About this spot
Addis in Cape delivers authentic Ethiopian flavors in the heart of Bo-Kaap, where injera bread is served warm and spongy enough to scoop up rich stews like misir wot. The menu features regional specialties such as shiro (chickpea stew) and tibs (sautéed meat), offering a taste that feels distinctly Addis Ababa rather than a generic imitation.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order your injera first so it stays fresh and pliable for scooping the stews throughout your meal.
- Bring cash, as many small eateries in Bo-Kaap do not accept credit cards or mobile payments.
- Expect to share plates family-style; order three or four different stews to sample the full range of flavors.
