I went to Addis with a friend for a lunch meeting. We talked about orphans and politics in Haiti. Lunch was good.
I was surprised to be the only customers in the restaurant at the time. We got there at 12pm and left at 1. No one came in that whole time. The food was very good and the very friendly owner chatted with us for a while about business.
They have several lunch specials options that go un-noticed because they do not advertise much. Most of the lunch specials are $10.95. It’s Ethiopian food, so you can eat with your hands. If you’ve washed them.

did you discuss the orphans simply because you were in a restaurant that served food originating from a third world country?
-Curious me
No, we discussed orphans because my meeting was with the director of an orphanage in Haiti. We happen to like Ethiopian food.
I was just curious. I used to work at an Ethiopian restaurant; this particular one that you reviewed, actually, and I found that people were more inclined to talk about poverty and orphans and charities they’re involved in when they came there. Could’ve been a coincidence, though I doubt it. So, the reason I asked you the subconscious reasoning behind your discussion is because I have always been curious as to why people felt the need to discuss these topics there.
I, too, am a big fan of Ethiopian food.
