Practical and cheap

Although food does tend to be cheap in Ethiopia, I still found the vegan buffet super worth it at ETB 104 (about USD 5 with taxes). The place stands close to the National museum, in the northern part of Addis, so it comes out as a practical lunch for tourists. I haven't tried their dinner options, but lunch definitely pleased me: traditional and simple Ethiopian food, just what I wanted!

It's nice to sit outside and eat a lot of veggies. I was happy with the buffet and really liked the yellow lentil stew. Would def go again.

A little disappointing

Yes--it's good that there's an all-you-can-eat vegan buffet open every day for lunch in Addis. And the old hotel itself had an interesting ambiance. However, the day I went (Saturday) was really crowded, and it took a long time to get a seat (and even longer to get the water I ordered). While the variety of the food was decent (injera--multiple kinds, rice, spaghetti, various lentil/bean dishes, vegetable dishes and salads), the quality was a little below average for Ethiopian standards (the rice was bland and dry, some of the vegetable dishes had little or no spice). Usually getting the atkilt bayinetu (the injera with a mixture of veggies and wots) at a typical restaurant in Ethiopia will result in better food. I was deciding in my mind between 2 and 3 stars for this place and then saw one of the waitresses kick a cat that had walked into the restaurant--not cool. 2 stars.

Pros: ambiance, decent variety in buffet

Cons: waitress was inhumane to a stray cat, some of the food sub-par, crowded/slow service
