Ethiopian Restaurant Addis NOLA, a fine eatery that has established an excellent culinary following in its short time in the city, recently opened a new location in historic Bayou Road in New Orleans.
Addis NOLA is currently offering dine-in, takeout and no-contact delivery to its customers. For now, the eatery is focusing on dinner service, with lunch and breakfast service soon to come.
Addis NOLA Relocates To Bayou Road
The new venue is in the space formerly occupied by Cajun King.
“We’re excited to open in our new space and take Addis NOLA to the next level,” said general manager Prince Lobo, who runs Addis NOLA with his mother/founder Dr. Biruk Alemayehu and father chef Jaime Lobo. “Opening on Bayou Road, the Black Wall Street of New Orleans, allows us to embrace our culturally-rich community and shine a spotlight on one of the best-kept secrets in American History.”
A staple among New Orleans’ black-owned restaurants, Addis NOLA is owned and operated by the Alemayehu family.
What’s On The Menu At Addis NOLA?
The restaurant’s menu consists of authentic Ethiopian dishes like:
1. Veggie Combo
One of the most wholesome and healthy options on the menu, the all-vegan, veggie combo gives diners a little taste of everything with red lentils, yellow split peas, collard greens, cabbage with carrots, green lentils, and potatoes.
2. Doro Wot
One of the true crown jewels of Ethiopian cuisine. This is a full-flavored wholesome dish that makes for a truly special meal. White breast meat chicken slowly simmered with caramelized onions in a blend of robust spices and a boiled egg just for fun!
3. Special Kitfo or Addis Special Appetizer
An Ethiopian-style steak tartare dish to behold before it begone. A creative, elegant, and truly amazing dish that marinates prime ground beef with herbal butter mixed with Ethiopian spices, collard greens, and house-made cheese.
Customers have long raved about the place, which is known for its African cuisine. Here’s what one customer recently said upon visiting. “Delicious food, a great staff. The music is loud and fun, but you can still have a conversation. The lamb tibs was my favorite, and my partner loved the chickpeas. Don’t sleep on the coffee or the spiced iced tea, either! It helps to make reservations first. But I’ll definitely be back.”
