The place is old and needs renovation. There is a car parking area inside the property.

    Flamingo resturant has been at this corner forever. It was good to return to it. The staff are friendly and polite. Food is fresh and berebere quotient can be upped and reduced upon request. Priced reasonably for an office going clientele.

    This the first time we visited the chef’s plate and I know I was missing a lot as soon as I entered the restaurant. The vibe and ambiance is spot on with waiters greeting you with a warm smile. The food was great from the starting salad till the end of the dessert. It’s a place worth visiting. Amazing food. Superb service.

    I liked that the Pasti was lower in fat. Less oil. The black seeds on top were delicious and the food was healthy. To grab your Pastis before they run out, arrive at 5 p.m.

    Tasteless chicken ravioli. Also left a shopping bag behind came back within 1 hour and it was gone! No one said they saw anything. So basically paid for food I didn’t eat and lost an 800 Birr shirt 😢

    The place is rly nice with good interior designing. Food was good but the service was the worst. Two waiters got our orderes wrong and we had to wait rly long to get served. They didn’t have hot beverages as well because there was a power cut. Over all the ambiance is nice but they need to work on the service

  • 5/5 rebecca i. 5 years ago on Google
    Fantastic !! A real European taste !!! Best food best service !!!! It actually feels like your eating in a restaurant in Paris😀

  • 3/5 Sosina A. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere if you enjoy live music and dance! Service is very slow, severs are usually unattentive or seem to be busy elsewhere so you have to almost chase them at times. The dance is awesome, the guy dancers are amazing when representing Ethiopian cultural dance, I find that the ladies put less effort and energy for the Ethiopian dances compared to the 'other' dances with their overexposed outfits. Price is on the expensive side.

  • 1/5 Ephrata N. 4 years ago on Google
    There is so much problem with this place. Oddly wide space.. Has a depressing vibe. Food tastes terrible. I don't recommend it to anyone.

  • 5/5 ʞouɘH 5 years ago on Google
    I love this place for a great atmosphere, authentic food, beers , Sheesha and of course live Arabic music and belly dance! The restaurant is open so late until 3:00 AM. I went there few times during my descent trip and I can’t wait to come back. It’s must have dining and entertainment experience in Addis Ababa.

  • 2/5 Louise H. 4 years ago on Google
    Very overpriced and food that should have been hot was cold. No discount for vegetarians either and they had no real baklava despite their separate bakery shop.

  • 4/5 Tariq K. 6 years ago on Google
    .Good place to have Lebanese and oriental food, they serve a good falafel they have an entertaining shows presenting different music types, Ethiopian songs and shows, arabic, english and sudanese

  • 1/5 Jack W. 4 years ago on Google
    A giant but empty place lit by neon and soundtracked by a generic jazz YouTube compilation. Drinks are nightclub prices but maybe that’s the vibe they’re going for? When I asked the manager about it he laughed in my face and said it’s because they’re the highest quality venue in Addis...our experience and its awful atmosphere would beg to differ. Would avoid.

  • 1/5 Suzy D. 4 years ago on Google
    Felt compelled to review this place - please avoid. The food was average, the service was slow, the drinks were overpriced by a disgusting amount. The place was dead apart from a few shisha smokers (which made eating unenjoyable).

  • 4/5 Ahmed N. 4 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) The cafeteria that overlooks the main street serves spectacular coffee and has a variety of sweets such as cakes, croissants and typical cookies. The restaurant, which is located in the back (you enter through the barrier on the left side of the building) serves a variety of Lebanese dishes (very rich) as well as pasta, pizza, etc ... the price is a Little high but rewards the cleanliness of the premises, not so much the service, still, would return. (Original) La cafeteria que da a la calle principal sirve un café espectacular y tiene una gran variedad de dulces como pasteles, croissants y galletas típicas. El restaurante, que se encuentra en la parte trasera (se entra por la barrera que hay al lado izquierdo del edificio) sirve una gran variedad de platos Libaneses (muy ricos) al igual que pastas, pizzas, etc... el precio es un poco elevado pero recompensa la limpiez del local, no tanto el servicio, aún así, volvería.

    The food is fine. Inspired by middle east cuisine. Interior is cosy, with lots of room. Personnel is friendly, but don't know about wines available. The actual restaurant is in a back street. Do not confuse it with the bakery in the main street. You can ask in the bakery shop how to get to the restaurant. Some of the photos here in google maps actually show the bakery!
