Addissae brings authentic Ethiopian cuisine to Asheville with genuine teff injera and grass-fed lamb prepared with the care of someone who lived in Ethiopia for years, earning a devoted following from diners who travel across state lines for repeat visits. The family-style dining experience showcases vibrant, lovingly-prepared dishes that celebrate vegetarian options alongside rich meat stews, all delivered with the warmth of genuinely kind staff who make every guest feel cherished.
Reviewers consistently praise Addissae's food quality, with multiple guests highlighting the vegetarian platter, lamb tibbs, and authentic injera as standouts, along with generous portion sizes and well-seasoned dishes featuring vegetables and lentils. The staff receives frequent commendation for being exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and hospitable, with one reviewer noting the injera is made from 100% teff and comparing the restaurant favorably to other Ethiopian restaurants across the United States. One minor complaint appears in two reviews noting slower check delivery times, though this is attributed to limited staff during busy periods rather than poor service.
