    the food was so so, like the derkosh firfer was good but the so called fasting kitfo was not on top of that the kocho that came with the kitfo was ice cold, the service isn't that good either for instant it took them forever to bring us a tea which was cold btw and when we complained about the kocho being cold there response was "no it ain't" also keep in mind if your driving to this establishment parking is difficult or not available as it is beside bole road

    so OMG! I ordered the fasting kitfo and misir. And it’s the most delicious food I’ve eaten. Definitely recommend trying. So if your looking for vegetarian/vegan options, it’s the place for you.

    We had fasting food and it was tasty. The interior art looks great but the service can use some improvement.

    Fafresh has the most amazing traditional foods everything from fasting to non fasting items and in addition with that an outstanding service. I would personally say it has set a high standard for the resturants out there 😊. They are really wellcoming and just feels like home. Its a place where everyone should try. (You won't be disappointed 100%)

    I had fasting kitfo, fasting Tibs, and Shiro with my cousins and we were glad we tried it. The place is cosy with a hospitable reception. I'll be visiting again and try all the foods on the menu. Reasonable price, taste of home food, and reliable on quality. The injera was so good. I suggest everyone to try it. Keep up the good job.

    I had an amazing experience @Fafresh. Absolutely delicious food, very warm and flexible team. Great variety of fasting Ethiopian food. If you don't have enough space to eat it all, they also freez and pack food for you to take home 😋.

    Actually there is nothing to complain about this place, foods are exceptional you will always want more and more even if you’re staffed. The food I’ve tasted are full of flavors. great atmosphere gives you the cultural vibe. they also give great catering service for your programs.The place is a bit small so during their pick hours you can have a hard time to get your padded sits. Overall, wonderful service, mouthwatering food and very nice atmosphere. I would really recommend this place.

    What an exceptional place! I stayed in Addis for 6 days and luckily I came across this place on day 1 and ended up eating there evey day, often two times a day. I am veggie so only ate fasting food, which was incredibly tasty, fresh, great value and also very creative - there were some fasting dishes that I'd never seen before. All the staff were a delight. They played great music in the background, its easy to find, nice natural sunlight inside and the delivery service was first class. I am literally deaming of going back to Addis so i can feast on their food more!

    Visited Fafresh many times and tried their "Belaledi yometa Kitfo" – an absolute delight! The flavors were authentic and the dish was prepared with precision. The ambiance at the restaurant perfectly complements the cultural experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a true taste of local cuisine.

    Don’t eat at this place. Eat if you want your money to be wasted. I ordered Kitfo and they brought a large portion of Ayibe and a small portion of Kitfo.

  • 5/5 Bethelhem F. T. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 T. G. 10 months ago on Google
    Modernised and ahead of the times, traditional restaurant... it's still a bit difficult to communicate with the staff in English, but they've been a great sport.

  • 5/5 lidya a. 1 year ago on Google
    Their food is wow👏👏 Cool spot for anyone who wants to eat traditional dish.

  • 5/5 Yoseph A. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the Tibs, it was awesome, and the portion is adequate.

  • 1/5 Mahder A. 1 year ago on Google
    Fafresh started out nicely, but now they have the worst service, very small portion and always something missing like Kocho or Ayeb, long food preparation time ... additionally the 2 waiters are not well trained, do not advise you on what is there or not after waiting for a long while... especially lunch times are crazy.. beverages being forgotten to be prepared. Hot Mess...

  • 5/5 Endris M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fafresh is the simply one of the best in the city. Their Kitfo is special.

  • 5/5 yalkut b. 6 months ago on Google • 1 review
    i had an amazing tibs with an awesome awaze. The awaze was just so good i suggest they prepare it as one whole meal or they should start selling it in a jar.
