During several visits to Addis, I had the opportunity to go to this venue not only to eat but to be fully entertained, I mean EN-TER-TAINED. The atmosphere and reminisent of some swinging sixties era euopean nightclub caborat. It is clean and comfortable, the food is good, not great, but I dont think most go there for the food. Its the entertainment that makes this place worth the journey through the whinding streets of Addis Ababa to get there. Wow. Music for Arabic to traditional Ethiopian. The band(s), I have seen several iterations of the same band, are good, solid musicans. The dancers however, will make the night. Never let anyone tell you that what they are selling is not worth buying. Wow again. The dancers are all stunning, beautiful women, full figured with moves that make one shake his head and clap his hands. The maker made them all very well. So if you find yourself in Addis and you want a night full of good food, good company and good entertainment, find your way to this venue. If you leave and did not have a good time, you did it wrong.

Very good Turkish style restaurant. The covered outdoor seating offers a lot of space and privacy; and a smaller inner section makes it complete for when it's rainy and windy. The food cooler in the accessible rear kitchen area contains all the meat and salad on display and one can choose what he likes and according to the appetite. But they have of course also a menu, with photographs in it, and orders can be made once seated. The restaurant is clean, the staff very hospitable and swift, and the turkish chef prepares the meat in a delicious manner. The BBQ together with the turkish flatbread with sesame seeds, salad and Ayran is really very good. The restaurant is the right place for an extended brunch, lunch or dinner, or for people with little time.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The hummus I would not recommend. But the stuffed chicken breast (stuffed with vegetables and cheese) was delicious. I think you just have to find their strong suits. I would try again.Dear Thank you for trying our food, and glad you like our famous dish âStuffed Chickenâ I would like you to try the hummus again if you can.I am just surprised it was not to your liking. Not sure what exactly went wrong with the hummus you ordered but please try it again. And let me know...â[email protected]â.

This is the best taste that i can found in AddisAbaba. Kebap, aparatives, Turkish pizza and of course the Turkish Tea was perfect. The owner Mr. Mehmet is a very polite person. The prices are a bit expensive for Ethiopia conditions but normal for this good tastes. Hope to come again in my next visit.

Enjoyed a Sunday morning breakfast of Foul Special. Service was prompt, foul & salad was good but the bread was harder than it should've been. This foul is different than Addis Sports Cafeteria but bonus for the delicious falafel included with the plate. Located directly across the street from Saint Gabriel hospital, on the patio of a hotel. Only outside seating,most are low tables with bucket stools & lots of shade so can get quite chilly. No washroom...might be able to use hotel washroom but I'm unsure. Can park in hotel compound as street parking is limited and usually crowded.Fyi when there's no electricity = no order of just falafel plate.

Excellent spot to drop in for lunch or dinner. The coffee is excellent, in particular the macchiato which you can have extra strong! I am in love with the falafel wrap and the shawarma (shawarma only available on certain days at this location as the expert moves between bole and kazanches limetree locations). We love the cool atmosphere and the high table with stools. Located just behind the boston day spa building on bole.

Slightly gidsen, but nice gated terrace. After having lived in Beirut and in love with Lebanese food, I was ready for my next culinairy adventure. Small menu, with solid names. Reality was not that great. All kind of flat in flavours. Regretably. I got the impression they do not a Lebanese chef who makes the food Lebanese.

Wonderful service. Came in alone and was welcomed right away. They helped me carry my bags in, gave me the WiFi password and helped me choose vegetarian options. I was here while breakfast was being served and they went out of their way to allow me to order off the lunch menu. A few months prior, I came in with a large group for a birthday, and they stayed open late for us, again with wonderful service. Highly recommend!Dear Valued Customer, Thank you so much for coming back again!!! We appreciate your feedback and sharing your experience with us and everyone. We look forward to many more of your visits and we hope you enjoy our new menu coming very soon. Best Regards,The BAM team
